Do you use HCSS or B2W? Let's talk: Estimating & Takeoff Report Templates

We are adding excel spreadsheet capability to our commands and that could enable us to add templates (or additional spreadsheet tabs) in a command that would show areas, lengths, counts, volumes, and even bid items in a format that could help you improve speed & efficiency in estimating & takeoffs.

For example: if you have a B2W estimate template or HCSS estimating template in spreadsheet format and would like to share it, we could take a look at it and if there’s a general format that makes sense and helps make your life easier, would it be worth adding to our takeoff or estimating reports?

I would vote for a completely customizable report that is simpler to customize than the native TBC reports.

Do you have an example format in excel or PDF you could send us?

I sent a Carlson example to support.

I’d like to be able to generate reports that match the major takeoff software reports (Carlson, Agtek, etc). But more importantly, I don’t want to have to spend 5 minutes manually deleting junk I don’t need every time I run a report. If it was simpler to create and edit a report template, we could more easily create a report template showing only the info required and not all the other default tables in the TBC default reports.

Agtek report is what the chief estimator wanted the TBC report to look like when I did estimating.
