With Intuit Master Builder Power Takeoff, estimating is fast, accurate, and fully integrated into Scheduling, Project Management and Accounting. By combining the best features of databases and spreadsheets, we have developed the easiest assembly estimating system on the market.

When your estimate is complete, your proposal, budget, RFQ and purchase orders can be created with a single mouse click

Global variables, formulas and templates make your estimating process easier and more accurate. You can selectively factor in cost increases and lock prices to prevent accidental edits, highlight an item with a visual flag, and add notes for clarity. Windows functionality (such as cut, copy and paste) allows you to import blocks of information from other estimates with just a few clicks of the mouse. All grids are Excel compatible — you won’t have to learn a new interface if you have been using spreadsheets.

Once the takeoff is complete, the budget, proposal, requests for proposals, purchase orders and subcontracts are easily generated. You can even fax them directly to your subs and suppliers without printing them out.

With the data import feature, you can import a parts list, update prices directly from your suppliers, or use one of our free parts lists to build your database immediately. Parts lists and price updates also can be imported from the Trade Service Corporation database, and sales tax can be factored in based on your local taxing district.

Specialty Trade Estimating Databases

Our pre- built databases include parts and assemblies for specialty trades including plumbing, electrical, plastering, tenant improvement and drywall.  Each includes thousands of material items and hundreds of assemblies that include labor, materials subcontract and equipment items.
