One of the most accurate estimating software, but it would be fantastic if they added support for multiple measurement units.
One of the most accurate estimating software, but it would be fantastic if they added support for multiple measurement units.
Pros
RSmeans has provided us with various estimating levels, including a square foot estimate at the early phase of the project during the feasibility study, an assembly estimate during the schematic stage, and a unit price for a detailed assessment. What I admire the most is the robust integration with MS Excel, which helps export reports and makes editing much more accessible!
Cons
It works solely in imperial units, which I think is downright stupid. Every user must have the option to operate in either imperial units or metric units because there is no feature in the software that converts between them.

Great resource to have

Pros
Our team has found it very easy to use especially after switching from e-books. It is easier to find information and overall a great experience.
Cons
There are so many customizable packages but not a single one which contain exactly the features you need. Either you end up with extra features or some missing ones.

Pros
My main usage is maintenance services and I use it to estimate material costs and manhour needs. It also shows preventive maintenance needs of items.
Cons
Units are imperial with this software. A simple toggle could be included that helps you covert from imperial to metric whenever you need.
