Self Work Estimating

This week our self work concrete assemblies moved into zzTakeoff. LinkedIn Post here. LINK Draw a spread footing and most of the estimate comes with it: labor hours, material, equipment, cost codes, production rates. Right on the takeoff line!

We're one step from finishing the whole self work estimate without leaving the takeoff. Here's what's missing:

1. Crews and wages. Build a crew, set wage rates per project, and let labor items price from the crew.

2. Markups. Project level markups by cost type, plus fee.

3. Grouping and sorting. Roll up by cost code, WBS, level or bid package.

4. Reports. Labor hours, crew days and cost by code. Something an estimator can sign off on.

5. Snapshots. Freeze the estimate at each milestone (SD, DD, GMP, bid day) so we can always go back and see what we carried.

Today we are still on Sage and some folks are starting to export to Excel to finish. It works. But quantities and pricing shouldn't live in two places.

Assemblies already came home. Let's bring the whole self work estimate with them. 🎺

Is this on the roadmap? Happy to screen share our setup and test anything you've got.
