SCALE CHECKS
The title block says 1:50. The door says otherwise.
Measure a door before you take off. If the answer is wrong, type the real scale and watch the length correct itself. Nothing is measured on a sheet whose scale has not been set.
Press M at any time to move round the drawing.
REVISIONS
New revision in. Markups kept. Changes found for you.
Lay Rev C over Rev B and see exactly what moved. Changed areas are boxed and numbered, markups move across, and the add and omit schedule is priced at the rates you used.
YOUR BUILD-UPS
A list from site in Excel. Priced before you finish your tea.
Import a material takeoff and every line is matched to your own build-ups. Sure matches are priced; close ones are shown for you to check. A 15mm bend is never priced as a 22mm one.
THE ESTIMATE
Your quantities are already there. Just price them.
Everything you measured lands in the estimate on its own, grouped by system, with the drawing it came from. Pick a build-up for each line and the nett cost builds as you go.
- Quantities stay live: change the takeoff and the estimate follows
- Price from your build-ups, your rate book or a supplier quote
- Next line, next unpriced: work down the job without hunting
- Every line confirmed before it goes to mark-up, so nothing slips through
- Totals per system and section, and a revision saved at every re-price
MARK-UP AND REPORTS
Nett to tender sum in a few keystrokes.
Set your mark-ups along the top and watch the tender total, the margin and every selling rate update as you type. Then pick a report and send it.
- Material and labour mark-up for the job, or a different % on any line
- Prelims and main contractor's discount carried to the tender sum
- Type a target tender figure and let it work back to the mark-up
- Selling summary for you, priced BOQ and takeoff quantities for the client
- Print to PDF or download for Excel, straight from the same figures

SEVERAL ESTIMATES PER JOB
Re-tendered? Copy the last one and carry on.
Start a new estimate empty, or as a copy of any earlier one with its drawings, markups, rates and letter. Each stands on its own, so the original stays exactly as you sent it.
TENDER LETTER
The letter writes itself. Your notes stay private.
Every drawing and revision is listed for you. Tick a note as a clarification and it goes on the letter. Internal notes never reach the client, by design.
