09/12/08 – Calculator Announcement

Currently, many commercial drywall contractors cannot justify the substantial investment necessary to acquire state-of-the-art construction estimating software.  To satisfy the current demand for a highly economical, yet very effective software product, I recently finished developing a very inexpensive alternative:

The Production Rate Calculator for Metal Stud Framing enables immediate access to metal stud framing data – all sizes, all gages: from 1-5/8"-25 gage through 16"-10 gage.   This product will enable you to quickly and accurately estimate the labor production rate for virtually any metal stud framing configuration.

This new software product employs the exclusive conceptual logic (also employed in DMI Database Software) to automatically adjust production rates based on your basic entries.  Labor unit pricing is also generated automatically.  Initial set-up takes just a few minutes with very simple, step-by-step instructions.
