BidMagic Material Takeoffs-- Directory

Material Takeoffs are a supplement to the main BidMagic construction estimating software.

NOTE-- We retired the BidMagic construction estimating software in 2001. It has been replaced by Goldenseal construction estimating software. We still include this BidMagic estimating software manual as a convenience for users of our older program. Many features are similar, in Goldenseal estimating.
