BHSestimator® ships with a complete database of material and assemblies for electrical contractors. However, the database is customizable for any field of estimating.
The Material Database contains three cost and three labor columns. Material is indexed and can be searched and sorted by Part Number, Description Code, Phase of Construction, or UPC number.
The Material Database pricing can be updated from multiple sources (BHS, local supply houses and national pricing services).
The BHS Material Pricing Update is provided with your Annual Site Service Contract at no additional cost. The Material Pricing Update can also be purchased separately.
Database pricing, labor or phasing can also be updated “on the fly” from within an estimate.
Searching filters assist users in easily finding materials they need. Items not found within the database can be added easily.
Assemblies consist of groupings of materials and other assemblies. Assemblies can be nested within each other to aid the user in using smaller assemblies to build larger assemblies
Material and assemblies can be chained and presented in logical order during the estimating process.
Range Adjust feature allows you to make bulk changes to the database or to copy/move sections, adjust price or labor parameters, changing almost anything in the database.
