IT SKILLS

Potter Raper Partnership has highly developed networked IT systems in all of its offices and maintains its own Internet Website.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

We develop our own software for the larger projects, which require tailor-made solutions to suit our Clients' needs. These solutions have been developed using Visual Foxpro, Visual Basic and Visual Interdev and are hosted on the Practice Intranet. In particular, we have developed solutions for a variety of Measured Term Contracts, including Technical Audit Work.

E-MAIL

All our technical staff can be contacted directly through e-mail and can receive and send out documents in numerous file formats including Excel, Word, CITE and Autocad.

ESTIMATING, COST PLANNING AND COST MANAGEMENT

The Practice uses a combination of Buildsoft estimating and Excel for estimating and cost planning. This combination allows effective cost management solutions to be devised, which can be tailored to suit the Project and the Client.

TENDER DOCUMENT PRODUCTION

The Practice has been involved in construction industry applications of computer systems for many years. Tenders are produced using Buildsoft and Word. Tenders are available on disk through the CITE format.

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND FINAL ACCOUNT PRODUCTION

Excel and Word are used for reporting and final account production. These solutions can be devised quickly by customising previously developed templates from our library, or designed to suit the specific project.

DRAWING AND CAD

The Practice utilises Autocad software to meet any drawing and design requirements.
