CFE Advanced Estimating Worksheet

CFE Estimating (CFE - Advanced Estimating Worksheet) is Windows estimating software built by commercial flooring estimators for commercial flooring contractors. It takes the estimate sheet estimators already know, with takeoff quantities, labor, material, freight, prep and adhesive, and turns it into a fast desktop app that builds the bid, the man days and the commission from the same numbers. Type your quantities and unit costs into the Estimate Quote sheet and CFE Estimating calculates material quantities with attic stock, labor and material subtotals, gross profit by line, and a Total Proposal Price that includes sub-contractors, additional and miscellaneous costs, tax, performance bond, contingency and burden. Switch between Mark-up and Margin with one click and every GP % follows. A Profit Breakdown shows where the money is made: labor, material, sub-contractors and extras. The same estimate drives the rest of the job. Project Man Days pulls each line from the estimate and applies your Man Day Rates to show the crew days on the job. The Labor Rate Calculator works out in-house and sub-contractor rates, including overtime and prevailing wage. The Sales Commission calculator shows what each salesman earns, including tiered incentives. Change Orders keep their own lines and totals, and the estimate shows the total with change orders. The Dashboard and Bid Tracker list every bid with its number, project, GC, due date, amount and status, so you can see what is out and what is won. Every save is a new version, autosave runs every 30 seconds, and estimates can be saved as PDF or exported to CSV. A finished SAMPLE estimate shows how a real bid comes together. CFE Estimating runs on Windows 10 and 11 and keeps your estimates on your own PC. Each estimator has their own sign-in, the first account is the Admin, and team licenses let one company manage several seats from one subscription. Plans start at $69.99 a month, with savings on 6- and 12-month plans. Every plan starts with a free 30-day trial: download CFE Estimating from www.commercialflooringestimating.com.

CooperBuild AI

CooperBuild AI is construction software for small to mid-size general contractors that runs estimating, submittals, pay applications, CRM, vendor quotes and bid comparison, and AI agents in one workspace.

Web, iOS and Android apps are available.

CostMate

CostMate is estimating software for New Zealand residential builders — solo operators and small crews pricing renovations, decks, bathrooms, fences and additions. You pick the job type and describe the work. CostMate returns a structured estimate: the materials with quantities, the labour broken into phases and hours, and the assumptions and exclusions worth putting in front of a client. Every material line shows which supplier the price came from and when it was last updated, so you can check a number before you put your name on it. The quantities come from a rules engine, not a language model. Every quantity, price, labour hour and modifier is computed by rules; the language model writes only the narrative — the scope summary, assumptions and exclusions — and is fenced off from the numbers in code. Built in Auckland. NZD pricing, and NZ Building Code scope checks included for review.
