Vico Software Cost Manager 2008 Features & Benefits

Vico Software Cost Manager™ grants the tightest possible control over your project’s budget. With this straightforward visual monitoring system, you easily grasp and communicate project cost variances, and compare them to targeted costs

Target Cost Editor

The concept of Target Costing helps to define and control a budget or a baseline cost estimate. By defining targets, a bandwidth for the project’s budget is established. Updated values can then be compared against them.

Define Specified Target Costs
Increase budget control by setting Target Costs. With the Target Cost Editor, known budgets for parts of the cost breakdown can be defined. This can be done as a cost value or as a percentage of the overall budget.

Divide Remaining Budget
Increase accuracy and granularity on-the-fly. When known items of the cost breakdown have been specified, the remaining budget is automatically divided to the unknown budgets for items in the cost breakdown structure. The level of detail can be increased throughout the project’s phases. This makes defining a set of Target Costs easy and follows the project cycle.

Cost Estimating Version Import

Easily Track cost changes. Versions of a cost estimate (either from Microsoft® Excel™ or Vico Software Estimator™) can be imported into the Vico Software Cost Manager project and compared against the target costs.

Import from Estimator
After exporting an Intermediate Data Set from Vico Estimator, the generated snapshot of the estimate can be imported in the Cost Manager project. During the import, all Recipe, Method and Resource data are imported, as well as any associated quantities.

Import from Excel
Benefit from Cost Manager 2008 functionality – even when using simple Excel spreadsheets as your data source. Cost Manager allows for the importing of this type of estimate by means of an Excel Import Wizard. The wizard helps users to specify step–by-step where cost descriptions and values are located in the spreadsheet..

Project Data Panel

Recipes, Methods, and Resources by Location
when cost estimating data are exported from Vico Estimator, all data are visible by Location in the Project Data Panel. In case of Microsoft Excel files, all line items are included as individual lines in the same Data Panel. In addition to descriptions and costs, quantities associated with these cost items are shown.

Side-by-Side Comparison
Cost Manager provides effective comparison tools which enable tight control over changes. Versions of cost estimating content are compared side-by-side when activated in the comparison. Cost and quantity variations can be easily identified.

Add Comment Callouts
During analysis and comparison of the cost information in Cost Manager, notes can be added to cost items that appear as callouts when hovering over the item after it is saved.

Vico Software 5D Presenter Integration

Tight integration with Vico’s Virtual Construction™ product suite enables users to visualize cost items in the 5D model. Simply select cost items in Cost Manger and choose the “Highlight in Vico Software 5D Presenter™” option. Any 3D Model elements associated with the selected cost item will be highlighted, and other geometry is made translucent. This function further increases the communication support that Cost Manager offers to the entire project team.

Clearly present and communicate Tasks. Using the LBS you can freely sort the display order of locations in Flowline including “mixing” locations. This feature prevents visual Task splitting in Flowline and simplifies the schedule structure.

Gantt Chart View
With the enhanced Gantt chart view, you can be productive from day one. Report your schedule and communicate with your team using a traditional Gantt chart.

Task creation in Gantt Chart
Tasks can be easily created in a Gantt chart by writing to the grid or copy/pasting from Excel. Task name, code, duration, and start and end times can be pasted. Quickly create schedules with standard naming, by just copying them from Excel.

Editable Hierarchy Structure in Gantt
The Editable Hierarchy Structure supports more accurate Gantt chart reporting and presents information in the most suitable format. With the new Hierarchy feature you can show “Location first”,” Task criticality”, and “Task Status”.

Filter Accuracy of Shown Tasks
Using the new hierarchy structure function, users can filter the accuracy of shown Tasks and adjust the level of detail to the target audience. Tasks can be planned to a very accurate degree, but still presented on a less granular level.

Dependency Network
Illustrate the program logic in the network view and add any required dependencies between Tasks. Dependencies can be also created and viewed in the Gantt chart and Flowline views.

Bill-of-Quantities
When creating quantity-based schedules, you can edit or report quantities with the Bill-of-Quantities view

Resource Histogram
The Resource histogram allows you to examine how labor and materials are used throughout a project. You can use this information to drive procurement and assess the feasibility of your schedule plan. The Resource Histogram can also be used to track project progress and to compare the baseline plan for usage of material or labor to actual or forecasted usage.

Location-specific Crew Count

This new feature helps keep the schedule clean and readable. The Control 2008 Location-specific crew count lets you change the number of crews in each location without splitting the Task

User Interface Enhancements

Vico Control’s new UI provide an easy-to-learn, easy-to-use environment. New toolbars give faster access to the most frequently used functions and accelerate the workflow. Toolbars can be docked to screen edges, or float on top of the views. Unused buttons can be hidden.

Printing

Control 2008 offers better control over the printed output; including the ability to scale the document to fit paper size.

Risk Analysis

The Control 2008 risk analysis tools allow planners to evaluate schedule feasibility. This allows users to define risk parameters for Tasks and resources. Running a (Monte Carlo) risk simulation then uses statistical methods to evaluate the likelihood of achieving a project’s due completion date, or selected milestones.

Procurements

The Procurement feature allows users to ensure that any prerequisites are completed before starting a Task. The Procurement schedule is automatically linked to the construction schedule through quantities. Procurement can also be used to drive the delivery of projects, as users can see the need times for each location and Task.

Micro Management

Micromanagement allows users to create current schedule plans that support the Master Schedule. The micromanagement tool can be used to make more detailed and accurate Tasks, create weekly Task plans, plan control action when project is deviating from the original plan, and add new items to a plan.

Cost & Cash Flow

The Control 2008 cost features enable users to plan and control the cash flow of their projects. It also allows comparisons between schedule versions to assess the cost effects of different implementation alternatives.

Link to Other Virtual Construction Products

Control 2008 is seamlessly linked to other Virtual Construction™ products enabling the user to gain the full benefit of the accurate quantities extracted from the model, and from cost data extracted from the estimate. The schedule data can then be exported to Vico Software 5D Presenter™, where users can visualize the construction project and examine in a 3D environment how the different trades will be working.Creation of Crews Automatically From the Quantity DataVico Control 2008 saves time and effort by automatically populating and synchronizing Task crews from quantities that contain Resources (i.e. labor or equipment inputs). The same Resources that are used in Recipes are now also used in crews (making the process more transparent). Resource usage can be exported back to Vico Software Estimator™.

Links to Other Scheduling Applications

Vico Control 2008 offers the option to both import and export schedule data in MPX and CSV forms. This enables smoother communication with other scheduling tools and the creation of location-based schedules using traditional formats.

Clearly present and communicate Tasks. Using the LBS you can freely sort the display order of locations in Flowline including “mixing” locations. This feature prevents visual Task splitting in Flowline and simplifies the schedule structure.

Gantt Chart View
With the enhanced Gantt chart view, you can be productive from day one. Report your schedule and communicate with your team using a traditional Gantt chart.

Task creation in Gantt Chart
Tasks can be easily created in a Gantt chart by writing to the grid or copy/pasting from Excel. Task name, code, duration, and start and end times can be pasted. Quickly create schedules with standard naming, by just copying them from Excel.

Editable Hierarchy Structure in Gantt
The Editable Hierarchy Structure supports more accurate Gantt chart reporting and presents information in the most suitable format. With the new Hierarchy feature you can show “Location first”,” Task criticality”, and “Task Status”.

Filter Accuracy of Shown Tasks
Using the new hierarchy structure function, users can filter the accuracy of shown Tasks and adjust the level of detail to the target audience. Tasks can be planned to a very accurate degree, but still presented on a less granular level.

Dependency Network
Illustrate the program logic in the network view and add any required dependencies between Tasks. Dependencies can be also created and viewed in the Gantt chart and Flowline views.

Bill-of-Quantities
When creating quantity-based schedules, you can edit or report quantities with the Bill-of-Quantities view

Resource Histogram
The Resource histogram allows you to examine how labor and materials are used throughout a project. You can use this information to drive procurement and assess the feasibility of your schedule plan. The Resource Histogram can also be used to track project progress and to compare the baseline plan for usage of material or labor to actual or forecasted usage.

Location-specific Crew Count

This new feature helps keep the schedule clean and readable. The Control 2008 Location-specific crew count lets you change the number of crews in each location without splitting the Task

User Interface Enhancements

Vico Control’s new UI provide an easy-to-learn, easy-to-use environment. New toolbars give faster access to the most frequently used functions and accelerate the workflow. Toolbars can be docked to screen edges, or float on top of the views. Unused buttons can be hidden.

Printing

Control 2008 offers better control over the printed output; including the ability to scale the document to fit paper size.

Risk Analysis

The Control 2008 risk analysis tools allow planners to evaluate schedule feasibility. This allows users to define risk parameters for Tasks and resources. Running a (Monte Carlo) risk simulation then uses statistical methods to evaluate the likelihood of achieving a project’s due completion date, or selected milestones.

Procurements

The Procurement feature allows users to ensure that any prerequisites are completed before starting a Task. The Procurement schedule is automatically linked to the construction schedule through quantities. Procurement can also be used to drive the delivery of projects, as users can see the need times for each location and Task.

Micro Management

Micromanagement allows users to create current schedule plans that support the Master Schedule. The micromanagement tool can be used to make more detailed and accurate Tasks, create weekly Task plans, plan control action when project is deviating from the original plan, and add new items to a plan.

Cost & Cash Flow

The Control 2008 cost features enable users to plan and control the cash flow of their projects. It also allows comparisons between schedule versions to assess the cost effects of different implementation alternatives.

Link to Other Virtual Construction Products

Control 2008 is seamlessly linked to other Virtual Construction™ products enabling the user to gain the full benefit of the accurate quantities extracted from the model, and from cost data extracted from the estimate. The schedule data can then be exported to Vico Software 5D Presenter™, where users can visualize the construction project and examine in a 3D environment how the different trades will be working.Creation of Crews Automatically From the Quantity DataVico Control 2008 saves time and effort by automatically populating and synchronizing Task crews from quantities that contain Resources (i.e. labor or equipment inputs). The same Resources that are used in Recipes are now also used in crews (making the process more transparent). Resource usage can be exported back to Vico Software Estimator™.

Links to Other Scheduling Applications

Vico Control 2008 offers the option to both import and export schedule data in MPX and CSV forms. This enables smoother communication with other scheduling tools and the creation of location-based schedules using traditional formats.
