Goldenseal is construction bidding software for home builders, contractors and remodelers. It lets you "build" each of your bids from the following components:

• Allowances-- for items that don't have firm specifications.
• Assemblies-- unit costs based on labor hours and material components.
• Bids-- supplier and subcontractor price quotes or estimates.
• Cost Items-- individual labor and materials for work that is not included in an assembly.
• Percentage Additions-- overhead, profit, contingencies and other "soft costs".
• Unlisted Items-- costs that are not covered by an existing cost item or assembly.

The Goldenseal bidding software is a professional estimating package that includes many features to help you create fast, accurate project bids. You can use templates to quickly include your usual construction items. Goldenseal's "smart dimensions" will calculate quantities for you, based on a few simple project measurements. And you can keep pricing accurate without much work, since Goldenseal automatically updates your unit costs whenever you enter purchases.

Goldenseal is also bid tracking software that manages competitive bids that you receive from subcontractors or suppliers. It automatically uses the lowest bid for your total project bidding, and it updates estimates automatically as you receive each new bid. Before you receive firm bids, you can also enter a "rough estimate" for each bid. It will be replaced by actual quotes after you receive them from your subs or suppliers.

Once you've finished the bidding process, Goldenseal uses the estimate to write contracts, track job costs, and generate lists of materials, tools and labor quantities that you'll need for the project. There is even a simple schedule that Goldenseal calculates for each project.

Goldenseal includes all of the following (single user):

• cost estimates
• schedules
• contract writing
• project management
• business management

The complete version includes all of the items mentioned above, plus these accounting features:

• job costs
• general accounting
