I believe the one good thing about that spreadsheet is that it can be adjusted by the State you live in. because costs are different in every State the estimate sheet i believe is based on a multiplier for the corresponding State, as most cost estimating books are based. that program does break down a lot of information for you and i think it is a good program, one thing you may want to check is if the program updates every year with current multipliers for the States ( program is probably based on a starting average value for each thing and then the multiplier changes as prices for materials change) and you want to make sure it does that.

This will clear your mind and slow down the process which, ironically, will speed up your progress. 

I would think with enough "proof" you could deduct trips/masterminds and all of that This does not work the same as blending into speeding traffic.
