Construction Estimating Software is the Key to Making Money On Every Job! |
|
|
That’s a pretty bold statement. And, frankly, it’s probably a bit of
an exaggeration, but not by much. I’ll explain in a moment. First, let me ask you a question. Are you making money consistently on your jobs? Are you sometimes use the cash from the current job (like too many contractors) to pay the bills on the last job? If so, this is one of the most important concepts you’ll ever read. |

Construction estimating software is really the starting point for you to make
money on all your jobs. That’s because it’s easier to create measurable
estimates time after time than it is to do them by hand. When you’re estimating
by hand, either on a form or on the back of an envelope (I’ve seen contractors
do it and I’m sure you have too.) it’s much easier to guesstimate than it is to
estimate. What do I mean by that? Guesstimating is when you look at a wall (let’s call it a 2X4 stud interior wall with drywall on both sides) and whether it’s 10 feet long or 15 feet long your guesstimate Or eye ball estimate) is that it will take about a day to do it. The problem is that’s not measurable. When you finish the job you can’t measure the result. That’s why construction estimating software is superior (or at least software that’s well written) because you’re estimating by units. |
this is ten and I don't care because it's going to be replaced here shortly

For example, the 2X4 wall might have a labor production rate of 1
foot per hour. So in the case of the 10 foot wall you’re going to
have estimated labor of 10 hours and 15 hours for the 15 foot wall.
That’s measurable. |
