Program Title:  PC-ESTIMATOR version 2.72 (Disk 1 of 2)
PC-SIG version 1

PC-ESTIMATOR helps you estimate building costs for projects of all sizes
and kinds, from skyscrapers to kitchen remodeling.  Developed by
construction professionals, the program can be changed to be as big or
small, as complex or simple as you want.  The bottom line is custom cost
estimates with your markup and choice of detail included.

You begin with pull down menus, lots of help and documentation and
sample files.  You build material price lists and cost data that keeps
accumulating.  The databases are unlimited, growing as your application
grows.  They include markups, labor and equipment rates, standard cost
codes and vendor tracking.  You can have different markups for
individual estimates or multiple estimates carried out simultaneously.

The program produces reports for several levels of detail in estimates
including itemized and built-in markup applications, and allows for
"what if" type analyses.  An on-screen takeoff calculator with memory is
available at the touch of a function key.  The data files are 100 per
cent compatible with dBase III+ application programs and are
translatable by Lotus and Symphony.  Lookup windows allow you to view
any file at any time.

Wage rates for a number of construction trades are included with the
program.  They are tied to 4-digit codes commonly used by the
construction industry.  Based on union rates, they are the average of
several major U.S. cities and can easily be customized to fit your area.

This is the first of the two-disk program.  Both are needed to run
PC-ESTIMATOR.  Disk #1384 is the second disk in the set and contains the
data files for the program.
