Estimating Rehab or Flip costs
Is there a program out there that estimates the rehab costs
I am looking for something that does materials and then labor
some ideas of what I am looking for....
I can input the cost of a door (based on the type of door I want- slab, paneled,etc...) and then enter the number of doors and also calculates the door locks
If I need to do sheetrock I can enter the Length and width and height of the room and it calculates for me the sheets of rock I need to buy
If your doing tile measure room size, I then enter the tile sq ft price and it calculates then also figures grout and even asks if you need an underlayment, same thing if it were the hardwood - what type of padding, or are you using padding, sub floor glue, padding glue
Cabinets I put in lin ft of cabinets and it calculates a price based on a low, med, high range that may already be put in there or that I can populate myself
Appliances- check off what you need and it calculates based on low, med, high range
Bathroom upgrades- toilets, tile, vanity, tops, grab bars, towel bars, toilet paper holder. etc...
Something that has all the little items that a non professional contractors will leave out.
Those things you leave out are what cost and throw the SOW off.
Example- I calculated the square footage for a hardwood floor but when I went to purchase the hardwood x the sq ft price I had calculated and budgeted for I was way off. Reason I needed to add on 4 pails of glue at a little over $50. each, and then the underlayment pad necessary was another couple hundred $$. I was over budget by about $300 when all said and done.
Does such a program exist?
Thank you
