Sterling revolutionizes Cost & Carbon planning, measurement, estimating, forecasting and life cycle for any construction & engineering project.

Here’s why Sterling is the ultimate game-changer:

Cloud-Based Accessibility: Access your estimates anytime, anywhere, and collaborate with your team in real-time.
Comprehensive Estimating: Seamlessly integrate cost and carbon estimates to make informed, sustainable decisions.
Automatic Product Updates: Always use the latest features and tools without the hassle of manual updates.
Scalable Solution: Whether your project is big or small, Sterling SaaS adapts and grows to meet your needs.

Sterling’s seamless integration with Microsoft SharePoint enables construction professionals to download drawings and models directly into Sterling’s Take-Off module for both 2D and 3D take-off. Whether you’re working with PDF, DWG, IFC, RVT and other files, this integration eliminates the need for manual transfers and keeps your project documents centralised and easily accessible. By connecting SharePoint to Sterling, users can streamline their workflow, improve efficiency, and reduce errors, ensuring accurate cost and carbon estimates every step of the way.

Who Benefits:

This integration is designed for construction estimators, project managers, and BIM coordinators who rely on accurate take-off for cost planning and carbon estimating. Teams looking to simplify collaboration between document management and estimating workflows will particularly benefit from this tool.

Managing and transferring project files manually between platforms is time-consuming, prone to errors, and disrupts the estimating workflow. The Sterling and SharePoint integration addresses this by allowing users to directly access and import their drawings and models into the Sterling platform without extra steps. This ensures that project documents are kept up-to-date, improving accuracy in estimating and saving time during the pre-construction phase.

Sterling Modules

CORE - Cost & Carbon Estimating: Users benefit from estimating cost & carbon down to the granular resource level needed for transparency and to hold the supply chain accountable for delivery.

Delivering centralised libraries including:

Cost Items
Resources (Labour, Plant, Materials, Sub-Contract, Other Rates)
Multiple Industry recognizable breakdown structures (NRM, ICMS etc.)
Project Work Breakdown Structures
Take-Off: Tools for extracting dimensions/quantities from 2D drawings and 3D BIMs.
Finalization Sheet: Add primary and secondary mark-ups for margin, risk, overheads, inflation etc.
Flexible reporting
API capability

PACKAGE MANAGER - Pre-construction module aimed at Estimators seeking to move cost items to work packages before going to the market for pricing.

Ability to create & send out multi-level work packages to bidders, review and compare submitted bids and incorporate preferred bid values into the cost plan for cost and carbon.

Bidders can view and review all related documents, drawings, and models in an Enquiry package before adding their pricing, carbon values, adjustments and supporting documentation before submitting their bid via Sterling.

LIFECYCLE - This module looks beyond Capital expense into the Lifecycle and is aligned with NRM3/ICMS for cost and/or carbon.

Using this module's CROME methodology will allow users to ensure their proposal is not only the best value for money and carbon today but also the best value over the asset life.
