Is Excel Causing You Headaches in Estimating?

Do you use Timberline Estimating? If you don't, just consider the benefits of switching to an industry-specific estimating product. Among the most important:

• Pre-built industry specific databases save time and produce more consistent estimates
• Built-in take-off tools like assemblies increase speed and accuracy, allowing for more estimates and greater profitability on those you win
• Powerful reporting and analysis tools allow you to evaluate your estimates against actual cost-to-build, and use historical estimates as the basis for new projects
• Integration with Timberline Job Cost makes creating the Job Cost budget as simple as a keystroke

ICS Support and Sage Software invite you to find out more. If you agree that a construction-specific estimating tool might be worth looking into at your company, read some additional material in the Timberline Estimating file (PDF) - and give us a call.

P.S. Additional Benefit – Act now to earn tax savings
Take advantage of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 which provides a “bonus depreciation” allowance for certain property acquired during 2008, including computer software. This allows a business to depreciate an additional 50% of the cost of software acquired and placed into service that same tax year.
