• Manual plan takeoffs can consume 4-6 hours per average single-family home.
• Re-keying dimensions into spreadsheets increases the risk of costly errors.
• Last-minute material price changes necessitate time-consuming rework.
• Estimators, project managers, and field crews often lack a unified source of truth.
• Paper notes and email threads can lead to scope gaps that erode profit margins.
• Static assemblies fail to reflect real-time supplier costs.
• Guesswork around waste factors and labor productivity reduces competitiveness.
