Need Better Tools for Handling Quantity Estimation in Project Work
I hope the team and community are doing well. I work on different project-based tasks where I regularly prepare estimates, and one thing I feel missing in QBO is a smoother way to manage quantity estimation inside the estimates section. Right now, I have to calculate most quantities manually or through an outside sheet before entering them into QBO, and sometimes I even refer tools like https://tylerestimating.com/quantity-takeoff-services/
when I need quick support for quantity takeoff. It works, but it feels time-consuming, especially when we handle multiple items or changes from clients. It would be very helpful if there was an option to add simple built-in calculators or structured quantity fields that update totals automatically. I believe many small contractors, freelancers, and service providers would benefit from this kind of feature. If anyone else is facing the same challenge or has a workaround inside QBO, I would appreciate your suggestions.
