    “ Why do your take offs and cost estimates twice ?

     

        Schedule a training session so I can show you just how valuable it can be to set up and make Chief your estimating solution.

     

      The time savings, alone, are significant compared to the process used by many of creating .PDF plan copies in chief and then exporting into Plan Swift or whatever other program used and then digitizing, organizing, etc ...

     

          Once set up properly, a Chief material list and total cost to build is only a few mouse clicks away. "

    Personally I would like to see CA offer a monthly subscription program. Forget the annual SSA fee, just charge say $40 per month and be done with it. I think they loose out on potential ongoing revenue as every time their SSA is due for renewal many users evaluate whether or not the new release features are worth the $550 cost. On a monthly subscription fee this yearly evaluation would be eliminated. For new potential users this would eliminate the possible price shock of $3,000, it's just say $95/month. Many software companies have realized that this is the best way to go and now focus their efforts on promoting subscription based services.

      Great insight/idea .. but that $3000.00 chunk ( up front ) is gonna be hard to give up .. :unsure:

     and was a Beta tester for the last 6 versions .. “

    Some of the things I can teach you are: 

     

       1)  How to create a full set of construction plans, 3D renderings, and a building materials list  …. in a matter of hours; not days .. ! 

    Sample here: https://dbeb9d9d-63d6-4359-84bb-f128ebeddadd.filesusr.com/ugd/cb65c6_f614feb661a34897a8b2fd0eee10147c.pdf

     

       2) 3D capabilities was a reason why many people purchased Chief;

       let me show you how to do 3D renderings & animations that look like these:

    3) End the drudgery of number crunching forever .. when you learn how to use Chief as both a design & estimating solution… !   See sample below:

               “ Bob has helped turn our business around. Thanks to his training we now use Chief to do both design and cost estimating.

    I was skeptical at first, but our first training session quickly proved that not only was it possible, but just how powerful this is.

      Staying on budget is so much easier when an accurate cost estimate can be auto-generated at any stage of a design  “

    “ Bob showed us many amazing, eye-opening tips, tricks, and time saving techniques that other trainers never even mentioned.

     In addition to cutting our construction plan time in half, we also learned how to do high quality 3D renderings and video walk-throughs, which has brought us many jobs.                             Thank you, Bob              J.S.   —    Bend, OR

    PBR VS Raytracing

    PBR exterior. Time to render: 3 seconds. This is the real advantage. Great results for almost no effort which is needed for customers who won't pay for renderings.

     Small tip / note: the 'color' of the backdrop will affect the 'tone' of the shadows and materials slightly.

       Do you have an interior sample ?

            That seems to be where PBR needs a lot of work ... ..

    I shared a video walk through with my client and now they want me to share it with them electronically... File is to large to email and even to large for drop-box. I can't find any how-to steps for sharing a video... Does anyone have a how-to that they can shared? Thank you!

     You can also upload to youtube and then clients get a link w/o any file to download ....
