The contractor meets this need by quickly generating a base estimate for each new home by re-using components from previous estimates for the same or similar model of home.
		Once created, the new estimate can be adjusted easily noting just the exceptions, such as dimension changes, site conditions, and other unique factors.

Avoid Multiple Entry of Takeoff Information - Another eCaliper user in the casework business wanted to input style and color information only once on a project. Then they wanted to apply these specifications to numerous items during the takeoff. Two features in eCaliper make this very easy:

		First, the eCaliper scripts allowed the user to input and validate the information once and then apply it to items during the actual takeoff.
		Second, eCaliper's estimate-specific tables provided a place to store the information and make it available across multiple estimators, assemblies, and takeoff sessions.
		Now they generate numerous estimates accurately and rapidly.
