Unlike other software, BuildBook has focused on delivering construction estimating software that is so simple to use that you can start without a lick of training, yet powerful enough that it offers everything you need to create accurate estimates and stunning proposals that set you apart from your competition.
Construction estimating is your initial scope of work and cost breakdown for a potential project. A construction proposal is the final version of your construction estimate that you send to your client for approval.
BuildBook is cloud-based software with native applications for both the web and mobile which means that you can access your account from anywhere you have internet. BuildBook works on any web browser and is available as an app for iPhone, iPad and Android.
Cost Codes allow you to divide project costs into particular categories assigned to specific divisions. That way, you can see exactly how much particular jobs or tasks cost and how that compares to what was budgeted or predicted for your construction project.
Think of the Price Book as a template system. You can create a set of items from your Cost Codes that you can import into any estimate. This speeds up the time to create a full estimate considerably!
Yes! You can export your proposal as a PDF to send to your client, print out a hard copy, or send them a link to access the proposal online.
Labor, Materials, Flat Fee and Selections
There are three types of management fees you can add to your project’s proposal. 1. Management Fee. 2. Cost Plus Percentage (structured to pay actual costs incurred on the contract plus a fixed percent management fee.). 3. Fixed Fee (fixed dollar amount.).
