Once you use it, you'll never go back to a regular calculator. I do use my 10-key a lot, but nothing like the Construction Master.

Is it one of the Calculated Industries' Construction Master? I have the HeavyCalc and love it, one of the best $50.00 I ever spent.

This has been a crazy week, for being a short one. We have decided to not to go with the software after all. Just doesn't seem to be worth the money right now, we are looking at calculators instead, I found one that will be able to work for us, of course, I left the info at the office. Seems to be pretty good for 70 bucks.

Thank you, I am getting there.

Well that is why I say get as many demo disk as you can, to me if companies do not give out demo disk or have free trials on their site I would move on. Why should you pay 3K-10K for a system that you can't even try out first. It would be like buying a car and not test driving it first.

I think the other thing you have to be concerned with is it something that you will be using all the time? Or is it something to use occasionally?

Sorry for your illness, get well soon James.

I have noticed many of these software companies want an arm and a leg and don't offer a demo disc. Roctek for one, will only do a net meeting, we have one set up for next week. I looked at the screen shots, and to be honest, It looks overwhelming to me. I will let you know how it goes.

Get well!

Does anyone use software for estimating excavation?

We are looking at Roctek, does anyone know about this one?
