Concap Industries is located in Queensland, Australia, and has an
internet presence through the website concapindustries.com.au
The website is a product of the ongoing collaboration between
Concap Industries (Australia), Neurospaces Development
(Belgium), and Three Way Street (Australia).
We are committed to the collection of data and development of
algorithms that structure and support cost estimation in the
construction industry. This goal is achieved by our
state-of-the-art software applications that run in a web browser
on your PC, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone.
Currently, we have developed and made available online software
that supports calculation of all-in base net hourly rate wage
and salary costs for all 363 Trades, Earthmoving Plant
Operators and labourers, in the Australian Construction
Industry; relevant to the Fair Work Commission Consolidated
Modern Award MA000020, B.C.G.O.S. (Building & Construction
General On-Site) Award 2010, including all amendments up to and
including June of every year, for P.P.C. (Pay Period Commencing), on the following 1 July of that year.
This software is annually updated, on the 1 July, relative to the
Federal Award MA000020 and on the 1 March, relative to the
E.B.A. (Enterprise Bargain Agreement).
Please watch audio / video on-screen recording tutorial, on
YouTube, for end user instructions, in how to determine, the
Current All-in Base Net Hourly Rate, for Individual Wage,
Broad Estimate or Charge Out Applications, using Concap Industries
Web Site Based Software;
Australian Construction Industry Base Net Hourly Rate Estimating
Software.
This website is hosted by our European partner Neurospaces
Development on servers located in Belgium.
Nick's extensive career started at the age of sixteen in the
residential sector of the construction industry as an apprentice
carpenter and plasterer. He became a competent leading hand
tradesman--eventually becoming self-employed as a fitout
sub-contractor in the commercial sector of the construction
industry.
He has worked as a tradesman, leading hand
tradesman, self-employed sub-contractor, construction
supervisor, site manager, estimator, contract administrator,
construction manager, fitout and property development project
manager.
For the first ten years of his working life he
worked in the residential sector of the construction
industry. For the following thirty two years he worked in the
commercial and industrial sector of the construction
industry.
Nick has direct ``hands on'' experience from
sub-contract tender packaging, contract administration, site
establishment, to site supervision of civil earth works,
services, structure, finishes, through to building commissioning
and client delivery.
He is very experienced in property
development project management, and ``putting together and
heading up'' construction design teams.
Nick has sourced,
negotiated fee structures and commissioned architects, land
surveyors, geotechnical, civil and structural engineers,
services design engineers (hydraulics, electrical, fire
protection, mechanical air cooling and ventilation, elevator
installations), landscape design, traffic management and
acoustical design, town planning (local government design
negotiation consultants), lawyers, construction schedules
(programming consultants), quantity surveyors (cost
consultants), tender (bid) process, contract administration and
building certification.
Nick is also highly experienced
and capable in ``following up'' with actual on site construction
management and supervision.
Having reached the pinnacle of
the development and construction industry, Nick's goal is now to
formalize his knowledge, experience, and resources to develop
more objective and quantified construction estimating procedures
and outcomes. The ultimate aim: There is no construction project
for which Concap Industries Estimation Software could not
provide comprehensive cost estimates.
Nick believes there
is no such thing as a problem--only cost effective solutions in
a safe work environment.
Hugo obtained a degree in informatics at the University of Antwerp. Hugo brings over 20 years of software development experience to the Concap website. During his career he developed CAD software solutions for architects, implemented embedded systems for satellite communications that were used for broadcasting of the Olympic Games in Athens (2004) and for many years he was the principal architect and world-wide representative of one of the most widely used simulators in fundamental brain research.
The son of a CFO of a chain logistics and freight management company, Hugo has also been interested in accountancy and finances, general economy and the enterprise structure of innovative companies. Today, he is an entrepreneur incorporating his own company to bring new innovative software solutions to daily customers. Hugo manages software projects in sciences, the music industry and tourism.
Allan left school at the age of sixteen and soon afterwards
became a carpenter's labourer. This continued a family tradition
as both his father and grandfather before him had been carpenter
builders.
Two decades later, as a mature age student he
graduated from the John Curtin School of Medical Research with a
Ph.D. in Neuroscience. He then worked in the USA as a
computational neuroscientist. Initially at the Rockefeller
University in Manhattan and then with the Computational Biology
Initiative in San Antonio.
As an Assistant Professor he
developed use cases and documentation for the leading neuronal
simulation software platform GENESIS. During this time he
collaborated extensively with Hugo Cornelis.
More
recently, he has partnered with Hugo in a collaboration to
employ their skills for problem solving in Big Data, digital
publication, and distributed internet-based content management
systems.
With considerable experience in conceptual
design, interaction design, user interface and information
architecture, prototyping, and workflow specification
development, Allan brings a wealth of experience to the
development of Concap Industry's user friendly interactive
software experience.
In this current collaboration he is
responsible for the design and development of the graphic user
interface and workflows that bring the sophistication of the
Concap Industries web site to the internet.
