Hi guys, many builders & tradespeople would love to be able to draw up their own homes yet to date it has been difficult as the software available was never easy to use.
This video gives a quick overview of PlusSpec.
Introduction to PlusSpec
PlusSpec is the easiest tool to design and build with.
Here are a couple of examples of buildings that have been done in PlusSpec and Sketchup.
Single-storey houses are the easiest. This model has a material take-off that takes 3 seconds to do. I know it is hard to believe but it is true.
Extensions in rooves are a bit harder yet the process is logical.
Sometimes you just need detail and explaining what you want is sometimes just easier to draw than say. PlusSpec has a lot of power and when you combine PlusSpec with Sketchup you can do anything.
Why don’t computer software companies get it? Because they have never had to design or build a home.
So what do we need?
- We need logical construction programs that work the way we think.
- The program must be easy to use and work in the way we build homes.
- Affordable (who can afford to spend $6k+ on something that may or may not work for us?)
- We have work to do and families to feed. Who has 40 hours of time to do an estimate and not get paid for it? NOT ME
- I was surprised when I started using other software that there was no simple take-off function. This was the first thing PlusSpec got and it is getting better every day! I am sure you will be impressed.
- We need to be able to charge for a quote! PlusSpec allows you to do this as you are now providing a service that others just do not give. My customers pay and they pay happily. If the customer gets me to build the house I give the money back at handover. We all win!
- We need access to real building products, not just generic representations. PlusSpec has real timber, real bricks, and more.
- We need our clients to understand what it is we are building. 3D models do exactly that.
PlusSpec is the tool that every builder needs.
- PlusSpec allows us to communicate with clients
- PlusSpec allows us to charge for quotes
- PlusSpec allows us to get more local work and say no to jobs that are out of our area.
PlusSpec is exactly what we need!
I would like to let you in on a little secret… I am a builder and I simply had enough of forking out money for software that was so hard to use and so expensive to buy. Surely there had to be an easier way…..Let me just say it has been no easy task, I employed some brilliant software developers to sit in my office with me and listen to what builders and estimators needed. It took 7 years!
So how much does PlusSpec cost? $395 per year, only for a short time, PlusSpec will be going up in price very soon. We are adding pricing functionality and that will make your job even easier!
When will the full version be coming? We are working hard on it now and we hope to have it released by mid-September 2014.
If I get in early will I be able to save cost? Yes if you get in before the price rise you will save more than 50%
