allow me to combine the drawings so i don't have to go through each page separately to view and print
rather than click on the index and go through what pages i need, it would be easier and quicker to combine the drawings so i can print multiple pages off in one.

Improve Specification Search results
When doing a search for my company name I was surprised that a project I had documents for was not appearing even though I knew the "Architectural Spec" showed the word that I was searching for.
After talking to EstimateOne support I was informed that there were two reasons why the project wasn't showing.
1) The project I had accessed documents for was being tendered by two Builders. The documents I had received were from a Builder who had since withdrawn from the tender. Because the Builder had withdrawn their documents were not being searched as part of the specification…

Thanks for your detailed feedback, we thoroughly appreciate it. We are planning a larger review of specification search in the near future, and this will form part of it. Stay tuned for further information. Thank you again for your thoughts. -
Write notes while reviewing specs & drawings
Have the notes tab up for entries while reviewing drawings and specs. At this point I need to review drws and specs and then either write my notes down or highlight the passage required, copy and then get out of viewing and back to notes to either transcribe or paste.

Notes
when using the notes section of Estimate One it would be great if you could just hover over the notes icon to show what you have written instead of having to go into the icon every time you needed to check on anything that you have written

Consultants to be split up by their state/office.
It would be great if the consultants were created separately by their office, not nationally.

Searched Documents
It would be great to be able to download all the documents that come up from a search when you've used the search feature in a project instead of having to open them individually and saving them.

A usage report to be made available
A usage report to be made available of all team members of a company; this will facilitate account monitoring as well as usage and can even be used to monitor sales representative performance.
Also, that team members last log-in details is only available for viewing to the administrators and not to every single team members.
4 votesHi Jemy,
Thanks for your feedback here, this is something we’ve talked about doing before. We’d love to know a bit more about exactly what data you’d find valuable and how you’d use it. Would you be keen to have a more detailed conversation with us? -
Project Status: 'Under Negotiation'
Good Morning Zaiga & Sophie.
Further to my earlier suggestions by e-mails to Sophie and Melanie, can you please include an additional option as 'Under Negotiation' or a similar wording in addition to 'Awarded/Lost/Withdrawn' under ACTIVE PROJECTS. Furthermore, if you are running out space, 'Withdrawn' can be replaced with 'Under Negotiation' as I believe this is hardly used by any builders.

Is it possible to have the tool bar with (tender,awarded, watchlist ect) locked in position? this would help when we scroll down the page to quickly choose another tab without scrolling back up.

include a CRM system for sub-contractors
a simple CRM System that draws on the significant information already contained within the Estimate 1 system. to allow the various users under 1 company to pool the information they have gained when completing individual quote's for the various builders and its estimators. using the estimate 1 systems can allow headings to be quickly populated from the information already held in estimate one.
4 votesThanks for the suggestion! We are currently reviewing how we can support workflow management for subbies and suppliers. We don’t have a timeline for this feature but it’s something we appreciate would help manage your projects. Stay tuned!

Can you Tailor your information along the BCI report. I use BCI to find new projects and Estimate One to follow the specification/builder
I use BCI to follow new projects in the "design phase or concept". I then contact architects and present Blum products. The problem I have with BCI is I cant see any plans and check whether the architect actually did as he said and specified Blum products. Therefore I use Estimate One to follow the next step to the builder and look at the plans. However Estimate One is not married to BCI i.e. they seem to be different projects that are tendering with a strong emphasis on education. My target is mainly Multi-Res, Residential and aged care. if you…

Tender Closing Date
Hi Zaiga,
Further to my earlier suggestion by e-mail to Sophie and Melanie, can you please include the closing date in the subject line of the Invite as the subbies often read from their mobiles and keep tracking/responding to the quote request.eg: 'Project Title' - Suburb; Tender Close: 18/12/19
