GeneralCOST Estimator - Construction Cost Estimation Software
Product Description
Designed for both general construction contractors and home builders, GeneralCOST Estimator is a Microsoft Excel-based piece of software that allows users to get an accurate idea of construction costs.
One of the best things about GeneralCOST Estimator is the fact that it comes with a comprehensive built-in database covering a wide range of construction categories. These include Sitework, Concrete, Finishes, Mechanical, Electrical, and others.
Users can add new cost data or edit any of the existing data, apply their own overhead and profit factors, and make changes to suit the way they do business.
Another big advantage has to do with the fact that GeneralCOST Estimator is completely contained within an Excel file. It has several customizable worksheets that include a standard CSI with 16 division cost categories and it allows anyone to create estimates and print reports.
The app also boasts an on-screen takeoff calculator, a city index selection for localized profit calculations, and a comprehensive online help system. GeneralCOST Estimator works on a wide range of Excel versions starting from 2000 all the way up to 2019.
Once launched, the app will automatically launch in Excel. Right under the Excel ribbon toolbar, users will see a security warning stating that “some active content” has been disabled. To take advantage of what GeneralCOST Estimator has to offer, users are required to click the “Enable Content” button.
