Site progress should be as per defined logic
Material receipts, transfers, used and closing can be entered differentially for different materials
Auto fill equipments based on previous days equipments
Manpower and equipment registers
Resources can be billable to user or contractor
Payment vouchers based on invoices raised
Site notes register
Forecast
Generates forecast schedule based on site progress
Auto update purchase plan based on forecast schedule
Purchase Plan
Autogenerates purchase intents
Facilitates purchase plans
Inspections
Detailed measured stage inspection with inspection takeoff
Measurements can be period based or cumulative; calculations will be done at back end
Daily progress entered in site register will be reconciled based on inspection measurements
Physical stock verification register on all materials and plant
Invoicing purchase, hire and wages based on billable register transactions
Invoicing contract payments based on contract agreement
General invoice for non-plan expenses
Invoicing to client based on contract measurement
Invoice balances are maintained in system
Work Front
Permits linear, cyclic and parallel work fronts
Each work front can be quantified notationwise
Frontwise schedule is generated from the schedule logic and adapted accordingly
Works (BOQ)
WBS > Workgroup > Notations > Takeoff > Geometry
Parametric takeoff
Input from AutoCAD
Tracking parameter for reporting progress
Schedule
Workgroups can be scheduled
Forward scheduling only with quantity lag
Relations between works
Contract (Receivable & Payable)
Can assign scope of resources to contract
Can assign rates for contracts at activity level, work level, combination of works or project stages
Generates complete contract agreement
Contract payments can be deferred stagewise along with retentions
Resources
Has a unique classification of resources based on substitutability of equivalent resources
Classification system can be over-ridden by user
Credit Period and Procurement lead can be defined for each resource
Maintains Rate History
Takes Fixed, Purchase, Hire and Operating Costs
Can substitute a resource with another at design-time or real-time
Overtime and high-effort manpower are replaceable resources
Activities
Has a unique classification of activities based on substitutability of equivalent activities
Classification system can be over-ridden by user
Pre-populated rate analysis database for global construction industry
Minimum combinations of activities are used in design-time
Activities can be combined to form composite activities to fit generic construction scenario
Projects
Baselines of schedules can be created
Change orders can be saved on variation notes
Units
Can accept any units including user defined units
Unique Features
Materials, workforce, equipment, contracts, assembled products and semi-manufactured goods are treated differently for their different nature in project management, material management and accounts.
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS-BOQ) forms the backbone of project management. BAEVR permits BOQ of any desired level of accuracy and eliminates the need of manual approval system of intents and measurements. Reasonable BOQ lets the software track site intents, contractor payments, work optimization and change orders.
Simplified real-time scheduling and tracking (RTS & DRS) of site using a powerful feature called tracking parameter for quick measure of work plan and progress. Project schedule analysis and material reconciliation analysis is enabled by regular scheduling and tracking.
Contractual relationships can be defined for all type of contracts to finest details – daily-wage, item-rate, lump-sum, labour contract, general contract, turnkey contract, BOT types or other generic formats. Contractor agreement with scope and terms of payment are analytic and automated. Inventory of contractor is considered for project management but excluded for company inventory. Contractor quotations are automatically analysed against component prices.
Periodic Stage Inspections of site are made based on the BOQ and forms the basis for Work-in-progress in accounting. M-Books are written against stage inspections. M-Books cannot exceed stage measurements and stage measurements cannot exceed BOQ measurements. Thus, erratic measurements are eliminated and reconciliation of material consumption for works completed is possible.
Reports and Analysis in BAEVR is amazingly generic, customized and integrated across all modules and across entire organization. Bill of materials for projects, intents for schedules, what-if analysis of product cost variations, analysis of project performance for cost/schedule, material reconciliation analysis, contractor performance analysis, variance reports for change orders, parametric cost analysis, range estimation, equipment turnaround analysis, project cash flow schedules, value engineering reports, exception report for contingencies, recognized time analysis, construction log report, productivity summary and completion certification are examples of few reports/analysis available in BAEVR
