Estimating
Bluegrass provides a simple, straightforward Estimating system that allows you to
enter quantities on the screen from your take-off sheets. Many of our users that have more
sophisticated take off -systems use our estimating module for quick estimates
and residential new construction.
The Estimating system supports assemblies. This allows you to
create a detail material list with one entry. However, you can modify
assemblies on the fly; change the quantity of an item or add/delete the item
completely.
The Estimating
module interfaces to proposals so that all estimates and proposals can be
tracked. For awarded jobs the
estimating module automatically creates a work order, sets up the job with
Budgets and can create Purchase Order or Inventory requisition.
