Solving Customer Needs
How the BSE Estimator Meets Critical Customer
Needs? A home builder can be the best book
keeper in the world, but can lose their shirt in
a heart beat if they do not master the estimating
side of their home building business. They can
make a mistake on one project that same mistake
may have rippling effects on multiple projects if
the builder can not efficiently strike the
difference between actual costs and estimated
costs on a given project. The BSE Estimator in
unison with QuickBooks will help a builder to
master the business side of their home building
business.
