Estimating Tile Countertops

NOTE-- Our new Goldenseal construction estimating software replaced MacNail back in 2000. There are still quite a few MacNail users, so we keep the manuals online for their use! Goldenseal is an integrated program that also includes accounting, job costing and project management features. Most construction items are treated exactly the same in Goldenseal, as in MacNail.

Tile Countertop Estimates

When estimating kitchens in the MacNail construction estimating software, put typical countertops (Formica, Corian , butcher block, etc) in the Countertops portion of Specifications. We already include several types of standard countertops there.

For tile countertops: The carpentry work such as the base, should be entered under Countertops. Then you will need to add a line item for the actual tile work under Tile.
