The Challenge
Southern Illinois Piping Contractors LLC previously relied on Procore for their takeoffs, where each project required 10 to 16 hours to complete. The lengthy process often made it difficult to meet bid deadlines, limiting the number of projects the team could pursue.
Managing addenda added another layer of complexity, requiring estimators to manually compare drawing revisions and track changes across multiple plan sets. Valuable estimating time was spent on repetitive takeoff work instead of bidding additional projects and refining estimates.
We often couldn't meet bid dates before. Now we're regularly 2–3 days ahead of bid deadlines.
