CRAFTSMAN COSTBOOKS

You can save common cost items in your own custom costbook, and you can purchase 3 different Craftsman Costbooks within the app via in-app purchase for $49.99 each. The costbook data is only valid in the US and Canada, but the costbooks are also available for purchase internationally.

• National Construction Estimator
• National Home Improvement Estimator
• National Renovation and Insurance Repair Estimator

Each costbook contains thousands of common construction items, and the costs are localized to your US Zip Code or Canadian Postal Code.

The Craftsman Costbooks are really helpful if you need to provide a cost estimate for work that you havent done before, or if you need to do a sanity check on cost estimates from subcontractors. You can also copy cost items from the Craftsman Costbooks to your own custom costbook, and then change any of the numbers.

This has changed the way I look at quoting!

• ★★★★★   TheCourtyard 11 years ago ( v 1.8.4 )

I am a small contractor managing projects up to 500K. I find this software very useful and I believe that it presents me in a professional manner. As it is an App it is slightly limited in a few ways such as lack of editing facilities for the naming conventions as I live and work in France not the US. I would also like to be able to edit the reports a little but cant. These things are frustrating but no more than that. Being able to copy regularly used items from a "cost book" is great. I can price say dry-lining by the square metre in all kinds of different build ups straight off the shelf so to speak. Being able to see a mark up and profit margin in a report as a by product of the quote is also very handy. It has changed the way I look at quoting and for that I am very grateful. Horray for Construction Cost Estimator!

Construction Cost Estimator

In regard to the software, I purchased a cost book but did not know where it was and assumed it had not been downloaded. Then after I got a credit for it from Apple it was there with added complications. Just prior to version 2.4 my costbook disappeared and where do I find it now? In that costbook it is not clear if the materials are included in some job pricings, like doing stairs and it is x$ for a tread. Is it intended that this is the supplied price?

Great time saving app.

I really enjoy using this app. Has cut down my work i put into quoting by a lot. Have made a bunch of entries in my cost book and it is great. Wish I could get a version for my IPad and sync between my Macbook and IPad. Well work the money.

Excellent App
