According to our work philosophy and in order
to meet industry demands, DECISA has implemented
a work system that interconnects all functional
areas and optimizes the use of resources among
the different departments.
For that reason we continuously invest in
information systems and productive resources.
Today DECISA enjoys an efficient organization,
capable of adapting to the changes demanded
by our customers, by the market and by our
industry.
| Integrated
Management and Control System |
DECISA has state-of-the-art information systems
adapted to the demands of our line of business,
and additionally meets the international regulations
dealing with construction (NIC).
The Exactus system,
an important administrative and financial tool,
is one example of this.
Our internal processes
and administrative control mechanisms have
been strengthened thanks to this tool, bringing
about such benefits as:
|
• |
Interconnection
and correlation of the different operating
areas in the organization. |
• |
Automated and continuous
data update to support the best decision-making.
|
• |
Reduction of data entry
time by means of field digitization. |
• |
On-line cost control.
|
• |
Reports customized to
different uses according to our customer’s
needs and to our own internal demands. |
Our operations are based on an integrated management
system organized by modules, among them:
|
• |
Resource

|
• |
Payroll

By using Exactus in
the organization, decision-making has become
much more streamlined and timely, and it is
much easier to control our clients resources
and budgets.
| Quantification
- Accuracy - Logistics - Feedback |
We
are at the forefront of cost estimate systems
and procedures thanks to extensive investigation
to find the best tools available in the construction
industry. A significant effort has been made
to acquire, adapt and fine-tune the “PRECISION
ESTIMATING” software, by the globally
renown software company “TIMBERLINE.”
Worldwide, considered the most sophisticated
and accurate leading tool to estimate and calculate
construction budgets. Our firm is proud to use
this software and makes it available to our
clients.
This technology allows
to better manage quantification time, study
alternatives in greater detail, and make market
price adjustments in a reasonably short time
so that our proposals reflect the most updated
prices of materials, tools, equipment, accessories
and other services, as well as the construction
logistics that best suit the timely execution
of any work.
Our team of experts in cost estimating currently
uses:

Furthermore, the company database, solely based
on parameters from the construction activity,
has a complete set of ensembles for architectural
works in the Costa Rican market. Prices are
tailored to each province in the country. Feedback
flows more easily from our projects to our headquarters,
and even to our budgets, including labor, materials,
equipment and sub-contracts.

MECSA
was created in 1993 to fill the growing need
that DECISA projects had for construction equipment.
Initially, MECSA provided 100% of its services
to DECISA, but now also serves other construction
companies throughout the country. This has been
possible because of the company’s determination
to expand its customer portfolio by offering
quality equipment, timely service and competitive
prices.
Our efforts are currently focused on becoming
important players in the construction equipment
rental market. We have made a significant investment
in new equipment and in powerful financial-administrative
software to more efficiently control our operations.
Our Company has participated in important real
estate development projects, among them: Condados
de Country, Residence Club - Four Season Hotel
& Resort, Puerta de Hierro Residential Area,
Hacienda La Garita, Hotel Grand Papagayo, Condados
del Palacio, etc.
