Bidscreen XL

The full, working takeoff and estimation BidScreen XL software may be downloaded and installed at no charge. Feel free to evaluate this software for 14 days of use. There are two versions of Excel and BidScreen XL, 32 bit and 64 bit.  If the Excel version installed is 32 bit you must install the 32 bit version of BidScreen XL.  If the Excel version is 64 bit, the 64 bit version of BidScreen XL must be installed.  To verify the version of Excel, open Excel, click File | Account | About Excel button and at the end of the first line, the number of bits is disclosed.  Please install the proper version of BidScreen XL once the Excel number of bits (i.e. 32 or 64) is verified.  After installing BidScreen XL, an Excel workbook opens. Please follow the instructions for adding BidScreen XL to Excel.
