Start with a conceptual estimate and then expand each underlying level of detail as you see fit to meet the needs of each particular project.

Recalculate Changes Easily - Have you ever run into this problem? An architect sends you revised plans after the takeoff has been finished. Now you must spend late nights at the office changing the bid to match the revised plans and meet the bidding deadline.

		With eCaliper, you can recall the sections of the estimate that have been affected.
		Then make the applicable modifications and choose where to apply those modifications globally.
		Once complete, it's easy to recalculate the entire estimate accordingly.

Re-Use Assemblies Over and Over - Once created, assemblies can be used as often as you would like with any estimate.

		With nested assemblies, the experience of the expert estimator can be imbedded in each level of the assembly detail.
		Costly omissions and errors are reduced as estimates are generated directly from takeoffs.
		Helps new estimators become productive more quickly.

Expand Assemblies on a Mass Basis - This capability allows you to do a quick quantity takeoff of your assemblies.

		Enter the detail for one assembly.
		Apply all of those parameter values to the similar assemblies throughout the estimate.
		Create hundreds of takeoff lines in minutes.
