It is also possible to incorporate the unit prices from partner companies to finalize your own estimates. This software streamlines the estimation process and contributes to increased orders. We have now added the highly requested new feature of "switching between individual unit prices and composite unit prices." Companies that submit estimates using composite unit prices, thank you for your patience! It is also very convenient for switching to individual unit prices to create execution budgets or to understand the amounts and ratios of "material costs," "labor costs," and "expenses" for the entire project. *Related products and catalogs are available for more detailed information.
