MB Estimating Spreadsheet is an Excel-based, construction project cost estimating template, useful for any industry and any type of project. Project planners, managers, estimators, organizers, designers can have a huge benefit from it.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can be used for construction estimating, cost analysis, making bids, quotes, but also for evaluating different solutions in the construction project making phase – for example, one job can be done in several different ways, with different materials, machines, workforce types. With our spreadsheet, you can easily compare different project solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WHY SHOULD YOU USE IT?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Excel is commonly used for estimating because people love Excel\u2019s simplicity and all the useful tools it has.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Excel estimating models are lacking some crucial things that cost estimating software has \u2013 easily accessible database, the ability to divide the project into different phases, have a clear insight into every construction project\u2019s phase cost, and automatic report creation.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we created the MB Estimating Spreadsheet, which keeps all the Excel\u2019s simplicity and ability to use all magnificent tools within but also incorporates crucial options of common cost estimating software.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this template, you are able to create your own database of materials, labor, and machines and easily access multiple database entries at once and create estimates very quickly. You can create as many project phases as different sheets and have a clear insight into every project aspect. You can create reports automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this template, there is a database with around 200 usual construction materials and labors (DEMOLITION & SITEWORK, CONCRETE, MASONRY, METAL, STRUCTURAL WOOD, ROOF & INSULATION, DOORS AND WINDOWS, WALL AND FINISHES) with labor coefficients (man-hour) – amount of time needed for assembling one unit of material, which is useful if you want labor cost for assembling material automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can fill the database with over 1000000 rows of your construction material and labor items.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And keep using all Excel’s wonderful tools and enjoy its simplicity!<\/span><\/p>\n

After you open the file, you will see four tabs – Instructions, Database, Summary, and Stage 1. In the Instructions sheet, you have the information needed for working with the program. You can fill the database with over 1000000 rows of materials and labor. In the Summary sheet, you will have an overview of the results, and the main commands are executed from there. Stage 1 is a sheet where you will make an estimate for the first project phase (stage). You can create an unlimited number of phases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*****Suitable for Excel 2007 and more recent versions, used on Windows computers, and Excel for MAC 2016 and more recent. After the Excel for MAC update 16.72, there’s a chance that, when creating a report for the first time in a session and Word isn’t open, the initial instance of the Word document might be generated as an empty file. To address this, simply click on “Report” once more, and the report will be created normally.*****<\/span><\/p>\n

****Be sure to enable macros after you start the program if it is not already enabled in your excel.****<\/span><\/p>\n
