Adding Estimating Specs

NOTE-- We retired the BidMagic construction estimating software in 2001. It has been replaced by Goldenseal construction estimating software.

We still include this BidMagic estimating software manual as a convenience for users of our older program. Many features are similar, in Goldenseal estimating.

Adding a Line Item

To add a new construction line item to the BidMagic estimating software, follow these steps:

  1. Click on one of the unused pop-up buttons under the desired subcategory (anything labeled none).
  2. Select an item from the pop-up list, then release the mouse button.
  3. The new line item will be displayed, and its cost will be added to the bid amount.

HINT: Some line items may have a name that is too long to display in the available space. To see the full name, click the mouse on the visible part of the name, and the remainder of the name will also be shown.
