With Estimating Standards spreadsheet, everything you need to build an estimate is available with the click of the mouse. At all times, you get total interaction onscreen, in real time, with no paper printouts needed to see your work. And there's no estimate size limit either.
Estimating Standard makes it easy to analyse and fine-tune your estimates. You can rename and move columns around. Open and compare several estimates at once. Even drag items from one spreadsheet into another for quick creation of new or alternative estimates.

Want to view your work by location? You can do that too. In face, with the click of a mouse you can look at your estimate by division or item, takeoff order, assembly, bid item or other user-defined Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) code. You can also create and save unlimited, personalised views of the spreadsheet while you work. So later, you can see the estimate just the way you need during review. Plus estimates can be viewed in full detail of summarised to the major estimate divisions.
Ever forget to save your work? Don't worry. Unlike typical memory based spreadsheets, Estimating Standard's disk-based spreadsheet resides on your hard drive. So you never have to save your estimate. Or worry about losing your work.

Fast Takeoff.

There's more than one way to do takeoff. Estimating Standard gives you three - all designed to give you more accurate estimates, in less time.

Quick Takeoff: Simply drag one or more items from the database directly into the onscreen spreadsheet. Enter dimensions and the software automatically calculates all quantities for you.

Item Takeoff: If you want to work with database items before they go into your estimate, you can drag them into the item takeoff window. When you're ready, just click the OK button to add them to your spreadsheet.

Smart Assemblies Takeoff: To save a lot of time, you can take off all the items of a wall, door, concrete slab or other building component in just one step. Estimating Databases include a variety of common assemblies that you can modify. Or you can build your own.

Presentation quality reports.

These days, your numbers have to look good. We're talking different type fonts and sizes, bolding, italics and colours. With Estimating Standard, you can produce professional looking, easy to understand reports for clients and upper management.
Not only can you control the look of your reports, you can control the content. You can create custom headers and footers including graphics. And Estimating Standard's WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) reporting lets you quickly strip, add to and tweak the estimate just the way you want. Then print. Professional reporting has never been simpler.
