Lyne Fife here with evergreen technology here to introduce to you the Excel estimating software package for painting contractors there are seven and different modules you get with this package which basically means seven different ways you can go about giving an estimate for interior and exterior projects let's take a look at our most popular one here we call it the residential module it looks like this basically it's so simple once you have your database put in there which is the in the light green or light blue color depending on how your screens looking at it once you have that set up for a typical project then you can just come and stand in front of the house and say let's say this thing is o 60 feet wide from side to side and from front to back it's 40 feet it's only a single story so it's only ten feet high and then we have a count of 12 windows and say two doors we're going to paint that's all there is to it just don't fight numbers and boom you've got your price automatic based on the defaults that you have in there for most of the time of course you can come down here to the column G down here at the bottom and take a look at the hours it's giving you and adjust those hours specific to that job by changing your production rates in column F on the fly the all the software comes with instructions to explain to you exactly how each one of these work and how you can modify the results benefits it has the field budget sheet that goes out to the field letting them know exactly the quantity that you've measured and they can keep track of how many actual hours they spent on each line item so that you can eventually fine-tune your production rates and get this dialed into dead-on accurate estimate it also gives you a material checklist for the body you need 14 gallons windows 1 gallons etc and you can track if you order them if you have some color samples that need to be submitted and approved how many you've ordered in any notes which would include your colors it also has an interior feature the interior works where we already have the rooms listed for you and you would just put in the length of the room here in column E what's the width of the room what's the height of the room in column G and it will automatically calculate for you the square footage you would enter the doors the windows if you have base included then you can put and the several other items things we go up to the right here it will automatically calculate your interior as well adding the hours here for your field budget sheet and also the material also generates an automatic proposal sheet the automatic proposal sheet will give you a list of exactly what's included and allow you to put in your payment schedule where you can put in ten percent deposit with a 50 percent upon half complete the balance and keep track of out for you that's one of the most popular ones we also have another one here that in case you're used to doing by unit price the take off sheet looks a little different where you walk around the house where you would look at the front of the house and put in the quantities here and then go to the right side of the house the back of the house and the left of the house and once you've entered in your quantities just by walking on the house it will automatically fill in the pricing sheet for you here and you can put in what you want to charge per square foot if you're used to doing it that way and by the square foot price and how many coats you put in there and it will automatically backward calculate everything to show you how many hours that represents and again you can adjust the unit price to hit whatever hours you want it has the surface items up at the top and it has count items down here at the bottom and also gives you it has an alternate thing where you can put in an alternate price you can have proposal sheet we can automatically generate that it also has a scope of work automatically generated for you a field budget for the field your materials checklist like you've seen on the other one and it has a unit price calculation thing so that you can put in what is the item how much quantity is it a square foot or each item and it will automatically calculate for you a unit price you will need based on your feel of how many hours you need based on a production rate now by the way anytime you can pause on any one of these screens if you want to go back to the beginning and pause on any one of these screenshots you can take a closer look at it and evaluate more closely with the features are we also have cabinets system setup here where all you need to do is to put in the lineal footage of the cabinet in this column B and it will automatically keep track of how many hours is needed based on labeling the hardware loading into the band travel to the shop etc etc so much for that one next one that's most popularly used is one it's where people like they fit by the hour here they would type in what they would typically have most of the times that that is your default all you have to do is plug in the quantity plug in how many hours you want for each step and the rest of it is automatically calculated showing you what the production rate is that you're using for those items proposal sheet automatically generated again the scope of work automatically generated feel the budget sheet automatically generated and also your materials tracking system as well in this one another one is popular this is the small jobs where you can just type in the surface but you want what the quantity is how many hours you want and the spread rate you want use for the materials similar to doing it by the hour but just a little bit different and also has all the features of the field like the chief materials the automatic proposal and the rest of the bells and whistles the last one here at the second last one for those people who are already using an automated plan Swift like type software that does estimating from blueprints this is one we have the where you can do a site bid go to the job site and type in the information and the white columns here and for the production rates at the end and it will automatically generate for you the same export the plan swift does so then on the back end you can have all the bells and whistles at plan so it gives you on its takeoff sheet as well the last one here is one we like in case you would like to walk your customers through the process of how it comes to coming up with a price educating the customer as you go ask the customer how many square feet is your home how many levels do you have trim around the windows norwich frames the roof overhang ask them all these questions and fill in the blanks and it starts by calculating the gallons of paint needed based on what they've said they want to have done for the material they can select what quality of material they want for the prep what items of prep do they want including the LED abatement requirements there if the house is pre-1978 the labor do you want to have cheap labor or expensive labor and that cost difference over here now how that affects the price and then finally the estimate page which gives them the total price this is great for like a home and garden show punk show booth where you can actually educate the customers on how much it will take the Koster to paint their house on a ballpark frame gather the crowds they're going to have people standing in line saying do me next that's why this one was generated so a quick summary again go back and check out
