I need a program to estimate material for home construction
Cinder blocks per square foot, concrete, etc.
I have 17 years experience in the residential construction
industry. I have developed several html & javascript applications that I
would be willing to sell to you. I also have an excel spread sheet that
will do what you are asking. If it has anything to do with calculating
materials, I can provide it to you in the format you need. I will gladly
sell these to you. Contact me. My id is pytelfrank. Ask any question you
like. I can handle personal or commercial applications. I also have a spreadsheet that will calculate on 15 different tabs by entering information into one slot. Q = A / A(cb).
These are a few options that might work for you; Ask ur local
building supply store about a ''Contractors Calculator''. They have
formulas & functions for just about everthing in construction.
Look for a program titled ''Floorplan Plus v.xx''. I used it years ago
but don't know if it is still available. The version I used didn't have
material estimates but that was more than ten years ago. It is something
of a ''do-it-yourselfer's'''or poormans CAD. Was only $13 retail when I bought it. ..If you are in the construction business,.. ''AutoCAD LT'' might be a good solution for you. Retail price is in the $600 - $700 range so if you are just working on ur own home check Ebay auctions for a second hand version. I have seen software titles there (in exc. cond.) for 5% - 10% of retail price or less. AutoCAD is a very complex & in-depth application & you might need a college course to fully utilize it. Hope this was helpful :=) PS I just did a web search for FloorPlan Plus. It is still available ''FloorPlan Plus 3D express version 8'' includes material estimator $17.97 retail I was thrilled to see it is still in stores because it is an excellent program!!! I literally earned about $12,000 in pay raises using it. Best thirteen bucks I will ever spend.
