DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY

Although BHS, Inc. has taken great care in the preparation of BHSestimator (the software), NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED are made. BHS, Inc. specifically and expressly DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE with respect to BHSestimator and its use. In no event shall BHS, Inc. be liable for ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES sustained or suffered by the user in connection with or arising out of the use, furnishing or performance of BHSestimator.

BHS, Inc. warrants that its Database and Database Updates, which are separate and apart from BHSestimator, contain the most current pricing available. The Database pricing with BHSestimator is current as of the date on the update. Pricing updates will be furnished separately from BHSestimator only to subscribers of the BHSestimator Database Update service. However, BHS, Inc. assumes no responsibility or liability for any prices used by a user of the BHSestimator. All pricing should be checked against local suppliers.

WARNING! BHS, Inc. is not responsible for lost physical keys. If a loss should occur, a replacement key is available for the purchase price of the BHSestimator. Damaged keys can be replaced at a cost dependent on the type of key, the age of the key, and the status of the customer’s Annual Site. Version 7 of the BHSestimator eliminated the need for physical security keys.


Service Contract

The BHSestimator is a tool designed to assist the professional estimator in preparing fast, accurate, high-quality estimates. There are four basic steps to produce an accurate estimate takeoff:

  • Material Takeoff: An estimate of the actual material required accomplishing the job being estimated.
  • Item Pricing: An estimate of the cost of each item from the material takeoff.
  • Item Laboring: An estimate of the time required for installation of each item from the material takeoff.
  • Item Extensions: The sum of all the prices and labor from the material takeoff.

BHSestimator provides considerable information for determining actual costs and profit margins. It does not compromise the material takeoff abilities of the professional estimator; rather it provides a fast and accurate vehicle to generate job takeoff and labor costs. Bid summary and recap generations are done easily and accurately with the BHSestimator package.

BHSestimator automatically prices all items based on current market prices (assuming that the individual user’s database has been kept current). It will apply labor units for each item from the database at the same time. Both the price and labor are easily modified; simply enter the requirements for each item and BHSestimator will perform the extensions.

With BHSestimator, bids are generated item by item and/or with assemblies. Regardless of the estimating method used, the ability to add, delete, and modify each item in a bid is done with considerable ease.

Finally, the user has the capability of generating and modifying the estimate cover sheet. As the estimate is built, the user can easily follow and correct the result of the bottom line. A facility is provided to allow the user to activate or deactivate pages of the estimate, thus providing "what if" capability. As a result, an accurate estimate is produced in a fraction of the time it would have taken using alternate methods.
