I have been searching for this for 10 years.

I am a small remodeling contractor and have been looking for this software for close to ten years. For years the only software available for macs needed emulating software and was awful. Then a number of products came along for use on the mac OS and were similarly deficient in aestetics but more importantly in useablility. Then I looked at web hosted software and found it to be not well thought out, takes a huge amount of effort to get customized to your needs, and was generally cost prohibitive. I tried at least 20 products before giving up and designing a spreadsheat system of my own. This system was ok but not great at creating new estimates quickly because I had to use the last estimate as a template and take out all the parts I did not need and add new ones. Also this did not update costs. I have so far purchased one cost book for Construction Cost Estimator to compare my methods to theirs and it was worth the price. I will probably do a mix of creating myown costbook and using the purchased one, so some costs I will have to update on my own. This is the first estimating software I have seen that has that Apple UI that makes the estimating process intuitive, concise, and highly customizable. I have only had this software for a week and don’t want to sound like too much of a fanboy, but I am very impressed so far. I will give a follow up to this in six months or so. I almost forgot, I had a process question about deleting an existing projcet and the help section includes a place to contact support. I was emailed back with the answer in less than an hour. The cost for this product is beyond modest for its capabilities.
