Project Management & Controls

Having the proper estimating and project management tools are critical to the successful implementation, execution and completion of a project, regardless of its size or duration. We at Beard Construction Group utilize the most up-to-date and innovative technology available in the industry to control the quality, accuracy, efficiency, and cost of our projects.

Project Management

Beard Construction Group uses numerous reliable software programs in the estimating and construction planning phase of the project. BCG provides its customers with a more accurate, detailed estimate prior to construction complemented by a comprehensive construction plan to assist all members of the project management team in the planning and construction phase of the project.

Beard Construction Group’s estimating software provides clients a detailed cost estimate and a more accurate, comprehensive bid proposal. Our programs will integrate with the web and other software programs and can download into certain accounting software.

• Estimating
  Beard Construction Group uses innovative software for estimating such as Heavy Bid. This extremely flexible earthwork and concrete software gives BCG the ability to prepare a detailed cost estimate that easily converts into a more accurate, comprehensive bid proposal. In addition, Carlson Takeoff Suite is a cut/fill volumes and data prep program for layout or machine control that can estimate jobs using paper plan digitizing, PDFs, or electronic CAD files. The Takeoff Suite can perform tasks ranging from accurately determining subgrade, trench, pipe and roadway quantities to to creating a 3D model for machine control and much more.
• Scheduling
  BCG uses Primavera, the industry leader, as its primary software tool to schedule each discipline item and monitor the progress on the overall project. During the job, our project management team evaluates progress against the initial plan, and plans and tracks resources, costs and leveling resources. Overall, our scheduling keeps projects running smoothly and allows us to make quick adjustments when changes occur.
• Accounting & Job Cost Management
  Beard Construction Group’s financial management and job cost accounting system is designed to address the ever-changing demands of the construction industry. This Windows-based construction software is specifically designed for contractors who need accuracy, simplicity, flexibility and more timely information through full integration of all accounting modules including: estimating, purchase orders, subcontracts, job costing, accounts payable, equipment maintenance and tracking, project billing and accounts receivable.
• Project Management & Procurement
  Beard Construction Group uses Prolog PM Software, which allows for advanced vendor and subcontractor setup for improved record keeping including detailed information, qualifications, certifications and contract history. In addition, all contracts and terms and conditions can be attached and logged into Prolog for acknowledgment. Prolog will be used to efficiently track procurement including addenda and modifications where vendor buyout and revisions will be controlled.
