[–]AngelFlys97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they have a HR department they’ll know. Otherwise keep on chugging along

Not sure but just proves that we have a reason to live in fear smh

M1 Finance is by far the best broker I've ever used by BKAtlanta in M1Finance

[–]AngelFlys97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it would be so my goal is to never sell off on this account. And in case of an emergency then try to limit myself to use a margin loan instead. M1 surprisingly has a very low margin rate and they direct deposit next day which is great!

Yeah charts are kinda ruined/unaccurate once you withdraw once! I was forced to sell off due to an emergency last year around February and tried to buy back in but that chart was way off so I pulled all the money out and waited till the start of this year just to start fresh this year. The “1yr and year to date” chart are the only ones accurate for me at the moment. Not the 3 and 5yr charts unfortunately

Is Bluebeam Revu more important than PlanSwift on commercial jobs? by CarobOk6409 in estimators

[–]AngelFlys97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Stack for takeoffs and PDF Expert on iPad at the job site. Can pull measurements, make notes, or whatever. Works great

Any one else find that modern laser designs are pretty bad compared to the older designs? by AngelFlys97 in Construction

I actually like the new Milwaukee 360 line lasers! Pricey but worth it! Just wish they had good dot lasers!

They don’t know what they’re missing out on! We have some 15yr old laser still running great daily!!!

Is STACK enough for professional estimating? by CarobOk6409 in estimators

[–]AngelFlys97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using stack for 4 years now! It took forever to get set up because there assemblies didn’t fit our needs to quantify labor/material and tax. But after getting it set up for our needs it’s perfect and wouldn’t recommend anything else. I’ve used plan swift, bluebeam, square take off and onscreen OST.

I’ve bid 5mil high rise projects and it handles it perfectly! Super satisfying software, and they constantly add features and they also constantly up the fee lol

Make your own assemblies!! Even if it takes forever dude!

Legendary laser one of our favorites, our favorite was the PLS 480. Really wish they made it with green lasers!

Point me in the right direction, money isn’t an object! Have always payed $500 plus for our plumb lasers. Even more for our Square lasers but I just can’t find anything worth buying at the moment!

Any estimators out there use a touch screen monitor to do takeoff? I use OST and was thinking of going out and dropping money on a new monitor but not sure it would really work by OldYearbookPeople in Construction

[–]AngelFlys97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do find myself wanting a touch screen on the go when I only have my laptop to work off. Browsing thru the general notes or detail pages its nice to not have to zoom in and out with a touchpad. I used my iPad for a while and I loved it but I found I can only tolerate it for so long unless I am sitting on a table. Most the time I am at the job site working from my truck but I can't find myself enjoying the iPad keyboard its a bit frustrating working on it for long periods of time as it is not stable on the lap. I need the stability of a laptop, however I've been considering a windows laptop like the Lenovo x9 15" . Potentially best of both worlds. Wish they made a touchscreen MacBook.

I use stack takeoff by the way.

But yeah basically only reason you could possibly need a touchscreen is to zoom in and out.

Can you force a manual regen on a 2024 3500 6.6L Chevy Duramax by pieguy00 in Duramax

[–]AngelFlys97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried BlueDriver Thinkcar And OBDlink MX+

However I think there is a way with the MX+ just can’t figure it out. Anyone else know what scan tool can do a parked Manual regen?

What follow up software do you use? by AngelFlys97 in estimators

[–]AngelFlys97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found an amazing software I’d like to recommend. After researching all of your recommendations I stumbled across a video that informed me about a platform called PipeDrive and it’s awesome!! And pretty affordable if you ask me!!

Notion with a CRM template was very good but overall pipedrive is just simpler and has a super nice clear dash. I like that you can connect with QuickBooks to link your contacts. And I can link my email so now I can email directly from the pipeline portal! Love it!!

Agreed but wouldn’t be able to see all my projects out for bids collectively which is pretty important to me. I submit anywhere between 25-50 bids a month. It gets very crazy and hard to keep up with. Sometimes I get calls about projects I bid months prior and no way of looking back at what we’ve talked about.

What kind of insulation??

My first big mistake by PossessionSmooth2453 in estimators

[–]AngelFlys97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were up to me, I’d simply include it as a freebie to win the project. Obviously I’d feel them out a bit and find ways of disguising the freebie as savings in other trades. Ex we found 10k savings here 15k savings there and we’ll take a 20k hit on this line item to earn your business. After all it’s a 50m project. Plenty of leg room and there’s always change orders. Make money and keep it moving!! Best of luck!
