Why Estimate Rocket?
Quick Estimates
Estimate Rocket allows an estimator to quickly capture the details of a project using a flexible estimating process and to deliver a proposal for electronic signature on the spot.
The following allow for the process to be quick:
- Pulling items from a library of services that allow the estimator to quickly choose and set a price for the specific scope of work.
- Organizing the item library to be job type specific to save the estimator time.
- Allows for any estimating technique:
- General items
- Time and material based scope of work
- Site measurement type entries
- The library of items can be setup with these different type of items and the items can be mixed across the different methods within the same estimate.

General Item

The general line items can be stored in your item library the same way other items are stored for quick addition to a project.
