Task

Exploring Estimating Features

As a construction manager, I explore the product offerings of the estimating tool, so that I can understand how to create accurate and detailed estimates quickly using Bolster.

Success definition: Given I am on the Bolster Built homepage and can see the navigation menu When I click on the Product button and then select the Estimating link Then I should be redirected to the Estimates page where I can view features and benefits of the estimating tool, such as pre-built assemblies and AutoCost.

    heading Let your customers re-estimate themselves
    StaticText Make more profit with optional items, upgrades and selections so your customers can upgrade themselves without an awkward phone call -- or any extra work for you.
    link Options, upgrades and selections , url='https://www.bolsterbuilt.com/upsells'

    heading Leave tedious project setup to us
    StaticText Setting up all your jobs is a part-time job in itself -- but in Bolster the budget and schedule generate automatically from the estimate. It's fully customizable of course -- but without any of the up-front repetitive work.
    link Scheduling , url='https://www.bolsterbuilt.com/scheduling'
