That’s where the right software comes in. With the huge pressures builders face, you want your admin to be the easy part. Even down to whether the jobs you’re doing are profitable or not. That’s the mark of good estimating software. Make sure you have lists and reports for ordering materials. That automatically populates a Build Programme with the details of the job. So make sure your estimating software has project management tools as well. After all if you don’t buy at the price you quoted, if you end up extending the job through errors and late deliveries etc then your target profit will be whittled away. The money is in the management not the price you quote. The last you want are old prices.Įstimating shouldn’t just start and finish with the estimate and quotation. Fast estimating calculators are key, along with frequently updated material prices. As a builder or estimator, time is never on your side - so it also needs to be straightforward with zero obstacles. And you won’t want it to be a complex process. Crucially you have to be able to trust that the estimates and quotations will be accurate. So don’t go for the first one you come across! Whether you’re working on garage conversions, renovations, extensions, loft conversions or new builds it has to be the right fit for you - and ideally expandable. Your choice of estimating solution could be the difference between making a proper profit on your construction projects - or not.
