The Ramco Estimating System

    The fastest, easiest to use program on the market. 
    Instant editing for change orders, addendum's and alternate bids.

Automatically figures:

• Base, pad, flooring materials and up to 50 different types of installation materials (seam tape, welding rod, etc.)
• Easy manual override for faster input of room sizes.
• Very short learning curve with full online help.
• Multiple sound options for different features.
• Spreadsheet output for custom bid analysis.

Key Benefits

During training, we can usually save our new customers several thousand dollars on average. This is accomplished by re-estimating the companies' backlog of work using the RAMCO Estimating System and making better use of materials. This type of training-plus-benefits has been consistently happening when a company comes to train and brings plans that have a lot of fill pieces. The savings come from a more efficient use of materials, easily understood documentation of the estimates, and the reduced time for gathering data.

Some of the key benefits:

• Reduced waste (equates to Material savings)
• Increased takeoff productivity
• Increased takeoff accuracy
• Reduced mistakes in estimating and installing
• Communicate better with Labor
• Easy to learn 
• Ties to any spreadsheet program

Winput data entry

Winput is where all the action is. Take off your room data with a 16-button digitizer or enter it in manually. Estimating is fast, efficient and accurate. Easy editing with floating codes windows, easy navigation with keyboard, mouse and puck. The estimating directives in the opening comments section apply to the whole job, whereas area by area directives in comments are specific to that area. Multiple output scenarios are easily run with just a few clicks of the mouse.

The end result is a more complete estimate in less time, with less waste and fewer errors.

 You'll see that nothing on the market compares!

Wall to Wall

This program utilizes the digitizer board for easy input of net area, base and wall calculations. By simply positioning the cursor at each corner and pressing one button the area in square yards, square feet, linear feet of base and square feet of wall area is quickly taken off all in one step. 

The are many hundreds of users of the Wall to Wall program, who use it to take off VCT, carpet tile, base, ceramic, etc. They also use the program to quickly double-check their carpet figures. This program takes just about an hour to learn and is a major factor in increased estimating speed along with better accuracy.

Tour some of our screen shots

		Main input screen (Winput). Here you can use the digitizer to enter data, or type it in.  Most functions can be initiated by the 16-button digitizer puck.
		Super Analysis output screen within Winput.  Cutting maps, dimensions, and more are returned in an easy  to read format. The output file can be printed from here.
		Wall 2 Wall Input screen. Wall 2 Wall works much like Winput, although it deals with areas and distances described by a perimeter. Ideal for irregular room shapes, it also does conversion from English measure (feet/yards/inches) to Metric.
