COST?
MBS Estimating and Detailing, provides three basic services, Estimating, Detailing, and MBS Admin/Maintenance. Within these three branches of service the level of need from client to client can differ greatly. Because of this, all of our services are priced based on level of each service needed and the volume. Simply put the more we do the cheaper we get.
But the real question is not "How much do the services cost?", the real question is "How much is it costing you to not have the services?"

MBS-Estimating and Detailing, and MBS Software are not the same company.
MBS-Estimating and Detailing, is a client of MBS software, that is also recognized as the premier third party service provider. To better understand just what that means, think of MBS software as a race car. Out of the box, MBS software contains all of the parts and pieces needed to make the car go. But the difference between having a car that runs and one that is capable of winning races is the setup of those parts and pieces. That is where we come in. We help you get the most out of your MBS software by making sure those parts and pieces work together perfectly. The more accurate and efficient those parts and pieces work together the greater your chances are at winning sales.
