I will do the programming and EC can have an Excel program that would hopefully be useful for both of us.
EC must have Excel on their computer.
Must be willing to talk / discuss via telephone.
I would buy the NECA labor book, but every local EC I have discussed with has told me they have never been helpful...too high.
Please PM for further discussion.
Why?
The time involved is not worth it in today's environment. You can buy an estimating program for the time it will take. But if you insist, then buy a Means book and the NECA manual. Just because the NECA manual is too high doesn't mean it isn't proportional. And I still use NECA labor rates for a difficult remodel.
I know what I don't know, and I know where to go to find it!
