I’m looking to buy a program that will aid a roofing contractor to write up bids from a laptop while on the job site. Any thoughts?

Excel.
You can add a letter head.
You can put in a general price for sq ft and then type in the size
You could put in materials and labour all based on size
SO you could say
it cost 1.5 per sq ft for materials and that is always your cost. and make a Second column for SQ ft. Put in a formula, so when you put in the SQ ft it multiples it and put it in a total column
then make a another heading as labour and we will say the cost is .59 per sq ft. (doesn’t take long to lay a sq ft.) and do the same thing by make a Second column for SQ ft. Put in a formula, so when you put in the SQ ft it multiples it and put it in a total column
You can make it very professional very easy with excel.
Hope this helps

I just checked out a program called Bid Builder, and it does have a section in there for roofing. I used to work for a Roofing Contractor. Quick Estimator is another that looks pretty simple. I think the best thing is to find one that isn’t overly complicated and not too expensive. Good Luck. I liked the looks of the Bid Builder Program myself.
