I purchased this software yesterday after looking at the 30 day free trial.
Thanks to Les for the info that the Info on the Home depot CD can also be exported to the estimator also.
This also What i liked about this, is the HD software can be updated daily for wire pricing.
Has anybody used this software before and any comments are appreciated

If anybody wants to download the trial version maybe we can do some practice estimates on the Business Chat on Wednesday.

here is the link

I've used the Home Depot Worksite CD which ties into Craftsman labor and HD materials. It has worked fine for me. As usual, you need to adjust for job conditions and past experience.

I've used TNE for almost 10 years now.
Used the HD CD for over 2.

I've been looking for someone to hose the HD CD (404kb) zip for some time now. It used to free, but it seems unavailable anywhere now.


On other forums, when new EC's ask about estimating programs I usually refer them to amazon.com where you can pick up TNE for $33 w/o ANY s/h or tax fees - beats the Craftsman site where it is $52 + s/h.

Both products(as they are the same products packaged/marketed differently) also tie in nicely to Quickbooks.

HD is still supporting the Worksite CD, and the Pro Desk should have them.

"HD is still supporting the Worksite CD, and the Pro Desk should have them."

Called my local HD and the Prod Desk was only "vaguely" familiar with what I was asking about. Suggested I go on-line.

Does any one know where to get the Home Depot Worksite CD, a copy of the CD, or someplace on-line to down ooad it?

Steve

I have my local HD pro desk researching this. He is trying to get hold of the district manager. I will post when they get back in touch.

All -

Went to my local HD today. The Pro Desk guy told me that HD no longer has or supports the Worksite CD. He said that there was something like it on-line.

I also received an email from HD in response to my inguiry, which I am posting below:

"Thank you for contacting homedepot.com!

It sounds like they had something good and let it go.

I have the CD & it still updates prices online, so they are still supporting it. They may have lost their tie-in to Craftsman which provided the labor portion of the estimating software.

I'd offer to email it, but it's over 600MB. If you got the Craftsman Nat'l Electrical Estimator & got material prices from your supplier, you'd have the same deal as the CD.
