Cuts Bid Turnaround Time by 50%+ and Increases Bid Volume by 2.5X

As a growing painting contractor with a one-person estimating team, D&D Painting & Coatings relied entirely on manual takeoffs, with much of the estimating process spent measuring plans, reviewing scope, and verifying quantities.

Managing addenda added another layer of work, requiring manual plan reviews to identify changes before estimates could be updated.
