Example estimate

Rolled into one cost.

  • Own work

    Welding and assembly, at your hours and rate.

  • Bought parts

    From your own purchase list. A missing price stays open.

  • Nothing twice

    Every part counts once.

Where the welding hours go.

  1. Seam and throat.

    Seam length, throat size and position set the welding time.

  2. Tacking.

    A one-off rarely gets its own jig, so tacking and aligning take time.

  3. Distortion.

    If it must hold tolerance afterwards, straightening belongs in the price.

The next cost model on the same requirements and machines.

Underneath Blake sits Subduxion’s manufacturing world model: how a part, its requirements, your machines and your team’s decisions fit together. The cost model for this process is built on the same requirements and machines.

  • Model, drawing and requirements are already in place, part by part.
  • Next: time and price for this process from the same requirements, on your own machines.
  • The machined parts in the same request are already estimated.

Frequently asked questions

Can Blake estimate a weldment or assembly?

Yes, Blake rolls an assembly up from its parts: machined parts with their estimate, bought parts and outsourced work, and your welding and assembly hours at your own rate.

Does Blake calculate welding time?

You record welding and assembly work with your own hours and rate, and Blake adds them up in the assembly. Next comes a welding time model: welding time from seam length, throat size and welding position.

What happens when a bought part’s price is missing?

The line stays open until someone fills in the price. A missing price never counts as zero, and the assembly shows that it is incomplete.

How does Blake keep a part from being counted twice?

The assembly adds up the estimates of its parts. A machined part brings its own estimate, so nothing is priced twice.
