About Fast Track Estimating
The Fast Track Estimating software produces an accurate estimate and material purchase list. The heart of this construction estimating software is the list of typical residential construction tasks based on unit costing. Select items from the assembly list to include in the estimate. As assemblies are added, the standard cost for material, labor, subcontractor and other cost is assumed. Each standard cost can be overridden if desired. The software is flexible and was designed by a contractor, making it easy to deal with the variety of jobs common in construction. Build templates for common jobs, clone existing estimates, adjust assembly prices and markups as needed and enter several different tax codes. When you’re done, a variety of reports are available. Help screens are available.
