HeavyBid Internal Spreadsheet
If I was asked what feature of HeavyBid is under utilized by users the answer would be easy. It is the internal spreadsheet found in SETUP>SPREADSHEETS (located on the System side). This spreadsheet program is Excel like but is very efficient and can be linked to cells in HeavyBid. What I like is that you can create a quick spreadsheet on the fly for a quick takeoff/calculation and it will reside in the activity for future revisions during the life cycle of the estimate. Existing Excel spreadsheets can be imported and a template created. To make it easy for estimators companies should standardized spreadsheets for use for all users. In future blogs I will start going over the features of this spreadsheet program but in terms of saving valuable hours this feature is a must use.
