Here’s what You Get With The Contractor’s Profit System with LiteningFast Estimating:

Are You Ready for a Change?

You can do it too. I will help you achieve your goals. I can’t help you out on the job site, but I sure can show you how to make a difference in your profitability! Isn’t it time for you to start changing the way you’re doing business?

Would you approach your bids and your jobs differently if you knew you were going to make money using the system I’m about to show you? Would you invest in it?

I wonder how your family will react when you start making money on every job. What will it be like to have more time with them doing the things you really want to do?

Based on conversations with thousands of contractors since 1977, I’ve come to the realization that the difference between contactors that are making money and those that aren’t is job cost. Most small and medium contractors are not doing effective job cost.

Most small and medium sized contractors are “Guesstimating”; they aren’t estimating. If you don’t know exactly how much your material is going to cost and exactly how long it’s going to take to do the work, you’re guessing.

Many contractors look at a 15 foot wall and say “It will take about a day to do that.” The same contractor a week or month later will look at a 20 foot wall and say “It will take about a day to do that.” There’s nothing measurable. If you can’t measure the result, you can’t cost it and therefore you can’t estimate it.

Everything you do must be measurable. Linear feet, square feet, cubic yards, whatever unit of measure you want. When you measure the wall at 15 feet you need to know that you’re going to spend $1.50 a foot for material and it’s going to take an hour per foot @ $25.00 per hour (These are totally made up numbers). That way when the job’s done you look at how much you spent for material and how long it took. If the results were different than expected, adjust your estimating so you make money the next time you do a wall.

I call it the…
Contractor’s Profit System

There are four main pieces to the system:

  1. LiteningFast Estimating. It’s designed to be simple to learn, easy to use and “Error Proof” your estimates. I’ll get in to more detail in a minute.
  2. QuickBooks Interface. We chose to integrate with QuickBooks back in 1994 because it was a simple, easy to use accounting system that has a job cost contractors can use.
  3. Video Tutorials. We give you complete step-by-step video tutorials that teach you exactly how to use LiteningFast Estimating and how to get the most out of QuickBooks.
  4. Unlimited lifetime support. This is a big one. Most companies charge $300 a year and more for support. What does that say about their system?

The Contractor Profit System will get you to a place that you’re estimating more accurately and making money on each of your jobs. And you’ll sleep better knowing that if you don’t get a job you didn’t want it because you weren’t going to make money doing it. As a matter of fact, even if you’re more expensive than some of your competitors you can use that against them. You can say something like “I’m bidding to make a fair and reasonable profit so I stay in business for the long term. If you want to deal with somebody that you can trust to do excellent work now and in the future, then I’m your man, because I’ll be here to do the work.

Let me ask you a question. If you don’t change the way you’re doing business what is your life going to be like a year from now? Albert Einstein made the comment that “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”

Let’s talk about how the different pieces of the LiteningFast system and how they’re going to work for you.

Easy to Learn

You’ll be able to learn how to use LiteningFast estimating very quickly. Depending on your level of computer expertise, you can learn it in as little as a couple of hours. This is one of our “claims to fame.” We don’t have some of the impossible to learn “Bells and Whistles” that some of the estimating programs do. Many of the programs that cost $2,000 and more require you to go to a class for a week or so to learn how to use the program. On top of that, if you don’t use the program, and all the special features, on a daily basis you’ll forget more than you ever knew about the program.

Estimate Like You Work

LiteningFast allows you to estimate by sections. Sections break things up into logical groups like foundations, framing, roofing and so on. This means that when you’re doing your takeoff you open, for example, the foundation section and take of the items you need for the foundations on the job. Next, you’d open the framing section and take off the framing items. And so on.

This gives you an advantage in two ways:

  1.  When you’re taking off foundations you’re only seeing the items (materials and labor) that are related to foundations. There’s no roofing items here so you’re not lost in a sea of items that aren’t related to what you’re working on right now.
  2. You have a logical progression or sequence to do your take off. It’s like the checklist the astronauts use when their on a mission. Everything is done by the checklist because it reduces errors to a minimum. Error proofing in action.

Here’s one additional note about sections. LiteningFast comes with three different section lists for you to use and modify to fit your specific needs:

  • Default list – a list I created for homebuilders and remodeling contractors while collaborating with 100,s of contractors to get what works and works well. It’s a good simple list.
  • CSI – Construction Standards Institute – If you do commercial work this is the right one for you because architects specify their jobs using the CSI Masterformat.
  • NAHB – National Association of Homebuilders – This is the list they recommend. Personally, I think out of date and a little cumbersome.

“Super” Items

Each of the items in LiteningFast has 5 components, the cost for materials, labor, equipment, subcontracts and miscellaneous. This means that when you take off one quantity, like the linear feet of wall, you get all the costs with one entry. This means that you can do your takeoff faster. It also reduces the potential for errors because you only have one entry rather than several and so you are less prone to making typographic errors (typing in the wrong number).

When you’ve done the takeoff, or while you’re doing the takeoff, you can review your estimate. Since the review is organized by sections, it’s easy to see what you have grouped in each section. This means you can spot any missing or duplicated items easily, error proofing your estimate.

QuickBooks Integration

QuickBooks Certified
QuickBooks Certified

We integrate with QuickBooks to create the simplified budgets for your job cost. It’s so simple to do that you’ll be amazed. It’s literally clicking a button. That’s it. LiteningFast has been awarded the Silver Developer logo by QuickBooks. This means we’ve gone through stringent testing by a national testing organization that certifies we have met Intuit’s rigid specifications for integrating with QuickBooks. Very few developers have achieved this certification.

You’ll find that our QuickBooks budgets are unique. We call them “simplified”. What does that mean? Let’s say you have ten items you’ve taken off in the framing section. We summarize those ten items into 2 or three items. So, if the total material budget for the ten items is $1,250 we would create a budget item for fraqb_logo_208ming materials of $1,250, NOT ten individual material items. Likewise with labor we summarize the labor cost, let’s say $1,500 for the total labor for the ten items, and create a budget item in QuickBooks for $1,500 labor budget for framing.
What does this mean to you? Two things:

  1. Data entry of the actual expenses to the budget is very simple. It takes about an extra 10 or 15 seconds per bill to do the job cost.
  2. You can see the forest for the trees when you’re reviewing the job cost actual Vs budget reports. This means that you can spot problems early so the don’t become BIG job threatening ones.

It all comes down to simplification. The simpler it is to do the more likely it is to get done! If it doesn’t get done you’ll never get out of the spiral you’re in.

Video Tutorials

Video tutorials make it very easy to learn how to use each and every aspect of the program. The great thing is that you can review these videos at any time so if there’s a feature you haven’t used before or haven’t used in a long time you pop the video CD into your computer to see the step-by-step tutorial. Do you think that this would be a big help in learning the system?

Free Lifetime Support

What can I say about unlimited lifetime support? Phone or email I’m here to answer your questions. I’ve been doing this since 1994 and have never charged a penny for support. How would you feel knowing you can get support from someone that knows what they’re talking about, when you need it and not have to pay for it?

As I mentioned earlier, the reason I can do this is that I don’t have to do much support, 3-4 minutes for the life of each customer. That’s it! this is based on supporting over 4,200 customers since 1994.
