Establishing your particular shop environment, equipment, material handling capabilities, and machine rates is a snap using the easy yet comprehensive setup screens. You can customize the way the program works, its input screens, its browse screens and your output reports directly from a menu.
estimator- A few keystrokes conforms Estimator to calculate freight based on your normal extension method.
- Paint estimates are based on square footage and coverage factors.
- Shipping pieces are counted for erection estimating.
- Material prices can be extended based on values that you have stored in the four warehouse and mill price flies.
- Labor is generated using simulated shop routings and rates duplicating the way you would build it.
Fast and Accurate Takeoffs
