Looking to hire help in creating a custom construction estimating tool


I run a custom design build remodeling company. I have created a prototype of an estimating tool in excel, but it is too limited for our needs. I am wondering if Airtable is the answer.

The estimating tool will tool will require several bases that could build one on another.
-Common Items
-Assemblies of items into unit costing
-Gathering of unit costs with take off into estimated
-Ability to gather, summarize and parse the costs by building div and type.

We don’t need an estimating software to run the business; we have that in CoConstuct and other industry standard applications. We just need a place to store and access our custom data for estimating.

I can provide a more detailed explanation and examples of the data sets and the needed output.
We are interested in a developer who will work with us in a scrum framework.

I have been searching for several years for a solution, but have yet to find anything with the specific functionality I need that is not a huge enterprise system.

If you are interested please message me at timothy@bluestemconstuction.com, or on this forum. You can see what we do at. Www.bluestemconstruction.com

Best regards,

Timothy Ferraro

Airtable can better organize your data, but for complicated cost breaks and fine grained takeoffs, it is hard to handle. Having already committed to industry standard software, a more flexible solution a custom integration can be quicker and less hassle. Considering these best construction estimating softwares that can grow might be the longer-term winner.
