Newly
Revised: HORT MANAGEMENT, Computer Cost Estimator for Landscape
Management Services, Version 6.0 for PCs (Microsoft Excel)
 Cost
estimating and job bidding are among the most perplexing and time-consuming
tasks of landscape managers, particularly those who are new int
he business and have no bench-mark 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, and
hourly costs of equipment items. The main component of the program,
the Bid Estimator, calculates a bid price and break-even price
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.
Cost:
$100.00
*includes
sales tax and shipping.
