Multi-Trade Estimating Software

Multi-trade estimating software is for contractors or any industry that needs to price a component based process. It helps cut costing time, clarify estimated costs and time of a job and refine profit margins.

Consolidated material lists and schedule's of selling rates are instantly available along with management reports on material and labour costs, times and profit margins.

View your project costs and use the flexible "what if" mark-up system to fine tune profits and selling prices quickly. Replace guess work with informed decisions.

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 product 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 find you are working evenings and weekends.

The Multi-Trade software integrates with our other modules Enquiry & Contact Logging, Job Costing, Service Maintenance, Invoicing and Viper - for payment applications & retention control to provide complete project control.

View the Electrical Estimating video for an initial overview. The principles the same, just different materials. There is a short video below that shows the main area of difference, which should be viewed in conjunction with the main estimating video. Please contact us if you would like to explore the possibilities in more detail.

Multi-Trade 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.
