Company Profile

Three Keys Software was set up in 1992 with a view to creating a more cost effective and efficient means of producing consistently accurate estimates for use in the Construction Industry.

Over a three year period some 10,000 detailed rate build-ups were produced covering the Structural and Finishing trades. Feedback from Clients saw the need for additional rates and over the next three years the number of rates increased to approximately 12,000 and all were converted to the new Windows version of the Buildsoft 'Global Estimating package'.

In The Beginning: It was after many years employed as a Chief Estimator, and then Estimating Manager, with various major Australian and International Construction Companies, spending thousands of countless hours building up rate after rate, that I decided there had to be a more cost effective and efficient way of pricing projects while still being able to compete in the market place.

Using my knowledge gained over almost 30 years, 25 years of which was in Estimating and using 'Buildsoft's unique estimating program', I slowly began to Computerise my rates into a workable model which all Estimators could use.

Because all rates are built up in detail and allow the end user to change production levels, waste factors, and profit margins, these rates are not limited to a specific country but can be used World-wide.

NEW SOFTWARE LAUNCHED TO BENEFIT BUILDING INDUSTRY

Three Keys Software Pty Limited has just launched its new 'Windows Version' database of Composite Rate Files for Building Estimators and Quantity Surveyors. Michael Richardson MP, Member for The Hills, NSW, congratulated local entrepreneur, Trevor Moseley, today on the culmination of many years work to produce the interactive database. “The database works inside Buildsoft's Global Estimating Program and can speed up the estimating process while still giving the accuracy required for competitive, accurate tendering. This will be a much needed boon for Building Estimators worldwide”, Mr Richardson said.

 

Three Keys Software Pty Limited would like to thank all the Staff and Directors of Buildsoft for their support over the last 6 years. For providing programming solutions and support to improve the functionability and use of this database. Special thanks go to Jim and Jackie, not forgetting Wing (programmer extraordinaire) for their patience and understanding.
