A project template is not very useful for generating estimates based upon quantities or dimensions (such as piping replacement).

A dynamic estimating module is ideal for generating estimates based upon quantities or dimensions (such as piping replacement).

A project template usually encompasses only a few possible scenarios.

A dynamic estimating module encompasses almost all possible scenarios.

A project template must be manually edited before every use (adding or deleting sections of tasks as required):

1. time consuming
2. requires planner to adjust project scheduling logic

Dynamic generation every use:

1. fast
2. computer generates clean project scheduling logic

A project template is tied to a specific project scheduling platform.

A dynamic estimating module is useable with a range of project scheduling platforms.

A project template encapsulates estimating norms for work that is routine, steady.

A dynamic estimating module facilitates the use of estimating norms for routine work (both steady and variable) and non-routine work.

For Contractors -> A project template must be manually edited to account for regional differences in productivity or resource nomenclature.

For Contractors -> A dynamic estimating module easily adjusts estimates and resource definitions for regional differences in productivity or resource nomenclature.
