Hello,

       I have been working in the building materials industry for over 20 years, with experience in; estimating, quoting, and selling building materials at all levels of the industry -  Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Retail sales, Contractor sales, Wholesale Product Management, and Manufacturer Representation. 

      Over the years I have learned that; a good project budget always starts with a accurate building materials list. And, unless you are an experienced contractor or know how to read and understand blueprints; you will need to rely on someone else to create these lists for you. If you are building a home; this person would most likely be a salesperson at your local lumber yard or your contractor. However, most of these salespeople and contractors rely on estimating software for generating a building materials list.

      I have found most estimating software to be limited to the level of the experience of the person using it. Software can also be expensive and if you are using it only once or twice? - Not very cost effective. The lists we generate do not use any estimating software programs. We create materials lists in an easy to use Excel spread sheet form - that anyone in the building industry can understand and generate competitive quotes for your project's budget.

      At Snap Estimating, we offer professional building materials lists that are custom to your needs and your project. So, whether you are a home-builder, salesperson, contractor, owner-builder, designer, or architect; put yourself in control of your project and your budget by contacting us today about your custom building materials list.

Thank you,
