AEC Budget

AEC Budget is a budgeting software that allows companies to accurately estimate the resources required for a project, streamlining the planning process by integrating with Microsoft Project. Many companies currently rely on Government Standard Schedule of Rates (SSR) without considering the resources involved in a project, as calculating these can take weeks or even months. This method is both time-consuming and of little use when trying to manage a project efficiently.

AEC Budget solves this problem by allowing companies to input data about resources and their utilization, optimizing usage to achieve maximum efficiency. The tool is fully integrated with AEC-ERP as a core part of the major production and planning system, which enables the enterprise performing the project to have comprehensive budgetary controls established among other business functions.

The software has several key processes, including importing tasks with groups, quantities, and units from Excel or CSV files, using various methods of cost estimation based on previous projects, and assigning idle resources types available with the enterprise. In addition, it allows for hired machines to be factored into budgets as a second option.

AEC Budget also makes risk analysis easier, with tools that are simple to understand and make it easier to take informed decisions. The software has excellent reporting capabilities that comply with industry norms, making it an essential tool for project managers.

Finally, AEC Budget provides export and import to and from MS Project with synchronizing features, making it easy to collaborate and analyze schedules efficiently. With AEC Budget, companies can optimize their resources, achieve maximum efficiency, and complete projects within budget and timescale.
