When builders write down equations or calculate materials, construction software is no help. Builders turn to Excel, their notepad, or their phone calculator.
We are changing that. On CoConstruct’s Plus Plan, there are now 345 formulas builders can use in estimating, specs & selections, and change orders. Calculating Formulas and Equations
Builders can also create values to reference, which we call parameters, within a project’s cells and formulas. Utilizing Parameters for Estimates
Parameters and formulas can also be saved in templates for estimating and selections to save more time from redundant tasks.
Here are the 12 formulas builders should know.
