Estimating Seminar and Demonstrations at Builders’ Show
 Computerized estimating has become the standard in the construction industry over the last 17 years. Of all the estimating programs that are available, the most widely used program in residential construction estimating is a simple spreadsheet.
Jay Christofferson, a licensed general contractor, author and software developer, will conduct a seminar on estimating that involves Microsoft® Excel spreadsheets. In addition, ongoing demonstrations of an Excel-based estimating tool will be provided at the NAHB Member Advantage booth during show hours at the 2007 International Builders’ Show in Orlando.
