Although you cannot use a computer on a regular basis, the only spreadsheet you use is on your bed, do not stop reading this until you think about how much time you will spend on building construction costs.
Back when computers were not as popular as they are today, finding ratings for equipment or work usually took an hour every time you had to look for a price in a book. And the costs associated with obtaining a new edition of this book each year led to the fact that the whole process was almost not worth the time and money.
Using construction evaluation software, your time is reduced to how long it takes to turn on your computer, and click about 5 or 6 times. And the amount of information that you have at hand is far different as a whole library of appraisal books.
Some of the quick and easy tools that are included in the building evaluation software package include:
Actual prices for materials. The prices of materials in the building evaluation software are updated frequently.
Men and crews. All job evaluations include recommended team and typical man-hour rate for installation.
Calculators. Save yourself more time and use calculators to determine quantities for load-bearing walls, beam systems, concrete walls, etc.
Job Cost Wizard - turns the estimates and proposals into documents and exports them as a printer.
Other areas of the software include permissions, fees, customization, demolition, garbage disposal and repair.
It's amazing how many millions of companies still use Excel manual and paper or spreadsheets or small companies that use ridiculously complex programs that they struggle to learn and are too complicated for them. Your life will become much less difficult, you save the paper, and your time spent on assessing even large assignments will be reduced to a minimum.
In summary, time and money are two important considerations for any industry, job or company. You want to balance quality, low-cost and high-quality work. Although the only thing that construction evaluation software can really do for you is a quick and accurate assessment, the other two areas will fall into place as you spend less time on evaluation and more time on work and complete the work.
