Estimating Software FAQ's

SOME COMMON QUESTION

Unit of Measure

Systems of Measurement: there are two main systems of measurement in the world: the Metric (or decimal) system and the US standard system.

Type	U.S. Unit	Metric Unit
Length	Inches, Feet, Yards, Miles	Millimeters, Centimeters, Meters, Kilometers

EasyEst Estimating Software – works equally well with either. However data included Pricebooks(databases) use U.S. Units.

Is this system a peer to peer system?

Technically EasyEst does not have file sharing(2 users in the same bid at the same time), but since you can have your bids on a server another user can open the bid once you are out of it.

Can I import pricing data like R.S. Means?

Since EasyEst Estimating is so flexible it means that you can add or copy items, change their location, item number or description. Because of this flexibility it is impossible to import data without over writing all the customizing you have done to your very valuable data.
