Overview | Features

With Accubid’s Pocket ChangeOrder™ for the Pocket PC, you can price changes while you’re still at the job site. Don’t wait until you’re back at the office to evaluate the full impact of contemplated changes—impress your clients with your immediate and on-the-spot response. You can also download projects onto Pocket ChangeOrder to allow for on-site project management. Back at the office, you can synchronize your Pocket ChangeOrder with ChangeOrder or ChangeOrder Pro—Accubid’s desktop solutions for change order management. Then, print or e-mail detailed and professional reports, and watch your change order approval rate grow!

Pocket ChangeOrder will run on any portable device with an ARM or XScale-based processor that uses Microsoft’s Pocket PC 2002 operating system, or its successor, the Windows Mobile operating system. Since the Pocket PC and Windows Mobile operating systems are based on the Windows OS, existing Windows users will find the Pocket PC interface familiar and easy to use.

While other handheld software for contractors has focused exclusively on takeoff, Accubid has produced a complete solution from takeoff to bid summary, including extension.

For complete results, Accubid's Pocket ChangeOrder™ must be used in conjunction with either Accubid ChangeOrder, or ChangeOrder Pro version 5 or later.

Screen Clips

The Schedule screen lists all of the available estimating jobs. Once you’ve opened a job, the following screens are available:

• Notes • Takeoff • Audit Trail • Extension • Direct Labor • Indirect Labor • Expenses • Subcontracts • Unit Prices • Quotes • Final Price

Takeoff

From the Takeoff screen, you can takeoff items and assemblies from the same material database that you use with the desktop version of ChangeOrder.

Audit Trail

The Audit Trail displays all the takeoffs within the currently selected system.

Extension

From the Extension screen, you can sort the bill of materials by system, area, drawing, phase, location, labor factor, sort codes, unit price, and/or item in any order to perform reasonable checks. You can make last minute changes to quantity, material, and labor.

Final Price

The Summary screen is used to finalize the change notice and arrive at your selling price. From the Summary screen, you can enter markup or overhead for either material or labor.
