Sage Timberline Commercial Steel databaseprovides the estimator with parts and Smart Assemblies for all poplular shapes, sizes, and fittings. The increase in speed and accuracy is dramatic..
You may pick parts or Smart Assemblies (whichever is appropriate), enter the quantities you measured using OnScreen Takeoff, and estimate the cost for labor and materials in seconds.
Sage Timberline's Smart Assemblies are programmed to let you answer questions like shape/size, length, drill/cut specs, finish specs, etc. The system then does the math and produces quantities, hours, and corresponding dollar figures.
Productivity is set in the database for the average job but may easily be adjusted up or down depending on the job.
The end result is a very comprehensive "ballpark" estimate with notes in a format that is presented in a printed format for your client.
You can refine the cost by "pushing" your parts to Sage Buyout. Buyout will make it easy to get current pricing from your vendors which can, in turn, be "pushed" back to your estimate. Now you have the makings of your "hard" bid to the client.
