I saw this book once and it was filled with great ideas. There is a bunch on Ebay I might have to pick one up.

The best thing about using Excel is that when you bring a new estimator in most if not all knows how to use it. With Timberline or Primavera, it

Any advice, comments, etc. on software? We are a growing small to medium firm and have been getting by with excel spreadsheets and word documents, but I was wondering if any of the "construction software" out there is worth it.(timberline, primavera,etc.)
Any inf would be greatly appreciated.
