The Tracks system is made for builders, draftspeople and in fact anyone who is part of the building trade and needs to produce drawings. The system has been designed for practical application and the following characteristics ensure optimum functionality:

a 'smart' system of drawing quick and easy operation accurate construction and quantities affordable purchase structure

The Tracks system has a key concept that transforms the process of drawing into ‘smart’creation. Rather than merely constructing pictures, Tracks is based on the concept of virtual construction. Instead of just drawing lines, Tracks virtually constructs the components that you add to the drawing. By the time the floor plan is produced, Tracks has gathered all the information required on building materials, wall properties, roof structure etc to produce quantities, cutting lists, elevations and dimensions. This data can even be exported to an estimation program for complete job costing and project management.

Add to this the many automated Tracks features, the flexibility of Tracks in terms of customisation capabilities and its open architecture that allows for communication with other software packages and what do you have? One smart drawing system!

Many CAD software systems are designed primarily for large engineering and architectural firms. These programs can be used for smaller building projects, however not only are they expensive, but they are also very complex and consquently difficult to learn and use. Most people in the building industry want a CAD package that will stream-line their company, not complicate it!

Tracks aims at being ‘builder friendly’. This means it is designed for people who do not want to devote hours and hours to becoming computer experts, instead Tracks is easy to use and requires minimal commitment before drawing becomes productive.

Additionally, because of its smart functionality, Tracks will reduce the time that you will need to spend drawing and then quantity takeoff becomes a simple click of a button.

In today’s tight market it is essential that the builder knows exactly what a job is going to cost when quoting. Gone are the days of a rough total with a healthy error margin ‘just to be sure’.

Tracks is designed to calculate each component of the building exactly. Because of the importance of ‘real life’ accuracy, Tracks does not rely on a digitised image where input discrepancies lead to inaccurate image. Instead, every input and calculation harnesses the mathematical processing capabilities of your computer to get it right - every time.

The CAD Market tends to provide a situation of two extremes. On one side there is CAD software that caters for the high flyers - expensive and complex; on the other side is the ‘weekender’ CAD program - provides neat drawings but really offers nothing more than ‘a glorified drawing board’.

Tracks provides the best of both worlds. The processing capability makes Tracks a serious contender in the market, with industry standard production, while the price tag brings the system into a range of most participants in the industry. Additionally, the modular nature of Tracks means that you can purchase the system as you need it and as you can afford it.
