Estimator Blanks

NOTE-- We retired the MacNail estimating program in 2000, and replaced it with Goldenseal construction estimating software. There are still a significant number of die-hard MacNail users, so we keep the manuals online for them! Goldenseal is an integrated program that also includes accounting, scheduling and contract writing. It uses Estimate templates to serve the same role as Estimators and Estimator Blanks.

Estimator Worksheet Blanks

An Estimator Blank is used by the MacNail construction estimating software to make new Estimators. It contains everything that will be in the new Estimator, except for the categories and/or subcategories in the Summation, Clearinghouse and Specifications.
