Databases

One database behind every estimate and every report.

Items, assemblies and packages carry their prices, specs, selections, upgrades and vendors, so every estimate and every document reads from the same place.

What lives in the database

Items

Material and subcontract costs, waste, units, margins or pass-through, cost codes, specification text, selections, upgrades, vendor details and pictures.

Assemblies

Groups of items with formulas, default roof pitch, Good, Better and Best upgrades on any line, internal notes, and a testing quantity to check the math as you create the assembly.

Packages

Assemblies and items bundled together so larger projects can be stored, referenced and added to estimates.

Job cost codes

Your cost code list, used for budgets, purchase orders and the schedule.

Keeping prices current

Vendor Price Link - In Development

Share your items with vendors so they can update pricing as it changes on their end. You will receive a notification to approve or deny the change. No more calling for lumber lists or finding the price of something changed after you are invoiced. 

Live Databases

Never pull an outdated price. Once a price is updated in the items database, assemblies, packages, unlocked estimates and the Cost Book follow.

Locked estimates stay put

Lock an estimate once pricing is given. If you ever want to see whether prices in a locked estimate have changed, you can pull the updated price report.

Organized your way

Your tree, your order

Divisions, categories and sub-categories in construction order. Drag to reorder, or keep your spreadsheet’s order on import.

Excel in and out

Import and export items and assemblies, including default formulas, and copy one assembly’s items to a whole family.

Find and replace

Rename across the database in one step, with a preview of every change first.
