taxes included in project overhead??

So (please prove me wrong), all estimating software is fundamentally built around 3 core features: 1. Take-off tools. Every business needs one of these, the two main ones are planswift and Bluebeam. I love Bluebeam but a lot of people hate it. Its just he one I'm used to 2. Managing cost/productivity/quantity databases- ie storing labor, plant, material, subcontractor rates 3. Preparing prices - combining quantities with rates etc. For most contractors, all you need is a quantity take off tool and excel. There are trade specific tools, but they often just have more data and are tailored towards trade specific workflows And AI just adds intelligence to this process. Ie can convert bid documents into requirements, or automatically extract quantities from drawings I did a breakdown in this video. If you like + comment it helps the algorithm!

Hi everyone, Patsy here. Am happy to have come across Tim's page today as I was searching for how to successfully kickstart my small house project I recently started constructing. I am an architectural technician and project manager.

Hi everyone, Chris here happy to be here I help construction contractors and project owners improve their CRM systems and workflows so they can manage leads, projects, and communication more efficiently. I’ve worked with tools like PlanHub, Procore, Buildertrend, JobNimbus, and HubSpot to streamline operations. From what I’ve seen, most contractors struggle with: - Managing and tracking leads properly - Disorganized project communication - Poor follow-up and missed opportunities - Limited automation in estimating and scheduling Looking forward to connecting and sharing value here
