Online Resources and Accurate Estimates
BuilderLink™ is a fast and easy-to-use online estimating tool and networking community designed for professional builders and remodelers. It's available to anyone interested in instant pricing as well as a connected online community of professionals.
BuilderLink connects pro builders to products, peers and clients. Active BuilderLink users have access to current pricing, new product information, inventory, and an extensive content exchange within the social network - all updated daily.
Here's why Pro builders need a BuilderLink account:
Connect with the building community. Pro builders can access an entire social network created for the industry. System features available with registration include private or public groups for collaboration and information sharing, access to information about new products and industry news, and a substantial venue for file or document exchange with clients or peers.
Guessing cuts into profits. Within BuilderLink's estimating system, estimates are calculated in real-time from the retailer's internal product and pricing database. Costs are calculated at both the pro-builder's discounted price level and at the retail level.
An accurate source for information. Pro builders can access new products as soon as they are in stock, compare material prices and view additional reference content such as manufacturer links, product specs, photos and MSDS documents. They're all in BuilderLink's extensive, up-to-date database.
Fast and exportable. Within the estimating system, users can set up collections of materials (called "assemblies") that are frequently used in estimates. For example, 8 feet of framed, finished wall includes: lumber, sheeting, siding, house wrap, insulation and sheetrock. To estimate the cost of 24 feet of wall, simply multiply the pre-set "wall assembly" by three.
When it's time to purchase, simply refresh (update) prices with a single click of the mouse. Export prices to spreadsheets or estimating software - then print and hand the estimate to the lumberyard staff.
BuilderLink is available 24/7. With a computer and Internet access, estimates can be created anytime and anywhere.
BuilderLink is affordable. Access to the online community is provided to industry professionals at no charge. That's FREE! The estimating system has an affordable annual subscription that is an optional feature of the system.
