construction estimating software screen shot

Professional multi-trade estimating software for contractors. Designed to cut estimating time, present professional tender bids and quotes winning you more business.

Material lists and schedule of rates are instantly available along with management reports on costs, times and profits.

See all your project costs and use the flexible mark-up system to fine tune profits and selling prices quickly, replacing guess work with informed decisions.

Based on our highly successful electrical estimating software and adapted for contractors of all construction trades with an area and volume calculator to speed material input.

A database of materials for use with projects can either be compiled as you work, or we can create a custom database for you. Either way the choice of materials used will be yours, completely independent of any "sponsors". If you have a suitable list of materials and are interested in a custom database contact us to discuss your requirements.

We offer single and multi-user software, which can be purchased or rented - both with free training videos and free technical support.

Time savings pay for the software quickly. Plus, you will have more time for other tasks, or maybe yourself if you are working evenings and weekends.

The Multi-Trade software integrate with our other contractor modules Enquiry & Contact Logging, Job Costing, Service Maintenance, Invoicing and Viper - for interim invoicing & retention control for complete project control and can be added at any future stage.

Multi-Trade Construction Plan Takeoff Software

Construction Plan Takeoff Software

If you take-off from PDF drawings save additional time and take-off direct from drawing images on screen. Linear runs, drops, rises, items and areas (square or cubic) can all be measured.

Multiple plans may be imported into projects and each plan may contain multiple sections, providing individual containers for ground works, carpentry work, brickwork, hvp, etc on each drawing.

Reports for consolidated material quantities, costs and time are available along with drawing image reports. Compiled material lists can be imported into the estimating module.

Auto calibration for ISO A4-A0, ANSI A-E and Architectural A-E is built in. Other sizes and unscaled drawings can be calibrated against know measurements to set the scale.
