New Manuals We are in the process of rewriting and improving our software manuals. Instead of the current two manuals, we plan to have a general Basics manual, plus specialized manuals for accounting, estimating, payroll, project management, rentals and sales/inventory. They'll make info easier to find, and will also allow us to split Goldenseal into a wider range of specialty programs. The new Basics manual and Estimating manual are now ready in 'first draft' form. Click here to download them. These new manuals is still under development, so we haven't filled in cross references or the index yet, and haven't started on the separate Macintosh manual. Comments of any kind will be greatly appreciated! 2008 Training! Here are our planned training classes for the remainder of 2008: East Coast classes in Spring 2008:

Cost categories that are currently available on the
website-- General
Conditions | Site Preparation Coming soon-- Exterior Trim | Siding | Insulation | Drywall, Wall & Ceiling Finish NOTE-- The Goldenseal program already includes unit costs for the complete range of construction, plus special estimating files for painters, drywall contractors, framing contractors and others. You'll find them in the Starter Files but we don't have detailed writeups for them on the website yet. Do you have Custom Unit Costs?
