Concrete Foundation Estimator 1.1.2

Concrete Foundation Estimator (CFE) is a robust productivity tool catering to contractors and owner-builders. It is crafted to streamline and expedite the process of estimating and bidding on concrete projects. With a backdrop of over 300 logic formulas silently optimizing your workflow, the free version of the CFE app excludes any advertisements, albeit with certain feature limitations.

The primary objective of this application is to significantly reduce estimating time from 2-4 hours to a mere 5-10 minutes, consequently boosting sales, enhancing daily estimate outputs, removing uncertainties, and cutting down the time spent on creating material take-off lists for suppliers.

The CFE app generates professional, modifiable, and user-friendly construction bids, estimates, and quotes covering a wide range of elements:

• Concrete demolition of existing slabs and footings
• Excavation volume and costs involving manual labor or machinery
• Hauling and dumping fees for extracted soil and crushed concrete
• Materials cost and volume for footings, stem walls, piers, slabs, reinforcement, shear walls, anchor bolts, all thread retrofits, ready-mix concrete or concrete in bags
• Labor costs for piers, reinforcement assembly, and concrete pouring
• Concrete pumping costs
• Adjustable workman's compensation rates
• Sales tax for materials in your area
• Job overheads
• Custom fields for additional estimate details

All computations are performed discreetly in the background with customizable settings, tutorials, support features, and free upgrades offered in the paid version of the app.

This application is tailored to serve homeowners, contractors, and individuals involved in building construction projects. By effortlessly inputting engineering plan details, users can swiftly generate highly detailed estimates that can be shared or bid upon through multiple formats:

1. Email quotes within the app in PDF format
2. Convert estimates to Excel for customized outputs
3. Email material lists to suppliers

CFE caters to both hands-on builders and seasoned professionals alike. For novices, it provides an educational tool for accurate foundation estimates, while for experts it offers immense time-saving capabilities resulting in comprehensive estimates being provided to clients promptly. Homeowners and owner-builders benefit from the ability to compare contractor quotes efficiently.

The app is accompanied by built-in tutorials that guide users on extracting values from blueprints along with illustrated explanations for each project section. Thanks to preset settings related to labor and material costs within CFE, users can avoid redundant data entry with the flexibility of customizing prices based on individual preferences.

Future versions of the app are poised to facilitate automatic updates of material costs based on zip codes and local suppliers. Furthermore, an integrated portfolio page retains past projects for swift retrieval, revision, and creation of detailed quotes or editable spreadsheets.

To complement this offering, an FAQ page on the developer's website stands ready to address queries and gather valuable feedback for upcoming enhancements.
