Estimating Misc Project Dimensions

NOTE-- In 2000 we introduced Goldenseal construction estimating software, and retired both our older computer software programs (MacNail and BidMagic). There are still die-hard users of both programs, so we keep the manuals online for their use! Goldenseal is an integrated program that also includes accounting, job costing and contract writing features.

Misc. Dimensions

Type the following measurements into the MacNail construction estimating software:

1. For the room counts, type 3 for the total room count, 0 (zero) kitchens, 1 bath, 0 (zero) bedrooms, FALSE for laundry. (Select Calculate Now from the OPTIONS menu to display the number of other rooms--2.)
2. Type in 1 closet.
3. Type FALSE for the Attic and Basement.
4. Type in 4 interior doors, 2 exterior doors, 4 windows, and 1 skylight.
5. Type in 0 for the eave height (distance from the top floor ceiling to the junction of roof and outside wall) and 1 for the floor height (height of the first floor from the ground).
6. Type in a footer depth of 4 feet (or the depth from footer to ground that you use most often).
7. Type in an average ground slope of 0 (zero), for flat land.
