In the automotive industry, there is no common approach for calculating and quoting project. Each company, every company branch, division or even project team uses its own, homemade methods and tools, mostly simply taking Excel sheets.
In some other industries common cost estimating methods have long been established. The most advanced methods are used in the European construction industry. They have:
- A common catalogue of services, where the cost of each service is defined in abstract “points”.
- Qualified cost engineers who prepare the estimations.
- Calculation software based on the common methods and common service cost catalogues.
The MAXAR2 Procal is a cloud-based, mutli-user and multi-tenant service. It uses many of the concepts that have been proved in the construction industry. It is a step towards more reliable and simpler project calculation in the automotive industry. Of course, it can be used in any other industry and for any project type.
