Library Estimate Limitations with Spreadsheets
New Users, Productivity, Setup HeavyBid
I really encourage estimators to use the internal spreadsheet in HeavyBid. This feature has improved over the last four years and can increase an estimator’s productivity and accuracy. A Library estimate is one option where the estimator just copies over to their current estimate particular bid items from a Library estimate. However the HCSS internal spreadsheet if used in the Library estimate will not copy over to the current estimate. I understand the programmers dilemma to copying over a bid item where the quantity changes and the spreadsheet quantities are no longer correct. So if a estimator is considering setting up a Library estimate where the internal spreadsheet is used they need to consider the limitations.
