HORT MANAGEMENT:
Computer Cost Estimator for Landscape Management Services, Version 6.0 for PCs (Microsoft Excel)

Hort Management

Cost estimating and job bidding are among the most perplexing and time-consuming tasks of landscape managers, particularly those who are new in the business and have no benchmark data on which to base their estimates. Yet accurate cost estimating is one of the most crucial elements for business success.

Developed by The University of Georgia, HORT MANAGEMENT is a menu-driven and user friendly program, containing a series of worksheets which assist the user in estimating overhead costs, labor costs, labor costs, and hourly costs of equipment items. The main component of the program, the Bid Estimator, calculates a bid price and break-even proce for a particular job. Costs are then translated into a contract for presenting to the client. New in Version 6.0 is a tree canopy calculator that assists the user in estimating tree canopy areas for spraying and pruning.

This program is not only designed for instructors or commercial grounds managers. Institutional, municipal, recreational or private landscape managers will also find the program useful in determining job costs and production times.
