The WIN 6000 is McCormick’s flagship program and most popular. It is the fastest most customizable program on the market. It has the ability to update and compare pricing from major pricing services or multiple suppliers. With a full featured advanced audit trail and edit extension, it allows you to make changes on the fly, instantly. One of the best features is the ability to have numerous takeoff windows open at one time so you are not drilling down thru menus trying to find material. The Win 6000 is capable of covering any job in the electrical industry from small residential to high-rise office building to heavy industrial jobs as well as transmission and distribution jobs.
Step 1 Jobs
Starting a new job has never been easier. Jobs are where you store all the important information on a project, store notes on job and create an easy interface of job information. Use the paste option to copy from a template job or an earlier estimate to save time and take advantage of a previous similar takeoff.
Step 2 Labels
McCormick’s exclusive column labeling system (takeoff breakouts) has revolutionized the estimating software industry. Materials and labor identified for a takeoff can be categorized in any number of ways. Creating the label is simple. Once labels are created, just flag the desired label sets and begin your takeoff. Once set up, you can create any report you need broken down any way you want.
Step 3 Takeoff
McCormick’s patented takeoff system provides estimators with the fastest takeoff possible. Choose from basic or advanced takeoff and takeoff multiple items and/or assemblies at the same time. Example: An estimator can be taking off receptacles in one window then switches in the second window. Easily customize McCormick’s pre-built assemblies or quickly build your own all in a matter of seconds! All takeoff is sent instantly to an on-screen audit trail for reviewing. Your takeoff is saved automatically.
Step 4 Extension
Once you have entered the takeoff quantities you are ready to extend. A complete list of reports is supplied with the program. Also, see your local supplier populate your material list with today’s price; live and instant. Each extension can be setup to reflect a different level of pricing and labor. You can store unlimited name and quantity extensions for each job for later review. Material and labor reports are automatically generated and sent to the bid summary.
Step 5 Bid Summary
The last step in preparing a bid is to put the polish on the figures. Convert labor hours to labor dollars. Enter supplier quotes, subcontractors, direct job expense, tool rental, and any other costs, i.e. bond, taxes, markups, and profit! Totals for materials and labor are received from extension and sent to bid summary. McCormick’s powerful and flexible bid summary assists the estimator in making the crucial value judgment decisions necessary to generate a competitive bid price.

Any assembly can contain unlimited items which can be taken off as a unit. Both items & assemblies can be modified to fit your needs; it is easy to add, move, and edit them. Items & assemblies contain user definable specification fields. As an example, Price 1 could be your cost, Price 2 your sell price and Price 3 could be a change order price.
