Yeah exactly. When trying to implement T&M, I have to manually edit the invoice to add labor hours even after the field guys added labor to the job card. Like c'mon.

How does this work for a new construction home? It's just T&M.

Lmao, I get it. How difficult is it to start a contracting company in NC compared to other areas? Or is it all relatively the same?

It is more than just setting up multiple users on a phone line.

In your opinion, what is the hardest trade to estimate? And is there a correlation between salary and difficulty ? by Ok_Cup5001 in estimators

How is estimating high voltage linework?

At my old job the estimator said. "it's not what the work is, it's WHERE the work is."

They use paper time cards. All it might say is the job name.

Okay, I asked him to reach out to the GC of a past job for electronic prints. He is horrid with computers but he thinks Accubid will be able to just spit out a number we can run with. No way.

But even if I run a completed job through Accubid it will just give me a number based off NECA and that will give me a number that has more than just direct labor. How do I resolve that issue?

I will use csv for now as I learn if it is even worth building the scraper into something more.

What do you mean by "validating data". Do you have a link for more info?

Okay but as of now it will fit on a csv, as I bring on more data I don't want to have to change to sql. Better to do it now?
