Updating Construction Estimators

NOTE-- We retired MacNail estimating in 2000, and replaced it with Goldenseal construction estimating software. There are still some die-hard MacNail users, so we keep the manuals online for them! Goldenseal also includes accounting, project management and contract writing features. Its unit cost system is much better, with no need for manual transfers of data as in MacNail.

Updating several Estimators from the MacNail Price Master

Once you've accumulated a batch of price changes in your Price Master, you'll probably want to apply the new prices to all of your estimators, so they will be used in all future estimates in the MacNail construction estimating software.

Prices that were recently changed are flagged automatically in the Price Master, so unless you 've used the Clear

Flags command to remove them, you'll be able to save time by moving only the flagged items. If you have new items in the Price Master, you can also decide whether to put them permanently in your estimators or not, by flagging or unflagging them.
