Learn Best Practices for Building Contract Structure and Modular Estimates with ACCE


With over 30 years of experience Harvey Welker unites with AspenTech to deliver this Expert-Led Training class. From tomato soup to industrial wastewater, with stops at refineries and chemical plants in between, that is quite an estimating journey with ACCE!


Harvey is one of the most experienced ACCE experts and in this training, he will share several techniques and best practices to fully embrace the capabilities of ACCE, from simplifying the adoption into your organization, to advanced workflows to estimate detailed elements.​


The course will instruct the ACCE user how to effectively enter contractor indirects and best practice implementation of customer indirects and proratables

Agenda

CONTRACTS

 

The course will demonstrate how to organize areas for contract structure. Building engineering workforces and construction work forces will be reviewed. Instruction will include building work scopes (consets) and assigning work packages to the consets.

 

The course will instruct the ACCE user how to effectively enter contractor indirects and best practice implementation of customer indirects and proratables.

 

The presentation will demonstrate which ACCE output reports effectively present contractor costs

 

Detailed contract instruction will be followed by a hands-on workshop building an estimate for a project that includes pre-turnaround work and turnaround work.

 

 

MODULES

 

Detailed instruction will show how build process modules and rack modules. The attendees will learn how to create module areas.

 

The course will define the types of modules a user can create with ACCE. Detailed instruction will show how to define module costs and those costs unique to field installation of modules. The attendees will learn how to create the module contract structure (module vs field).

 

The instruction will include module shop indirects, engineering, shipping preparation and freight costs. 

 

The ACCE output reports that best show the costs and metrics for the modular estimate will be reviewed.

 

A workshop for building a module will follow the module instructions.

 

Topics:

 

  • Contractor Indirects
  • Customer Indirects and Proratables
  • Build a Contract Structure
  • Create Process Modules and Rack Modules
