National Estimator Cloud
National Estimator Cloud helps you generate estimates from your internet browser. Includes 10 Craftsman cost databases. Cost estimates are as accurate as possible considering that the estimators who developed these figures don't know your subs or suppliers, haven't seen the plans or specs, don't know what building code applies or where the job is, and don't know your work crews. We don't claim that all construction is done at these prices. No single cost fits all jobs. Good estimates are custom-made for a particular project and a single contractor through judgment, analysis, and experience. Think of National Estimator Cloud as an aid to developing an informed opinion of cost. National Estimator Cloud runs on the web; no disk and no download are needed. National Estimator Cloud keeps track of work completed and billed and work yet to be completed and billed. QuickBooks keeps track of what's been paid and what's still owed. Use QuickBooks to compare job costs with revenue.
