So about 1 year ago ROI Flooring purchased a flooring estimating program called Callidus and it has made life so much easier! The program offers many benefits to my workflow, however it also helps our flooring customers. Here's how....
1. We now work on all blue-prints electronically. What that means for our clients is that we are not wasting HUGE amounts of paper on blue-prints and spec books. Shipping costs for obtaining drawings are eliminated since most drawings can be downloaded on the internet, emailed, or mailed on a disk or flash drive.
2. All of our quotes come with a fully highlighted copy of each floor plan. This is significant because it clearly shows the full scope of work we're including in our proposals to our customers. It helps eliminate confusion or errors during the sale and install process. It helps give our customers a clearer understanding of what it is exactly they are purchasing.
3. The turn around time on our quotes has drastically been reduced. The estimating program allows me to produce an estimate in about 1/3 the time it would have taken with traditional paper drawings. This helps ROI be more efficient in our quoting and sales presentation timelines. A typical turn around is about 1 week for quotes. Smaller projects can often be the same or next day!
Below are a few examples of what an estimate from Callidus looks like. A highlighted color key similar to what is shown below is provided for every quote. Please contact me at 224-238-2045 if you are interested in getting an estimate on flooring for your project.
That’s great to hear! With the help of estimating software and the way you’re building it up, I guess it’s safe to say the project achieved a desirable outcome. The biggest benefit you can get from estimating software is speed. And in the construction industry, time is of grave importance. Accuracy is another thing. It’s easy to declare the number, but how you will be able to meet your estimate’s quote is not. Good job!

Aside from speed, you will have the accuracy to track actual labor, material, and equipment costs –all of which are very important for contractors. Software like that can be used to determine the job’s closest-to-true cost. Construction estimating software is a must-have product for a construction firm, since it increases accuracy and consistency in managing daily project operations.

To keep the correct width, I mark my sewing machine with tape where I need to follow. I just ran the fold along with the tape after pinning it. I hope that makes sense! You should also visit here Buy Calacatta Marble Online For Your Home
