We are listening... when we updated the simple search engine, we decided to search both languages all the time. Results in the second language added a lot of search data to digest. The newly revised search form allows the user to turn off the multiple language searching. This change will be available for download soon.

Do you have a problem? Let us know about it. Submit your request, we take them seriously and we act on them.

New UPB Re-pricing Feature: The UPB pricing can now be modified in a very detailed manner. Groups of records can be identified by start and end values. The unit pricing can be increased or decreased on individual component values. An unlimited number of cost record groupings can be created.

We see this useful when you want to localize the UPB cost data using labor, material and equipment markup or markdown factors.

Alliance Announced

CorVet Systems is an authorized re-seller of RSMeans Construction Data and Unit Price Books. EuroJOC has been modified to allow usage of all RSMeans Unit Price Databases.

Advanced Search - Additions

Three New Operators have been added to the search grid on the UPB form; 1-Less Than or Equal, 2-Greater Than or Equal and 3-Between val1-val2. Addition of these new operators will reduce the number of condition rows needed.

The Field Selection column has been modified to display field descriptions in addition to the field names. You no longer need to refer to the manual to select the right field within a condition row.

Cost Compare Details

We have added a new details tab to the compare form. Similar items are summed into a single row on the the compare results tab. When you want to see all the details that make up a row of the comparison grid you can switch to this new tab. The first estimate will be displayed in the top grid and the second in the lower grid. This feature can be useful during negotiation meetings. A horizontal bar allows the owner's estimate to be hidden. More...

EuroJOC Demonstrations Due to web limitations and compression necessary to reduce file size, the video image is not sharp and perfect. The CDROM version has perfect resolution.

Advanced Search

We always knew we had a great simple search engine... well we just went hyper and gave you raw access to the SQL search engine. Using the grid you create search criteria and then when even that won't do, you can hand modify the SQL using the code inspector. The grid allows access to all the fields in the UPB. We believe that the advanced search engine can do it all and you don't have to be a programmer to use it. Nobody offers anything better.

Italian Version - UPB Flexibility

It is going to be hard to tell any difference but EuroJOC now has many new capabilities under the hood. The Unit Price Book is very flexible and can handle almost any cost coding system. The Item coding system can even vary amongst different sections of the unit price data.

EuroJOC can handle your unit price book no matter the complexity. EuroJOC can handle eleven title levels compared to six for the competition. This means almost unlimited flexibility and we are the only estimating system capable of storing item photographs and multiple languages.
