Hey all, I just joined this forum and wanted to take a second to introduce myself plus ask a quick question.
I recently left the world of big commercial to work with my father on the residential level. He has been a one man show for 20+ years and has been what I would consider successful (making good money, still in business, most importantly working for himself). He mainly does spec homes and custom homes, but remodels when he has some down time. I did project management for a big GC (the smallest project I worked on was $20M) for 6 years and decided now was the right opportunity to move on and start working with my father and hopefully set the path for a bright, self-employed future.
My question is, do you guys have any recommendations on a good estimating software. I'm trying to keep it under $200. From the research I did, I'm leaning towards RS Means Online, but any input would be greatly appreciated.
Also, any other advice would be welcome as well! I look forward to browsing this forum daily and learning a lot!
