About the BidMagic Takeoff Module |
|||||
The BidMagic Takeoff Module is an extension to the BidMagic Material Takeoff Software. It creates material takeoff lists, and updates material unit prices whenever lumberyard prices change. Material takeoffs are detailed reports of the materials you will need to purchase for each project, as well as the total quantities of those materials. You can make them for an entire construction project, or for just some parts. Material price updating uses a database of construction material prices to calculate the latest material unit prices. Whenever supplier prices change, enter the new numbers, and BidMagic will update the material unit costs used for future bids. The new prices are calculated with the help of material assemblies that list the actual materials that will be used in each unit price. You can add new materials, create new assemblies, or change any of the items that are already in the material price database or the assembly database. What you need to know to use the Takeoff Module To use the BidMagic Takeoff Module, you will use some basic features of the regular BidMagic estimating software that are already covered in the BidMagic Manual.

Use nudge buttons, pop-up buttons, and data entry fields (pages 23-29).
