Pre-installed worksheet password protection, so you won't delete formulas by mistake.

It is not linked to a database system and does not require advanced programming knowledge.
Input only the fields you need, line by line, and get a quote within SECONDS.

What sets this worksheet apart?

Most forms set in place a profit margin % at the end of the estimating form. This is different!
You know that you're not getting a great product quote from some reps or labor shops, right? Use this form to set lower profit margins % per those individual products, not all the products in your bid! Don't over load your bid with a high profit margin, because of a few highly priced items. Customize each line item profit margin - and get an edge on your bid!
This form allows to assign INDIVIDUAL profit margin % to each product and labor cost!

Who will use this at my office?

Everyone! But importantly the owner, estimator, project manager, salesman and admin.
Estimator will start preparing it, inputting the material descriptions, quantities, etc.
Salesman will input dollar values, for materials/labor, and print ready bid proposals.
Owner typically reviews and adjusts the profit margins, as a last look.
Project manager will run the job and adjust to keep jobs in balance.
Admin will print out the job, line up for material submittals, prep folders, etc.
An ongoing process between departments... where everyone uses it.
