How do I estimate construction material costs?

Select a project template (such as a concrete patio, shed foundation, or privacy fence) or add custom items, specify unit pricing, and add waste percentages to determine total estimated project expense.

Can I export or print the project takeoff estimate?

Yes, the project estimator allows you to print the material list, copy a summary, or export line items directly for contractor and client proposals.
