Keep track of the costs and other expenses of a construction project by managing the relevant data in the calculator suite. It works with numbers representing labor, square footages, perimeters, volumes of areas, beams, rebar, studs, gallons of paint, etc. Data import/export is possible.

Accurate estimates are maybe the most important aspect for general contractors when it comes to profitability, and either they as PlanSwift people know it very well. Everything, from concrete to electrical work has to have its estimate. The thing is, planning and estimating can't cost more that what you could actually save by planning and estimating.
