Estimating Other Soft Costs

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 It has been replaced by Goldenseal construction estimation software.

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

Percent Additions

This section of the BidMagic estimating software program allows you to make a percentage addition to Labor, Materials or Subs, to cover any other soft costs not listed specifically.

Costs in this section will show up in the Other Soft Costs category of the Bottom Line.
