Cost
estimating software assists estimate remodeling contractors calculate material
and labour costs and produce detailed remodeling proposals. As competition for
projects continues to increase and more contractors are pressured to deliver
fixed-bid work, buyers are adopting modern construction estimating systems,
including Web-based systems, to deliver accurate and professional proposals.
At the same time, owners are using these systems to create their
own home remodeling estimates and double check the accuracy of project bids
they receive. When we speak to residential contractors, the two primary
criteria they have for estimating systems are: 1) that it be easy to use; and,
2) that it is affordable.
There are a number of systems that meet these criteria, but they
vary in their feature breadth and sophistication. Below is a table of the top
core modules you should look for as you evaluate home estimating software.
