COST CONTROL OPERATIONS ENGINEERS RELY ON IT

TONY O'CONNOR, Senior Cost Engineer /Project Controller from JACOBS Engineering, Ireland, started working in Cost Engineering in 1962 with the petrochemical industry and has used CCFPro since 1993 for large manufacturing plant construction projects worldwide, and has this to say,

    "In 1962 project engineering was done with pencil and paper, and with a slide rule. I don't know how we did it back then, when I look back and I think about it, how did we do it? I think we bluffed our way through. Back then money was not a problem; scheduling was the only issue. In the '60s Cost Control was not an accurate science. You didn't know where you came from, you didn't know where you were, and you kind-of-knew where you were going.

    In 1993, The number one microelectronics company in the world brought Miguel F. Sarria onto the site and I think he had the first Cost Control system I had seen that had meaningful data. This company brought sophistication to cost control and CCFPro was able to integrate this sophistication. I have used CCFPro since 1993 with great success. In regards to commitment, forecasting and budget control it is an excellent tool. It made life very easy for me.

    Savings are the result of being able to have a handle on accurate real-time cost information on a daily basis. It took me two days to learn and understand CCFPro. The cost control principles are there. It has excellent multi-currency capabilities and has been very reliable through the years; never a problem. Multiple users worked fine and the export capabilities to Excel were very handy. It worked brilliantly well for me.

    In 1998, I worked solo on a $50 million dollar project in Cork, Ireland. CCFPro was my tool of choice for project management and it was so helpful. I did not have to wait to the end of the month to figure out where I was with my costs. I knew on a day to day basis where my project stood at any one time.

    I used CCFPro with the biggest Bio-Pharmaceutical project in Ireland, with a budget of over $2.3 billion dollars. Anita McDermott took over the administration for this project. The CCFPro support was superb from cradle to grave. It worked brilliantly. You need to know where you were, where you are at, and where you are going. CCFPro does all this.

    I could take CCFPro and manage any $500 million dollar project by myself. CCFPro adds value to project management. I would not like to be without CCFPro."

    "We are a niche construction management firm that specializes in cost control and forecasting. Not so long ago the industry was only recording costs, but now CCFPro gives us real-time visibility to control costs as opposed to simply recording costs. CCFPro is a positive part of the current construction management evolution.

    CCFPro is used by The Number One Microelectronics Company in the World which is one of the most advanced in cost management technology today. They use this program because it is on the cutting edge of advancement in cost control.

    CCFPro gives you the ability to forecast items that have not yet occurred, manage information in great detail reporting it in a clear format showing the variance required to manage projects properly. The benefit of this control is that the project team can review the forecast to find alternative solutions to avoid extra costs by revising the schedule, changing materials, modifying design or other options. CCFPro is an excellent tool, their support has been very responsive on past projects, and we are currently rolling it out in Ireland, Israel, China, California, Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona, and Cambridge, Massachusetts.

    CCFPro can also be utilized to manage on-going facilities maintenance projects like tool install or even to simply control a facilities budget. For example: hospital tool renewal projects, cafeteria services, cleaning services, landscaping, or snow plowing.

    We have found that investing in CCFPro insures that no matter who inputs data or oversees project cost the program will provide valid information on a day-to-day basis. As an owner who cares about monitoring costs, this is a solid insurance program giving me the ability to make informed and therefore cost effective decisions.

    CCFPro is a must-have program."

    "It's my single point of entry for an entire project. Every financial detail I need to know about a specific project is right in CCFPro; from original budget to revised budgets, forecasting, change of scope, commitments, spends, payments, invoices, vendor information, scheduled dates, payment dates etc. Everything is kept right in the one system which saves me a great deal of time.

    It's a great forecasting tool, as it gives me an accurate up to the moment snapshot of my budget, my costs and what I have yet to spend at any point in my projects. Instantly I can get a report that's up to date, with live (real time) data generating a timely forecast. Multiple users can conveniently enter information into the system, and it's a good step-by-step system which keeps user errors to a minimum.

    For Every situation or process you are in, there are a lot of prompt screens that literally tell you what you need to do so you won't make a mistake. I think the reporting is great; there is even more reports than you need; a ton of options to choose from to meet my needs.

    It's reliable. I've never had a system crash or had to start from scratch because of lost data during the years I've used it."
