General Manager, Construction/General Contracting, Brandon, FL
"I would like a program that has several functions- estimating in all areas of the construction process, Plumbing, Painting, electrical, Insurance ( where Insurance agencies hire my company out to repair home damage) Repair when a client calls and it's not linked to an insurance claim, renovations, and new construction. the estimator should be geared to the local ZIP CODE 74745, 74735 areas in oklahoma due to the ecnomic depressed area. I'm looking to learn new ways to bid out a job and the convert that bid into a contract and then into an invoice when the job is finally completed. I currently operate from the national estimator 2003 edition, but when compared other porgrams some of them have vastly different pricing per Item. I need something that's consistient across the board as a whole."
