Estimate

Using the Estimate function will open up an Excel based spreadsheet showing you common estimate values like
sq. footage, perimeter, costs based on different edge treatments as well as a total cost of the job. These numbers
can be used for customer quotes or just for internal estimations of cost per job.

First you will see the Estimate/Print Details page where you can set up your Estimate. You can choose to print the
basic Estimate or you can add the Summary, Estimate and Pages.
