As a custom home construction business owner, you rely on teams of subs and dealers for fast service and accurate pricing. It makes time spent on a project and on the job site<\/b><\/a> much easier and more efficient.\u00a0<\/p>

The same can be said for your time in the office. Time is money \u2014 you could easily waste too much of it behind the desk or paying others for manual office work. You need help to make the job easier and more efficient.<\/p>

Making work as efficient as possible is key, especially when you consider that much of this work is considered general overhead.<\/p>

Let’s take a look at estimating, as an example. If you still use Excel spreadsheets, a calculator and a ruler as your go-to estimating tools, you know it limits the time spent on the job site and at home. Paying someone to estimate for you is expensive. There\u2019s a better way. Automation through the use of construction estimating software.<\/p>

Construction estimating software and apps automate the estimating process, reducing the amount of time it takes to estimate while also lowering the risk of human error that creeps into construction estimating. Errors are unintentional, but who hasn\u2019t missed an outdated material cost or estimated one too many, or too few, subcontractors when we create estimates? How many times have you said to yourself that it’s time to eliminate the errors that risk your profitability and credibility?<\/p>

How construction estimation software benefits home construction projects<\/b><\/a><\/h2>

Whether out of frustration or just a desire to try something new, more builders and remodelers every day are turning to construction estimating apps to boost their business performance.<\/p>

Yes, the construction industry as a whole has been slow to adopt new technology, but an increasing number of home construction pros have come to understand the use of construction estimating apps in construction projects. These apps streamline processes, reduce errors and save time and money.<\/p>

Let\u2019s review how:<\/p>

Create Estimates Accurately<\/h3>

It’s time to take guessing out of the estimating process. Construction estimating apps reduce the risk of human error by performing complex calculations \u2014 material and labor costs, labor rates and equipment rental costs \u2014 quickly and accurately and in a way that is repetitive from job-to-job.<\/p>

Construction estimating software gives you the ability to create construction estimating templates based on your best projects so that you don’t have to start from scratch each time. Software makes it possible to improve your templates over time so they become more comprehensive and complete each time you use them.<\/p>

Save Time<\/h3>

As templates become more accurate, you worry less over estimating and bidding jobs. Automating many manual admin tasks improves your efficiency when you engage with construction estimating apps. Imagine having accurate pricing for labor and materials loaded into your work environment and ready to go.<\/p>

This frees up your time to focus on other essential tasks, such as project management and client relations<\/b><\/a>. Automation speeds estimating up to 5X faster on average. Faster estimating means you bid more jobs to win more work at a price that works for your business.<\/p>

Improved communication<\/b><\/a><\/h3>

Construction estimating apps generate clear and concise bids that are easy for clients to understand, boosting your reputation for accuracy and professionalism. When you generate these bids on a cloud based platform, you perform bid management digitally. When customers review and accept bids digitally, you close deals faster.<\/p>

Overhead reduction<\/h3>

Regardless of the size of your business, using construction estimating apps will free up time to focus on other important tasks, such as hiring staff and finding new customers. Construction estimating software also clearly shows you how to account and pay for indirect costs<\/b><\/a> through the use of digital markup tools. The best construction estimating software gives you the ability to show markup in as much detail as you care to show the customer.<\/p>

Improved consistency<\/h3>

Standardizing the estimating process is easy when using construction estimating apps. As mentioned, construction estimating software offers the use of templates based on your most common or most successful jobs. All of your templates are stored in a centralized place. And the best construction estimating software stores these on a common dashboard so you can stop hunting high and low for Excel files on your computer.<\/p>

Construction estimating software also ties construction estimating closely with construction budgeting so that you can track how closely estimates follow actual expenses. Over time, your estimates become more accurate, and your business performance becomes more consistent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What to look for in construction estimating apps<\/h2>

\u00a0<\/p>

When choosing a construction estimating app for your small home construction business, consider the ease-of-use, especially when it comes to accounting software integrations. You want software with a short learning curve so that you can quickly connect your estimates and budgets to Intuit quickbooks or Xero.<\/p>

Here are some other top features to look for when you\u2019re shopping for construction estimating apps:<\/p>

Material and labor cost estimating<\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Construction estimating apps that offer an easy way to include up-to-date material and labor costs help you accurately plan your budget and resources for a project. Accurately estimating the cost of materials<\/b><\/a> and labor ensures you make informed decisions and stay within budget.<\/p>

Access to a comprehensive material and labor cost database ensures that your estimates are accurate. Search for construction estimating apps that can auto-update current market prices based on your project’s location so you can be confident your estimates are accurate. You also want software that clearly tracks actual costs and profitability as your project progresses.<\/p>

Digital takeoff<\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Digitizing blueprints and plans are key features when considering construction estimating apps. Not only will your office be more organized, but your takeoffs will be more accurate and save you a ton of time.<\/p>

Proposals and RFP preparation<\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

The construction bidding process \u2014 preparing proposals and responding to RFPs \u2014 takes a lot of time, time that you cannot easily charge back to an individual project. Construction estimating apps streamline the proposal and RFP process using stored and saved data, saving time and reducing your overhead costs.<\/p>

Be sure your software has project management features<\/h2>

\u00a0<\/p>

Managing a construction project is a big job. As we’ve discussed, construction estimating apps do a great job speeding up the time it takes to estimate and bid a job.<\/p>

But a total estimating solution does more. In addition to estimating features, the best estimation software also provides valuable insight into scheduling and improved job site communication to avoid surprises. Here are a few other things to keep in mind:<\/p>

Multi-user-enabled tasks<\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

You know how important it is to collaborate with your internal team or with your trusted contractors, sub-contractors and material dealers. That’s why you need construction estimating apps that enable multiple users.<\/p>

Updating project costs<\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

You know better than anyone that not every project goes the way it’s planned. From the scope of work to materials and labor costs, construction can change at any time during the project’s run. Flexibility is key. Search for construction estimating apps that offer ease of updating and editing estimates through the use of change orders.<\/p>

The best construction estimating software processes change orders the same way you build and send customer bids, so you keep a short learning curve.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
