Asked on Breaktime – nobody seems interested in software

| Posted in Project Plans/CAD Software on
I’m looking for software that I can use for estimating and cost tracking. I searched the archives and the last discussion I found was from 2004. I worked as a carpentry project manager for 5 yrs. at the end of the eighties; so I’m used to doing a line by line materials/labor estimating. But it’s time to put down the pencil and avail myself of 21st century technology. Even though I have good programming skills I don’t have the time. Please help me catch up. Thanks, good to be back.
p.s. For both remodeling and custom woodwork

check out SketchUp Pro
I don't have Pro (I fine the free version does my work) but do get emails on what is available. Look at SketchUp url
http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/estimator-sketchup?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRonsq7NZKXonjHpfsX57egtUaexlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4ATspmI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFTLTAMaNv0LgOXxA%3D
for the ESTIMATOR Extension.
There is another Extension called PLUSSPEC that supposedly helps with estimating.
