Asphalt estimating/costing software

[Johnc]

hey guys, I'm working for a mid sized contractor who primarily focuses on milling and asphalt paving, some site prep work. We dont have too many line items and own about 10 pieces of equipment. All the softwares we've tried are too big and sophisticated for our operations. It seems that they function to service large building contractors. Any suggestions anyone for some software aids that can track our cost of jobs and provide a database for the estimators. Most of our projects and items are done before the costs can be tracked. Thanks

We wrote our own using excel spreadsheets (fairly simple), the key is understanding your crew costs and achievable production rates.

what about job costing for items? do you intergrate item costs to accounting?
