**What do you like best about GeneralCOST Estimator?**

This Excel Addin is pre-populated with many unit cost items which could easily have an inflator applied to them for future use.

**What do you dislike about GeneralCOST Estimator?**

It is limited in that it only supports the 16 divisions of CSI Masterformat and is no longer consistent with typical commercial design and construction.

**Recommendations to others considering GeneralCOST Estimator:**

This is an easy to use product for light commercial or residential projects.  I've used it to calculate buildouts of commercial lease spaces

**What problems is GeneralCOST Estimator solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This is a good tool for smaller General Contractor Design/Build work where the specification sections would not pose a significant limitation.
