Here are a few of the powerful features.
• Quick and easy to use. Won’t require expensive training. You can be creating estimates within minutes after installation.
• Suitable for a wide variety of divisions including: Contracting, Billing, Accounting, Site Progressing, Final audit plus many more.
• Has built-in invoicing for people.
• You can store tens of thousands of customers, projects and estimates.
• Each customer can have multiple projects and each project can have multiple estimates.
• It has many built in lists for storing frequently used information.
• It has a Manual Estimate worksheet that you can use to gather on-site estimating information. This form has a similar layout as the computer program making it easy to transfer the quantity information and then do the final pricing of the project.
• You can create Estimate Templates and then import then in to a new estimate. These are like pre-made estimates without any quantities for tasks you carry out a lot. You can import these into a new estimate and just enter the quantities. This greatly speeds up estimating.
• You can also import an existing estimate from a similar project into a new estimate. You can optionally import all the quantities as well.
• You can add Materials, Labor, Subcontract, Equipment and Miscellaneous items to an estimate individually. They are not all combined on on one line like other more expensive programs do. This gives you total flexibility especially when estimating labor only jobs.
• You can easily adjust the final price of your estimate up or down by simply entering the price you want. ESTIMA will then adjust the profit on all the items in your estimate to reach the new price. It doesn’t just add or subtract a lump sum. This is very useful when you want to round the price up or down or add a contingency or give a discount.
• You can set a different overhead recovery and profit percentage for each of the categories, Materials, Labor, Subcontract, Equipment and Miscellaneous for each customer.
• Each project can have multiple estimates. Great for when a customer wants more than one estimate with different options for comparison.
• Built-in project scheduling. Estima can calculate the end date for a project based on the estimated man-hours.
• Easily import / export information from / to spreadsheets.
