8/3/2019 Job Estimate Program

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/job-estimate-program 1/5

Congratulationson purchasing Eazi-Est, the simple and easy to use estimating

program.It will no doubt save you many hours of paperwork and endless punching numbers on

a calculator.

The first thing I would recommend that you do is make a master copy of this program

and save it in another folder on your computer and call it "Eazi-Est Master Copy" or something similar. This is simply a precaution should you

accidentally delete the file by mistake.

Remember to save your work every 5 - 10 minutes. It is very easy to get engrossed in your estimate and forget to save it.

REMEMBER: Enable macros so the program will calculate the totals correctly.

The next step would be to click on "File" and then "Save As" and name your estimate something relevant, like Mr Smith New House

and save it. It would also be a good idea to create a folder called "Estimates" and you can then save all you estimates to this folder for easy fin

You can then go back to the estimate if you are pricing a similar contract and change the details to suit and save again using the new projectname.

InstructionsYou may move from worksheet to worksheet by clicking on the dark blue tabs located at the bottom of each worksheet.

You can return to the instruction page at any time by Clicking on the "Instructions" button at the top of each page.

To create a new estimate, click on the Create Estimate button above.

You will then be taken to the estimate page. You can "Rename" the Estimate tab by right clicking on your mouse button on the tab labelled

estimate at the bottom of the screen and select Rename. You can then enter in the name of the section you want to create.

You may need to create more than one section when doing an estimate so you can Create a new section by clicking once on the

Create Section button. When you type in the name for the new section it will automatically be added to the tabs at the bottom of the page.

You can easily navigate between each section by simply clicking on the tabs.

Each section you create will be totalled up in the Total Summary page.

On the Total Summary page you will also see a representation of your estimate as a pie chart for easy analysis.
