How BCS Access Works

Project Dashboard

A quick snapshot of your project details, providing a summarised entry of all aspects of your project.

Creating a quote

BCS Design+Energy allows the user to create a quote for a project through the BCS dashboard. By simply filling in the set requirements, adding your own service categories, listing your stages of work and/or items for the project, you can then generate a quote document. The document can then be further edited using your desktop Word. Once finished editing the document, a polished PDF file of the quote document will be generated complete with authorised signatures.

Document Management System

The BCS document management system is an online generation and retrieval system. This system validates templates and documents using Microsoft Word. All project information is managed in the one platform to keep track of all data and documents. Before a project document or inspection is finalised users can use the Document Management System to customise new or existing company specific templates or project documents. Using Microsoft Word, default templates and documents can be replaced with the customised documents, complete with company logo and authorised signature. All data is securely stored to the cloud which means that they are secure, instantly retrievable and accessible 24/7.

Pre-defined Work Stages

Your new system comes pre-configured* with the stages of work that you might complete. This allows you to break up your documentation, any attachments you might receive, checklists and your quotes into work stages applicable to each job. These stages of work can be pre-set in your quote based on the type of project performed making project configuration simple and efficient.

*these stages are editable by the system administration.

  • the design process such as site details, construction details, building details, etc..
