No-more endless lists of items that aren’t applicable. Want to save even more time? Produce detailed estimates in half the time with custom-built assemblies.
Integrations
Frustrated with continually adjusting reports and graphic displays and not getting the results you want? We’ll make it easy for you by designing custom reports based on your exact specifications. Custom estimating reports can produce bid-ready documents or effective analysis tools. Whether you are looking for estimate specific reports or big-picture database-wide analytics, we can create it.
Customized Reports
Save hundreds of Project Management and clerical hours per year! We assign your cost codes to your estimating database items, automatically producing the project budget for Project Manager’s review. Following any adjustments by the PM, the estimate is imported into your Jobcost accounting system. (Viewpoint, Sage, and Spectrum accounting systems to name a few).
