The days of being able to estimate construction costs by the linear foot or square foot are long over. Today’s construction marketplace is highly competitive and requires that you bid more projects, with more accuracy,  in less time than ever before. At MeasurePlans.com many of our construction screen-takeoff & digitizer takeoff programs work with a Construction Estimating Spreadsheet, typically an Excel spreadsheet. We refer to the spreadsheet as a "template" since you will use the template for each project of a similar nature. Combine the power of the Excel spreadsheet with one of our easy to use measuring solutions and you have a complete estimating package, for a fraction of the cost of the 'canned' estimating programs you see at the trade shows.

 

Excel Video Training

If you are new to using Excel or would benefit from some fresh ideas to use in your own construction estimating template then we are here to help. Through our sister site at EstimatingTemplates.com, we offer a video training series titled “The Beginners Guide to Estimating with Excel”. These seven videos were designed with the novice in mind who has no knowledge of using Excel, and who desires to build his or her own Construction Estimating Spreadsheet template.

 

Professionally Designed Estimating Spreadsheet Templates

We also offer a wide variety of Construction Estimate Spreadsheet Templates at EstimatingTemplates.com that you can download immediately and begin using. Each of these trade specific templates was designed by professional estimators for their own use. In most cases our own Excel professionals created them at the direction of professional estimators with experience in their own trade. If you see a construction estimating template here that would help your business simply click Add to Cart and you can download the template right away.
