Fast Estimate provides you with powerful tools such as Job templates with easy data navigation, fully annotatable nested dim sheets to drill down into, analysis of rates right on the screen as you work with the ability to alter items as you go. The Fast Estimate database allows you to create user definable resources and a virtually unlimited amount of custom library of items along with composite resources and items.

Fast Estimate allows the import of data from Excel that can easily be matched to your existing item resource library, combined with powerful navigation, editing and mark-up tools along with links to external data.
