Cleopatra Enterprise


> Fast and accurate estimating> Estimate your whole project life cycle (design, build,

maintain) in one system;

> Class 4 (40%), Class 3 (20%), Class 2 (10%) in one package

> Gradual increase of accuracy (Class 3½, Class 2½)

> Closing the loop: analyze benchmarks in class 2 estimates as input for class 4 estimates.

> Use standard cost data based on DACE Labour Norms or other 3rd party sources

> Interface with other software tools (3D, planning) to increase efficiency
