"I believe I saved at least..."
In 1994 Patrick went out of his way to write us this letter...
Westside Place
2714 9th Street
Berkeley, CA 94710
I used Turbo on a $1.7 million multi-unit live/work building.
I believe I saved at least $10,000 in my negotiations with the builders, largely because of the clarity added to the bidding process by the use of this program.
First, it is easy to learn and use, and that's a big advantage over the estimating programs I've investigated.
Second, it is easy to customize according to whatever format one wishes. This is particularly important since many contractors and banks use different formats for their estimating.
Third, the support you have provided has been very helpful.

Features Builders Requested
We have been listening to our customers from the very start and added the features they've wanted to estimate faster & better
Hit A Target Figure
Our Markup feature lets builders fine-tune their target figures in 10 different ways — behind the scenes — without changing their work.
"I want to be able to hit a target figure"
Frank Smith explained that he was pretty sure he knew where the low and high bids would fall and that he wanted to position his bid in the middle.
He asked if there was any way Turbo Estimator could fine-tune his estimates behind-the-scenes so that he didn't have to do the work of adjusting each item individually.
React To Changing Material Prices
Builders need to change their estimate prices quickly when lumber prices are climbing.
"The ability to markup my "Lumber/Siding" section by 5% to meet rising lumber prices saved me a lot of time when I was really busy after Katrina"
Negotiate Contracts
You can individualize each each section — marking up or marking down the totals by a percent using Hidden Markup.
"My client said he'd sign if I could reduce the total by $2,500."
"The markup feature saved me so much time because I didn't have to re-do my work."
— Matt M. Vashon, WA
Show or Hide
Contingency, Profit & Overhead
Some builders want to show contingency and profit & overhead to their clients, others want it hidden behind the scenes.
Turbo Estimator supports both. The markup feature makes percent changes behind the scenes. Percent items show them up front.
"It's fast. It's flexible."
"I've seen letters from remodelers praising the program's ease and the responsive tone of the company."
"This is a software program for professionals."
