Anybody use flooring software like RFMS or fcB2B?

[VendorPriceBook]

fcB2B is kind of like an advocate for flooring companies to use software, but the more I talk to flooring professionals, there seems to be no industry standard. For as many people who use software, a lot of people don't see the need.

What are your guys' thoughts?

I am old school. I see no need for software for installers.

 

[Ernesto]

do my layouts on paper, if I used a software program I'd have to charge more and I'm too expensive already for most.

That stuff works great for large commercial.

Let me clarify. We have to be exact. We can't estimate sizes and yards.

If I had one option, I'd go for the plans. Never could trust a cut sheet............. then again, I haven't been offered either for half a dozen years.
Here's your carpet, go put it in.

Is it on wood or concrete?
Been a bit, I don't remember.

How much metal?
I think a couple of doorways.

Any furniture to move?
I think they are going to move the small stuff.

Can I make a couple of cuts?
You probably ought to do the tearout and take some pad, and maybe measure the cuts.

Any tile or wood that needs to be ramped up?
I think they put in some tile.

How much?
Not sure, I think just the entry.

In town?
yep.

Homeowner at home or is the door open?
I don't know, here's the phone number.

Do they have a cel # ?
Oh, let me get that for you too.

I need a roll of seam tape.
We'll have some here tomorrow morning...................

High you forgot what's the address. Is the number on the side of the house, on a rock, tree, or where. I was told look for a red and yellow Surge milking sign on a oak tree. In the country and farmland do you know how many oak trees that have Surge milking signs?

I was told to turn at the apple tree. It was the middle of winter.
