Demand for new homes has been running strong for the last few years now. And while that's good news for residential contractors, the flip side is that the good times in the residential sector have attracted a flock of newer contractors, trying to establish themselves by building more homes faster, and for less money.

More competitors-just what you needed, right?

If you don't want the other guys to eat your lunch, you need a way to boost profits without raising overhead. You need a secret weapon, and Quest Solutions has the answer — our Residential Solution, a suite of digitized takeoff and estimating software designed to help homebuilders and residential contractors overcome the challenges they face on every job.

The Residential Solution is flexible enough and powerful enough to estimate residential jobs of any size, from large projects like apartment complexes and new home subdivisions, to one-of-a-kind, million-dollar custom homes. You'll finish bids in less time, with less effort and fewer mistakes than with any estimating method you've ever used before. And the Residential Solution makes it easy to offer the wide range of options and upgrades that today's housing consumers demand.

The heart of the Residential Solution is Quest Estimator. Simply use Estimator's fast, accurate and easy-to-use digitized takeoff to generate your quantities. Then combine those quantities with cost items from Estimator's database to generate a precise estimate in a fraction of the time you're used to.

To that, we add Quest's exclusive Visual Assemblies — our unique software tools designed for residential contractors that allow you to easily take off multiple items in a single pass. Are you framing a custom home, perhaps? Don't worry about counting up every single nail or measuring the total lineal footage of lumber you'll need. With the Visual Framing Assembly, all you have to do is type in some rudimentary dimensions, and the Residential Solution takes care of the rest.
