#BUILDSOFT HOMESPHERE PROFESSIONAL#
Sounds good!Įstimating-Part ll is in Professional Builder March 2004 also. There is mention of Shinn Consulting and BuildSoft. In Professional Builder March 2004 there is an article titled Builder Coalition to Drive New HomeSphere Software. We like having a structured system that will permit us to go into as much detail as we wish. It is not that difficult to work with! You can dump everything into one account 143-DCC, that would be simple enough for everyone, or you can expand it on out to things such as ROUGH structure > FRAMing > Framing Material > Framing-Walls/Partitions > Plates > Treated > and more if you want. When we have a need to add something more for use in BuildSoft, not already covered, we refer back to the long form in hopes of getting it right the first time. We work from a long form, many years old, which I have not seen for a while. It seems to me that anyone that is not using the NAHB Chart of Accounts, for residential construction, has erred. Just as we have not tried to create a language to take the place of English we have not tried to create anything that works better, and we could not, than the NAHB Chart of Accounts. One thing we knew for certain, we were not going to be able to come up with anything better which may not be the feeling of a lot of Builders who do not use it. It just made sense that the NAHB (I had never heard of Emma Shinn or their group when we first used it) surely had a lot of residential construction related people spend a lot of time and money trying to sort out a system that would best serve a Builders needs and integrate with a lot of things as one common language. Ratios and percentages for profit, overhead, financing, marketing, and cost of sales based on standardized job costing and accounting gives benchmarks for the most profitable companies that builders can set as their own goals.ĭoes anyone know of anything better than the NAHB Chart of Accounts for residential construction? We do not and have used it, prior to having computers and BuildSoft, in conjunction with the NAHB One Write system.
#BUILDSOFT HOMESPHERE CODE#
Part of the benefit of homebuilders using a consistent and uniform cost code system is in the comparison studies the NAHB has been doing for a while now. The link Jerrald posted was an abbreviated list and did not have any of the actual construction costs codes in Work in Progress, which of course is 90% of what most of us do. Of course my system allows use of an abbreviation system, which makes it easier, not sure if other softwares do this or not. By the way, I do not have a bookkeeper, I post every single invoice I pay using the Chart of Accounts, must be at least 2 million a year in postings.
#BUILDSOFT HOMESPHERE SOFTWARE#
The software I use, Buildsoft, uses the NAHB Chart of Accounts, I actually find it simple, easy to use, and I can get instantaneous financial statements and job costs. Jim I agree it is very detailed, which I like.
