Remodeling and Renovation Contractors

How large are the jobs you bid? Are you bidding for residential (home) remodeling and renovation or more commercial building renovation? How much of the work do you subcontract out to more specialized subs like electrical, plumbing or heating contractors? Are your jobs typically more similar to that of the traditional general contractor? ComputerEase construction management software offers you the flexibility to customize your system to fit the unique needs of each specific job.

Perhaps your business is currently specializing in kitchen remodeling and renovation but you want to expand into other areas. ComputerEase job driven focus allows you to set up each job with only the capabilities needed for that particular job but with the built in flexibility to expand these options as the scope of your business or a job changes. "Scope creep," while often highly profitable for a company, can also be where money is lost if you can't track the changes throughout your system.

Maybe you've contracted for part of the job based upon a firm bid but additions are billed on a time and materials basis. Keeping track of these subtleties is simple with ComputerEase integrated billing system. Track the costs of changes and directly invoice for the time and materials portion or integrate it into the system and change the overall job costs to reflect a revised project cost.

What if you've bid for the renovation of 20 separate apartments or units? Can you take advantage of lot price purchasing to increase the job's profitability? Can you bid out some of the work while keeping other parts internal to your company? With ComputerEase you can. And, you can track each phase individually to keep them on time and on budget or to create a historical record for future bidding needs.

ComputerEase construction management software offers remodeling contractors and renovation contractors the flexibility to make each job as simple or complex as the job requires.

"Overhead Cost is vital to understand"

John Stenger
President
Stenger & Company

Right. I mean, whether it's a contractor or a manufacturing company or a cabinet manufacturer, I don't care what kind of company it is, you know, that indirect cost, that overhead cost is vital for every company to understand. One thing that's nice inside of ComputerEase is you have the ability to go in through their job cost module and uh, click on what they call their global adjust overhead function, and we can go back and look historically, for instance, in 2007, and we can have ComputerEase run scenarios and assist the client and look at what would I have allocated to my jobs if I changed my overhead allocation to say $11.50 an hour, or what would it have been at $10.50 an hour, or what would it take to allocate 100 percent of overhead allocations to the jobs? And that global adjust overhead function inside of ComputerEase makes a job that probably took us 10, 15 hours, we can do in a matter of about 45 minutes at the most on probably the largest contractor that we have.
