After the takeoff is finished and it is time to write a proposal. It is good to include alternate pricings like Value Engineering. It would be extremely helpful to be able to toggle all materials used on a project between different vendors to reveal the cost savings. Versus manually changing all the materials or doing on spreadsheet or just re doing the whole takeoff using the alternate materials.
Example:
I am using zzTakeoff for doing Commercial Paint Estimates.
I want to be able to price my projects with both Sherwin Williams and PPC simultaneously so that I can share value engineering with our clients and confirm best pricing.
While this is easy to do with zzTakeoff using spreadsheets. I would like to be able to do it all on zzTakeoff.
I want to be able to see my full estimate price with material and labor and be able to switch every product at once with one click to show the other vendors pricings.
Thank you ZZ!!
I have some people build two set of assemblies(items) inside the takeoff property and then have a toggle at the project level. The toggle would switch between one or the other assemblies. Same takeoff qty's just different parts, the one that was toggled off would have zero qty's and the zeros get filtered out in the reports.
Hope this helps.
Thank you! That is perfect!
