Construction Estimating Software for contractors

Construction estimating software is important to contractors that want to bid their jobs accurately. Construction estimates the are created with software tend to be more accurate that construction bidding by hand.

Contractors that use construction bidding software frequently do job cost as well. If they do job cost they can feed back adjustments to the estimating software so their construction estimates are more accurate.

In fact, without job cost construction estimating is construction guesstimating. A futile process because they don't know their construction costs for sure.

Construction cost estimating is important because that's the way that contractors usually get jobs. Contractors today are fortunate in that they have the ability to construction estimating software that makes it easier for them to bid their projects quickly and efficiently.

Construction Estimating Software For Contractors - LiteningFast Estimating

Nick Hurd - Developer of LiteningFast

   Attention Contractors
   Stop Being Ripped Off On Every Estimate.

 

"Here's How To Flat Out Guarantee you NEVER Get Ripped Off On Any Estimate Ever Again!"

   

   Are you sick and tired of doing jobs that leave you with nothing but a few scraps of profit? If so, then this might be the most important letter you'll ever read.

    Do you wonder where the money went on your jobs? Have you felt like you're on a tread mill of working your butt off and not getting anywhere? Is your family not able to do what they want to do because money is tight? Do you feel like you're running around like a chicken with it's head cut off and you just never have the time to do the things you really want to do?

    Don't worry, you're going to discover the secret to making the money you really deserve on each and every job you do from today forward. So, you'll never have to worry about getting left out of the profits you deserve ever again. You're going to discover a system the will keep you on the track to profitability. You will make more money so you and your family can enjoy the benefits of your hard work.

I'll tell you all about that in just a minute. But first, let me tell you why you should listen to me.

    My name is Nick Hurd and I've been working with contractors since 1977. I've had the privilege of working with thousands of contractors over the years. Some of them were very successful, but most were living a "hand to mouth" existence. Ten years ago I decided I wanted to develop a system that would give small and medium contractors the tools that would allow them to make money consistently from each and every job they do. I wanted to help contractors like you get the rewards you deserve from all your hard work.

   The reason I did this is because I was appalled that so many small and medium contractors are working so hard and earning so little for their efforts. I could go on about the plight of these contractors... but let me share a solution that will help you get profitable on every job.

Welcome to "The LiteningFast System - The ultimate profit building solution for contractors"

The LiteningFast System is an accurate, easy Construction Estimating - LiteningFast to use and learn construction estimating software that integrates with QuickBooks to create simplified budgets job costing.

 You'll Make More Money On All Your Jobs Without Working Any Harder Than You Are Today!

   It's true! And what's even more amazing is that most contractors know the answer and do nothing about it.

Most Contractor Systems Are Too Hard To Use And Require Too Much Time - Time That You Don't Have!

     What this means to you is... you have to be extremely careful about selecting estimating software for your construction business... without first knowing exactly what you need to do the job easily and without taking any more of your valuable time. 

    That's the real reason I finally decided to develop the LiteningFast System.

    You see, I was tired of talking with hard working contractors, and their wives, only to hear over and over again how they were getting left high and dry with almost NO profit at all on many of their jobs. They wanted to know how to start making money on their jobs. And how to get more time to spend with their families. Tools were available, but they were too hard to use and way too expensive.

  • Browse n' Build Catalog is over 20,000 material cost and labor production items to get help you build your database. The thing that makes this unique is that you go through the list once or twice and select the the items you normally use on the job. They are added to your database within the appropriate sections so you can find them quickly and easily while you're estimating. This means that you don't have to wade through 20,000 items, most of which you don't use, every time you estimate. This saves you lots of time and confusion.

  • 'How To Simplify The Estimating Process With Assemblies So You Get More Done In Less Time!' Assemblies allow you to group items that are commonly used together into one takeoff item.

When you enter one dimension, in this case probably linear feet, all of the materials are taken off at once. Saving you hours of time.

  • Material Lists allow you to send a written list to your vendors so they can give you the exact prices for the materials for the job. You can enter those prices back into your estimate which will update your estimate and your database so you know you have the precise costs for materials for your estimate.

  • Labor Lists display what labor is going to be needed and for how many hours on the job. This can be printed by section/task and given to your foremen on the job so they can use it as a budget for the work on the job.

Anything you can enter into a spreadsheet cell you can enter into the calculation for the quantity of an item. For example, you can calculate the square feet of a roof using Rise, Run and Width. You can calculate the quantity of concrete required for a job based on the length, width, and depth of the concrete. Once built, these assemblies will save you hours of time and effort.

  • You can update your estimates to QuickBooks Purchase Orders. If you use purchase orders with your subcontractors and material suppliers you'll find that this feature will save you many hours creating purchase orders. When you get the job, all you have to do is select the estimate, the vendor and click a button. Your purchase order is created.

  • You can import material and labor costs from other sources and keep them up to date easily.

Your estimating challenge.

"LiteningFast does what you expect it to do without requiring much effort on the part of the user."
The Journal Of Light Construction

"Although I have been a carpenter and a contractor for 24 years, it has only been 9 years since I began 'computerizing' my trade in business.

If you are like 85% of construction outfits in this country (5 employees or less) you know that there just isn't the time or the money to learn a new way to do something you've been doing all your life.

Litening Estimating is simply the most efficient estimating program available today.

I've worked with 5 other programs over the past 6 years and they have proved more cumbersome and limited than Litening. Now the deeper integration with QuickBooks Pro makes this program the only choice for REAL Contractors.

If you're a big-spending schmoozer who has somebody else estimate your jobs, you might be impressed by one of the high-dollar "suites" with bells and whistles you'll never get to toot. I've worked with two of them myself. Grief.

But if you need to get up and running this week and you want an estimating program that can grow with you and be customized to do things your way, get Litening.

Here's the nutshell version:
  * Ready-made categories or create your own, or both.
  * Smooth accounting integration with QuickBooks Pro (the best).
  * NICE presentation printouts, Customizable in Word or Excel.
  * WAY Cost effective with Time efficient implementation.
  * Personal communication for support with the developer.
  * Almost totally customizable for doing things your way.

I started using this program with Version 4 nearly 5 years ago, and experimented with more complex systems thinking I could do better. Forget it. Now Version 6 is cleaner and more versatile than ever.

I have spoken with Nick, the developer, personally on many occasions by phone to resolve issues or understand the program better. Unheard of.
Well worth the small investment.

Thanks Nick."
Michael Cramer Cramer Construction Concepts ccconcepts@earthlink.net

"Just a note to say 'thanks' for writing LiteningFast!!
We have been using it for several years and have become very attached to it because of it's dependability and ease of use. The program is so very simple to learn to use, that we were able to do estimates almost immediately. The fact that estimates and budgets may be imported into QuickBooks is a feature that allows tracking to keep us on our cost track. If you can write a check, you can track your job.

Also, I want to thank you for the outstanding support that you give to your software. It is second to none. You have always been ready and willing to help a customer"
Ben Hill, Ben Hill Builders, Inc., Auburn, AL

"I think your program is absolutely terrific.  It is exactly what I needed to help me produce good estimates. With your program I don't have to hire an estimator, I can do it myself in just 15-30 minutes... a 1200-1600 square foot house.  And the estimate will be dead on target

I figured my first job with your program.  I let my framer also figure the materials.  He's been in the business for 35 years.  The two estimates were so close... it was unreal!" Dennis Tharrington First Home Builders, Inc. Henderson, NC dennis@ncol.net

LiteningFast is an inexpensive off-the-shelf program that's simple to learn and use. Better yet, it links to QuickBooks, another inexpensive off-the-shelf program that's simple to learn and use. That makes it a hit in my book.
The Journal Of Light Construction

Just a quick note to let you know how you are doing! Although I was very apprehensive about spending that kind of money, without trying the software, I was very happy with the results.
I'm working through the getting started guide and I'm very impressed with the writing style. It's very easy and is an immense help with shortening the learning curve. Because the application is highly customizable, I can fit it to my environment. Now I can create estimates that make sense to me and I don't have to work the way someone else wants me too.
    I'm especially impressed with your company procedures. I called and after 1 ring I had someone on the phone. No navigating through menu's to reach someone I don't know. It was really a pleasure to talk to the person I reached (sorry, I didn't get his name) because he didn't talk down to me. After I bought the software, I got a call thanking me for my purchase. Funny, I've spent a bunch of money at Microsoft and never got a thank you. It really means a lot. Paul L. Crouch crouchp2004@aol.com

"Being a busy contractor, I needed a program that is quick, easy to learn and operate. With LiteningFast I got all that and more. My customers like the estimate reports and I like it working with QuickBooks Pro, my accounting program. LiteningFast has helped me stay in the black and look more professional."
