Does anyone know of software that would speed up the material list process?
I have looked into some cad type software but it is more architectural design. I would like something where I can use the prints that are provided to me and work on material lists and estimating from there. Can anyone help or know of such a thing?
Thanks
Bob

        *I like Vectorworks on my Mac 9500. Chief Architect is similar price point (about 700 bucks) and feature set. Both are among the easiest to use.Steve Zerby
