SoftList offers flexible and accurate estimating through a variety of user customizable features. Eliminate the errors of manual calculations by letting SoftList do the work for you. SoftList uses the details from your SoftPlan drawings as a database of information containing items such as walls, windows, joists, and more, and uses this information to estimate the amount and cost of materials needed for a project. Labor and waste factors can be added on a per material basis as each material within SoftList has an individual waste factor assigned. Materials can be counted as Time, Materials, Trade contractors or allowances. Finished materials lists can be exported in those formats to most major accounting Packages or in an Excel type spread sheet SoftList allows you to link labor costs with materials. Overtime, you can track and update these costs to make estimates increasingly accurate. Changing pricing is simple with the user ability to track up to three different price quotes per material. Costs can be imported into SoftList from whatever accounting package your business uses by assigning an item or part number. Report styles can be edited to specify information such as columns, headings, materials listed, and totals calculated for a report. Create a detailed report for your own use, listing items such as markup, labor, and waste separately, or create a summary version of this report for client use.
