Estimating Unusual Construction Items

NOTE-- We replaced MacNail with Goldenseal construction estimating software back in 2000. There are still die-hard 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. It also calculates construction quantities-- Goldenseal has dimension calculators that work almost the same as the Excel formulas in MacNail.

Construction Dimension Quantities

The MacNail construction estimating software automatically calculates unit quantities based on the measurements typed into Dimensions. Our formulas will be accurate for most conditions.

Some construction details can throw off the calculations. The following unusual construction items are described in this section:

* Attics
* Cathedral ceilings
* Crawl spaces
* Knee walls and pass-throughs
* Multiple stories
* Partially finished walls
* Sloped ceilings
* Tile countertops
* Unusual roofs
