Challenges

Using on-screen software such as Bluebeam and OST, takeoffs consumed 3 to 4 days per project
Due to a slow bidding process, the team was unable to meet deadlines, which led to limited bid capacity
With so much time spent on manual takeoffs, estimators were unable to prioritize high-value tasks, such as engaging with subcontractors and refining bids
Business impact
With only a few hours spent on reviewing takeoffs, the team was able to save a week on estimating tasks per project
Making adoption and training effortless with seamless navigation and an easy-to-use interface
More time for strategic planning, such as subcontractor coordination, client meetings, and refining estimates
