Manual quantity takeoffs eat half of your bidding cycle

Still spending hours manually tracing plans and calculating quantities?

Manual takeoffs slow down bidding and hurt profitability

Manual takeoffs are time-intensive, especially with large-scale or multiple projects. Estimators struggle to generate accurate material quantity lists quickly enough, leading to missed opportunities and rushed estimates that negatively impact profitability.

50% of your bid cycle is spent doing revisions

Manual takeoffs consume 50% of your bid cycle, with revisions forcing you to redo everything. This leaves little room for refining estimates, coordinating with vendors, or optimizing bids, translating to a poor win rate.
