If you're a contractor looking for an inexpensive but powerful estimating program, try BID BIZ. This program is for those who bid jobs or estimate costs based on a number of different components, phase costs or various items. The program uses windows for viewing multiple records, editing, and various searches. All files have virtually unlimited record capacities. The program allows for two types of burden factors, direct and indirect. The direct burdens are applied directly to the unit amounts used in the estimate listings. This can be useful for such purposes as sales taxes or storage costs on materials, or other increased costs as needed. Indirect burdens are used as overhead factors and added at the end of the direct cost extensions. They are used for the normal taxes and insurance, bond premiums, general overhead, etc. The program allows you to enter notes and comments with various factors used in estimating. It also makes it easy to compare between the different alternatives you have to do a job. PC-SIG 1030D East Duane Avenue Sunnyvale Ca. 94086 (408) 730-9291 (c) Copyright 1989 PC-SIG, Inc.
