Making an accurate construction cost estimate can be difficult and time consuming when working on a large project. A large amount of materials can also complicate the details of an estimate because of all the inputs and formulas involved. Our construction cost estimating software takes the pain out of estimating with our extensive materials and assemblies database plus the ability to import your own custom items and assemblies.
Our construction estimating software simplifies the process of creating construction estimates. The process is incredibly easy to accomplish in just a few steps. First, you’ll upload your digital plans into the software. Next, you’ll perform a takeoff by simply clicking around the plans with your mouse to measure your dimensions and/or quantities.
Using the software’s pre-built materials database, you’ll select your materials, items, and assemblies. The software creates your estimate by:
The estimate is completed in an easy to analyze report that outlines the total cost of the project.
For example, consider a painter who will be painting all the walls in a new office building. After performing a takeoff to determine the square footage of the walls, the construction estimating software will calculate the gallons of primer, gallons of each color paint, number of paint brushes and paint rollers, other materials, and number of labor hours that will be required to complete the project, along with the costs associated with each line item.
At STACK you get the best construction estimating software available that’s jam-packed with the features you need. Some features and advantages of using digital estimating software are:
The cloud-based estimating software also lets you take advantage of new features that developers are implementing as soon as they launch. In contrast, with desktop-based software, customers are not able to use these new features until they pay for new versions of the software and manually install the updates.
Although our cost estimating software is designed to be highly user-friendly, it is often helpful to attend a training session to learn techniques from experts. If nothing else, you will certainly pick up a few handy tricks to make your job easier. Some companies charge you for this training (often times up to $1000 or more – ouch!). However, STACK includes training with our software at no extra cost!
STACK also provides world-class support! It’s easy to get ahold of one of our customer success representatives by phone, e-mail, or chat in a reasonable amount of time. We understand when you have a question, it’s important to get it answered QUICKLY. It’s our goal to make that happen!
Furthermore, contractors that aren’t using construction estimating software often use a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to help with their cost calculations. If you’re not ready to give up on your customized Excel spreadsheet, you are in luck. As an additional benefit, our construction estimating software integrates seamlessly with your existing Excel template.
