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 specific tasks or materials cost and how that compares to what was budgeted or predicted for your construction project.
Think of the Price Book as a menu of all of your costs. You can group your costs within your Price Book from your Cost Codes, which you can then 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, send them a direct email, or send them a link to access the estimate online.
BuildBook gives you the ability to create a complete proposal that includes sections for your company and team information, scope of work, itemized cost estimate, payment terms, contract terms, and estimate approvals.
Your itemized cost estimate includes options for Labor, Materials, Flat Fees, and Selections. Additionally, you can set markups and taxes on any individual line item. Finally, BuildBook provides the option to specify and include a management fee on any estimate.
Yes! BuildBook provides you with three types of management fees you can add to your estimates. 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.).
