"Hello everyone....I have been reading alot about the mystery of what software to purchase. Well I hope i can shed some light on this topic for all.

I have tseted about 15 programs from scheduling to management to estimating and takeoff softwares and I have come to a conclusion that you will need 2 and you will be set. Now I am a micro manager and think I could be a little extreme sometimes but i wanted a program that could estimate the project then track all aspects from proposals to change orders to scheduling to quote requests to emailing schedules to quick books intergrating to emailing letters to AIA documenting to accounting, reports, and more. Well after many months of downloading and testing I would suggest a program from SmartContractor.com, it is awesome. I would also like to share a takeoff program called Planswift, this program is and has been a money maker for our GC Company. Check these programs out and let me know what your thoughts are. Hope this helps with evryones software searches. By the way, cost estimating programs are not so accurate, you end up adjusting all your costs anyway so might as well just start your own data base."
