Beginnings:

Mr. Amrein began working with Master Builder software in 1987 and officially became a consultant January 1, 1988, working with Master Builder versions 3 and 4. He built the first estimating data solution for Master Builder 5 in 1990, which sold approximately 100 copies and became the basis for the sample data distributed with Master Builder 7 and 2003.

Training:

In February of 1996, Ronald accepted an offer to work in the Technical Support department, answering calls concerning the new Master Builder version 6, the first Windows version of the software. The need for training became very apparent and in January 1997 he began building the Training department. The first task was selecting and training a group of Master Trainers and re-starting the customer seminars. Next to be tackled was the on-line training arrangement which made product information more accessible. He then built a comprehensive training program for the consultants (Pro-Advisors), including certification testing. Finally, he added hands-on workshops to improve the retention of the information presented.

Management and beyond:

During the time he was working on training, he was a member of the management team of Omware, Inc. In addition, he has assisted with the design of Master Builder versions 6, 7, and 2003. Both as an employee and as a consultant, he has assisted in the planning and organization of the conference.

In May of 2001, the president of the company asked Mr. Amrein to start another new project: Estimating Data. He managed the group that built 4 sets of data for the estimating module, as well as revising the 2 others. In the process, Ronald authored a universal part numbering scheme for which Intuit has filed a patent application.
