2008 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator by James A. Thomson (2007, Package)

First of all I use Fast Pipe and Fast Duct estimating software also which is a very costly software compared to National. The difference is in detail and field experience of the user. Having been in the trades since 1964 and Have a master plumbing license since 1974 has taught me the hands on way of estimating through itemized totals and fair labor added with profit and overhead,taxes and hopefully not forgetting something. The National program helps immensely in having a easy format which you can yourself change to fit your labor rates and job cost overhead. I will continue to use as long as I still am estimating. You have to be sure to save any changes as they will be deleted at automatic updates and the default files will remain. You just have to work with and adjust it to conform to your specific needs. It gets as useful and helpful as you make it since you are the main bearing in the flywheel. If you are still using old fashion methods of estimating then you need to try this to help speed up and make your estimates more accurate. I like it and I like John McCain but do not expect everybody to see everything the way I do. Anyway I bought this program 1- I need it 2- I like it 3- It works better each time you use it and understand it.4- Saves time and mistakes= MONEY! thanks for letting me voice my opinion of this fine product.
