<p>A process for estimating a construction project over a computer network (5). Architects (40) or contractors (50) can enter information relating to a construction project into an online database (30). This online database (30) is stored in a server that creates a series of quantities for each of these construction projects. Next, a system host (15) presents a series of quantites for each of the construction projects. Next users, such as contractors (50), subcontractors (80), or contstruction managers can purchase and download these quantities and a construction report. These quantities are presented in a unique electronic spreadsheet template. Once the users have this template with the quantities included, they can bid on each construction project either online or through any other communication system.</p> |
