PrebuiltML

## What is PrebuiltML?

PrebuiltML is takeoff software that can produce jobsite material lists. It starts with an on-screen digitizer to capture counts, LF, and SF - all with no printed plan set required. PrebuiltML then takes this technology to the NEXT LEVEL with an extensive product database, a profile management tool, and a custom list structure. Together, these tools let you create a list of materials in your preferred format and products. And this is just the BEGINNING of this intelligent takeoff software.

I think the Estima Estimating Software is a First Class estimating platform, and I have worked with other estimating programs in the past for years. The learning curve, from not knowing a thing about the program's software to becoming productive is short in the big picture.

Pros

The number of "looks" you can print out. Your template system available is great.

Cons

Building the wall assemblies, previously programs build the assemblies before takeoff begins. With Estima you build the assembly as you do the takeoff.... No big deal, you get used to that the more Reps you take.

Pros

Prebuilt is a easy software to get use to, it is simple and good at keeping track of items you are gathering.

Cons

The only down side is that it is not a web based software. You have to do a download and you can only use it in one device.

I love using PrebuiltML and will continue to do so for years.

Pros

The customer service is second to none. They are there when I need them and their response time is incredible. Prebuilt is constantly updating their product. I love the finished layouts. They look professional and their is no mistaking what items go where. This saves time and material. I also like that you can learn at your own pace. Their library of videos and tutorials is amazing. Plus, you can't beat the price.

Cons

There is no undo button. This software offers so much it can be overwhelming at times.

Pros

Availability of product lists and materials pricing at any given time. Scalability of the software to meet our projects whether they are small builds or larger proposed commercial designs.

Cons

So far only issue is working with interface to draw or create our projects to be used for the pricing up stage. Support is excellent so so far no issues that are major.

Overall PrebuiltML is okay. it was a little difficult to pickup on. but after watching the videos it became very simple and I have started using it for work designing floor systems. although some things need to be added, like a UNDO BUTTON.. it is still good

Pros

what I like about this software is the ease of use (within the given abilities). Putting in most plans and doing a floor layout for work is very simple usually.

Cons

NO UNDO. I mean come on, this is one of my biggest issues with Prebuilt. I just do not see the logic in not having one. Also dynamic input similar to autocad would be great! so that way if a drawing can not be scaled, we can set the page to whatever scale, and draw.

Increased productivity and the ability to adjust waste factors down to a formulaic level versus shooting from the hip.

Pros

The ability to make accurate changes on the fly as the customer's project evolves and the generation of roofing and flooring layouts to avoid confusion.

Cons

There are some elements that should be shown in pc count (under a specific dimension) vs linear feet. For instance plate length and ridge.

Ease of use

Pros

Prebuilt ML allows me to perform estimation tasks for my insulation company paperless and from any location. What I like best is I can set up each project in it's own folder, and always have access to it. Also, It eliminates the expense of copying or printing full-size blueprints. The cost savings in this alone is enormous, and helps increase net profit. Also, Prebuilt generates automatic quantity reports and piece counts based on product categories input by the end user. This eliminates the need to write notes on other paper and keep them organized and stored. The material reports can be exported to Excel or saved as PDF's. Also, I am able to make e-mailable crops and notes on the drawings should questions or discussion points arise. These items really add up to save time on any project, weather it's 3 or 300 sheets of drawings. Also, Prebuilt's customer support team has been an an incredible asset over the last few years. Customer rep and his team have always gone above and beyond in answering questions during setup and when an issue arises. I would call my computer skills better than average, however the layout of the software is such that anyone with beginning to intermediate skills can use Prebuilt without difficulty. Customers and contractors are always shocked when I show them this software for the first time. It makes a great sales tool as it generates exact quantities while eliminating the potential for human input errors.

Cons

Probably the single-most challenge in using Prebuilt is the need to input and scale each needed. sheet. This does take time, however it only needs to be done once. Once input, scales are automatically saved, and can be drawn on immediately. I find it goes pretty fast, and sometimes it helps identify measurement errors on especially hand drawn sheets. You can also add new sheets and delete new sheets as needed. Also, You can place un-needed sheets in a separate folder to reduce visual clutter in the file.
