About
Tracks
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
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!
Quick and easy
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.
Accurate
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.
Affordable
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.
