What has our attention
Successful home construction pros stay competitive by mastering the art of bidding to bring in their share of work.
How you estimate and conduct your project management can affect the accuracy of the budget for construction costs and that budget can reveal as early as possible if the job will deliver a satisfactory result for the homeowner and turn a profit for you, the builder.
A construction estimate is the most crucial part of winning building jobs and is key to any successful project completion.
Takeoff estimating, or a material takeoff is an integral part of the construction estimating process.
A quantity takeoff is an important aspect to any project that has a budget or for making project bids. Without accurate quantity takeoff software, you could find your project under budget - costing you money, or over budget - losing you work.
