Estimating
What Others Say
"Please keep up the great work you do for contractors struggling to
do good work and stay in business. Your newsletter and the mailers are a great source of
encouragement and tools to fight the good battle.
I have been introduced to programs that cost as much as $800.00 per
month with a program time of 16 to 24 months. Your program and your estimating program have been
the most cost effective ways to improve my business. Without your input my business would be
floundering.
Your lecture has dispelled the notions of many proud
contractors/carpenters that people will respect good craftsmanship and pay accordingly. With your
book and your newsletter I feel that I can gain the upper hand to running a successful business and
employ people that can build a career that they too can enjoy and reach their
potential."

"I just started my own contracting company two months ago and was
looking for some help. I stumbled across a couple of software programs that were inexpensive for
beginning contractor's but found that they were very complex to figure out and did not have any
flexibility. Then I came across Fast Track Estimating. I was nervous about spending the money
because of the other software I had wasted money on. But I'm glad I decided to go ahead and order
your software.
Fast Track Estimating is not perfect for me but the flexibility
allows me to customize it to my needs and I like that. . .
Thank you for providing such a great tool for contractors. Seeing
that the program was so well thought out, I decided to buy your book as well, "Markup & Profit;
A Contractor's Guide". It came in the mail today and I can't put it down . . . I'm learning so
much."

"Just read your latest email newsletter and thought I'd write to
offer affirmation that your philosophies toward residential construction company sales and
management as well as customer management really work.
Since attending one of your seminars and reading your book several
years back, we have been basing all of our design/build practice on firm price contracts. All of
our pricing is done with estimating software. We automatically build our OHP factor in-nothing is
"stick-priced". This process has saved us hundreds of hours both in office and wrangling with
clients (and the added stress that goes with that), and has probably added years to our
lives.
Your system is by far the easiest way to run a residential
remodeling company. I just wish I could convince more of my competition in our Central Mass. market
to read your book-there'd be a lot less education of the client-base between T&M and fixed/firm
price contract pricing."

"Thank you for your help in getting my new software up and running.
I spent a little time exploring and am very impressed with the logic that this program is based on.
I especially like the way the program lists estimate items and keeps them in order even if I have
to go back an add something I missed. The ability to easily add subcontractor prices without having
to create an entire cost item is wonderful. You don't know what I have been through with the last
estimating software I purchased but it really makes me appreciate Fast Track."
