the On-Line Reference Library.ROLE OF THE FIELD ENGINEER IN SAFETY
The Piping or Mechanical Field Engineer is a direct contributor to the safety of the work operations at the construction site. Since all safe work operations must begin with preplanning, the Field Engineer makes a direct contribution to safety by reviewing the planned work with safety in mind. The Field Engineer is typically responsible to develop a detailed work package for work planned by the Superintendent, verify the required materials are available and obtain the required permits to perform the work. The following specific types of questions might be asked by the Field Engineer to ensure the work can be done safely:
- How will the materials get to the work location? Can preassembly be done to avoid performing work in tight or cramped quarters?
- Does the work require the use of hazardous materials? Are MSDS sheets available at the site for all materials that are required to be used?
- Have all the required permits (e.g. confined space entry permits) been obtained to allow the work to be performed? Are there any special requirements that supervision or the craft need to be aware of prior to starting the work?
- Have all special equipment tagging requirements been satisfied?
- Are all the required materials available on the site? Have the materials been inspected for damage or flaws that might cause injury during installation?
- Has a thorough review for potential underground obstructions such as existing utilities, energized electrical cables and process lines been performed prior to authorizing the work to proceed?
- Is the proposed work site free of potential fire hazards? Is the housekeeping adequate?
- Are trenches or excavations adequately sloped or shored? Is a special shoring design required due to the depth or location of the excavation or trench?
- Have required rigging plans been prepared and approved? Have the requirements of the approved rigging plan been reviewed with the craft who will perform the work?
- Is the scaffolding required to perform the work properly erected? Is a special scaffold design required to access the work location?

QuoteSoft Ductwork Estimating Software
No two ductwork contractors are exactly alike – and QuoteSoft Duct is the only Cloud connected solution, customized to fit your every need. QuoteSoft estimating software is a powerful software solution for ductwork and HVAC contractors who need a simple to use tool to estimate labor hours and material costs for ductwork, pipe, and fittings.
QuoteSoft Duct is designed for the needs of commercial and industrial sheet metal ductwork contractors, who need a fast and accurate tool to calculate fabrication, installation, and material costs. QuoteSoft estimating software automatically calculates your labor hour and material costs for rectangular, round, and oval ductwork, accessories, and HVAC equipment.
Preparing accurate takeoffs requires a tremendous amount of knowledge, formulas, materials, specifications, labor rates, and factors. Finding people with the right skills is not easy. QuoteSoft Duct offers an alternative. By customizing QuoteSoft with the knowledge of your senior estimators into company-standard data tables, takeoff can be done by part-time or entry-level estimators and or project managers and your senior staff can focus on working the crucial takeoffs that will ensure winning profitable jobs and improving the bottom line.
QuoteSoft has available SMACNA specifications and standard labor times, which is modified for any type of duct system. Custom specifications are programmed to match your company’s standards for duct construction during your installation and training, and can be set up with allowances for purchased ductwork, spiral pipe, and fittings.
QuoteSoft Duct Estimating Software performs your takeoffs directly from plans on your computer screen, QuoteSoft supports a wide variety of popular CAD Drawing formats including PDF, BMP, iSQFT, Dodge Plans, JPEG, TIF, GIF, and hundreds of others.
QuoteSoft takeoff automatically calculates all metal pounds, costs, square feet, liner, equipment costs, shop and field labor with a single click. With QuoteSoft duct estimating software all values are instantly available during takeoff, including the ability to override the standard hours and dollars and insert custom values. This means no more wondering what’s going into your bid. QuoteSoft is the ONLY PROGRAM that makes it easy to be comfortable with your numbers right away because you can see and override all data going into your bid during takeoff.

Estimating can be a daunting task. Luckily, programs like Microsoft Excel can make adding up your material and labor simple. While Excel can input a simple takeoff, it can’t automatically arrange items into groups and specifications for a streamlined takeoff of duct, fittings, or equipment. With just a few clicks QuoteSoft sends a complete marked up takeoff into your Excel sheet with details like size, labor hours, material cost, and type of item included.
Whether you’re using Excel spreadsheets, another estimating program, or preparing estimates by hand, you’ll find QuoteSoft estimating software easy to use. Designed by contractors for contractors, QuoteSoft estimating software works the way you do. Suddenly, takeoff and estimating becomes faster and even easier for everyone, from estimators, project managers to support staff. Keep Excel for its strength — the final estimate summary— and let QuoteSoft take care of the rest.
