Method and computer program for estimating project costs and time factors and facilitating management of remodeling and construction projects

摘要

A method and computer program for estimating project costs and time factors and facilitating project management, wherein the project concerns remodeling or construction or a similar endeavor, and the management thereof involves estimating material and labor costs for each phase of the project; contract generation incorporating the estimate, special terms or conditions, and standard contract language; and procurement of materials and services, including subcontractor services, and scheduling of deliveries and labor, including hourly workers. The computer program comprises a number of cross-platform, fully-integrated subprograms and databases, including an Estimator Subprogram; a Materials Database; a Contract Subprogram; a Production Subprogram; a Worker Database; a Subcontractor Database; and a Vendor Database. Each subprogram is operable to, as needed import and incorporate data entered into or generated by the other subprograms and databases.
