Takshy for Estimators.
Speed and accuracy are your two operating constraints, and they often work against each other. Takshy automates the parts of the estimating process that don't require your expertise, so you can focus on the judgement calls that do.
What estimators deal with every day.
Tender turnaround is too fast for proper analysis
Tender periods are rarely long enough. The time you want to spend analysing design intent and risk gets eaten by scope extraction and sub quote chasing.
Sub quotes arrive at the last minute
Subcontractors respond at deadline. By the time you have all the returns, you have hours to build the estimate. Rushing the analysis leads to errors that cost the business money.
Historical rates are hard to access
You know roughly what electrical fit-out costs per square metre in a given building type. But getting to that number reliably means digging through old tender files and hoping previous estimates were structured the same way.
Inconsistent sub quote formats
Every sub has a different way of presenting their price. Working out what's actually included, and whether a cheaper number is really cheaper, takes significant time and expertise.
How Takshy helps estimators.
Scope extraction from day one
As soon as tender documents arrive, Takshy starts extracting and structuring scope. You get a draft breakdown immediately, freeing you to focus on design analysis and risk.
Earlier sub engagement
Because RFQs go out faster, subs have more time to price. Better-considered sub quotes mean more reliable coverage and less last-minute scramble.
Historical rate access
Takshy builds a record of every trade, every quote, and every award across your project portfolio, so rate comparison becomes a database query, not an archaeology project.
Structured return comparison
Incoming sub quotes are parsed and structured for comparison. See at a glance what each sub has and hasn't included, and focus your analysis on the gaps, not the formatting.
