BUILDERMT PRODETAIL HOMEBUILDING SOFTWARE

Premier Construction Cost Estimating Software

BuilderMT ProDetail Estimating is designed for builders who want to take cost estimating to a new level. ProDetail Estimating combines features from BuilderMT's WMS software with a detailed estimating database to form a powerful construction cost estimating software application. ProDetail Estimating is a software system that creates an itemized base house with option estimates. With over 1000 takeoff assemblies and 90,000+ database items, a builder's purchasing department has a complete view of itemized labor and material estimates when they are negotiating with vendors through this home building estimating application.

With the ProDetail Estimating solution, builders have detailed costs for the labor and materials that go into each home. Additionally, a builder can quickly and accurately estimate the highly profitable options. ProDetail Home Building Estimating software helps create detailed option estimates for structural, flooring, windows, cabinets, appliances and much more. These detailed plan and option

estimates can be used to quickly and efficiently create, or expand, a model/option Purchasing database for use with BuilderMT's Workflow Management Suite.

Effective homebuilding estimating software reduces the time needed to generate conceptual itemized estimates, giving management the ability to quickly analyze new products.
