8 Rules on How You Grow Your Company


The last few months have again proven to be another busy and exciting time for Benchmark Estimating Software.  We recently attended the Landscape Australia Expo at Homebush Bay in Sydney, and had a fantastic time.  It was truly a pleasure to attend such a well organised event, and the interest in Benchmark at the show was fantastic. 

I also had the honour of being invited to speak on the benefits of good estimating at both the Expo Conference and at the Landscape Contractors' Association (LCA) meeting that was held in conjunction with the Expo.  For my speech I drew on my 20 years of business and estimating experience, from my beginnings as a small contractor through to the present day.  The speech outlined 8 rules which help to ensure a contractor's business is successful; and it is available for download by clicking the following link and completing the form.  The 8 rules focus on ways you can improve the profitability of your contracting business by being aware of better business and estimating practices.

Benchmark is moving closer to our ne
w Version 6.05 release.  This release is sure to impress; we have developed some brilliant new features which will benefit everyone who produces estimates and quotes. 

Quote reports in Microsoft Word, an Export to Excel Project Review that exports your entire estimate for review, analysis, and to assist you manage your projects, added functionality for the Marketing Reports, added features to the Quote with Options, Quantity Takeoff sheets that are stored within your Benchmark estimate, there is something in V6.05 for everybody! 

It has been ten years since we started and Benchmark has evolved into a very smooth and competent package, with all elements coming together in a logical way to provide our clients with what I believe is the best estimating software package available.  I took great delight in demonstrating the product at the recent Landscape Expo, and in seeing the reactions from everyone who witnessed it in action. 

So now might just be time for you to stop throwing time and money at spreadsheets that require constant adjustments and never last.  Implement a system that has been designed specifically to make estimating easy and logical for your business, a package that will stand the test of time.


Yours, in the interest of better estimating,
