In short:
- Streamline project collaboration and communication with On-Screen Takeoff®.
- Integrate seamlessly with your preferred software to save time and reduce errors.
- Digital estimating tools for concrete and drywall contractors can eliminate bottlenecks for a smoother estimating workflow.
Efficient collaboration and seamless project management are critical to success in construction. Whether you’re estimating drywall for a multi-floor office project or planning a concrete foundation, manual processes like email chains and physical printouts can lead to delays, errors, and lost opportunities. This is where concrete and drywall estimating software come into play.
Here are three practical ways the right tools help you simplify collaboration, streamline processes, and win more work.
1. Simplify Collaboration with Digital Tools
Easily share takeoffs with your team. No more wasting time driving around with printouts or dealing with failed email attachments. On-Screen Takeoff makes collaboration simple with tools like the Export to Bid Package feature, allowing you to share entire projects seamlessly.
On-Screen Takeoff’s Export to Bid Package makes sharing complete project files easy. This tool allows teams to pick up exactly where a project was left off, even if someone steps away. A user of On-Screen Takeoff sums it up perfectly:
“A favorite feature of mine is the export tool. It’s amazing because you can wrap everything up into one file and share it with someone else. They can unpack it and have everything they need right there—it’s all set up for them. For example, if I go on vacation, I can hand off the project, and my teammate can pick it up, load the file, and carry it through to the finish line. It’s great!”
For secure and efficient project sharing, you can also use Project Express
2. Streamline Workflows with Integration
Disconnected tools can slow down your workflow. On-Screen Takeoff integrates effortlessly with your existing software, allowing you to share data across platforms instantly.
- Integrates with Quick Bid® Professional Estimating software and automatically synchronizes your bid data between the two.
- Connects your takeoff results directly to your favorite Excel workbook.
- Export your results to a CSV file to import into your estimating solution.
By streamlining these connections, you can save time, avoid errors, and focus on fine-tuning your bids rather than fixing broken workflows.
3. Eliminate Communication Bottlenecks
One of the biggest challenges in the construction industry is ensuring everyone on a team has access to the most up-to-date information. Outdated plans or missing details can lead to revisions, delays, and costly mistakes.
On-Screen Takeoff provides real-time updates and centralized access to project details, eliminating the risk of miscommunication. Teams no longer need to rely on back-and-forth emails or constant follow-ups to stay informed. Instead, each team member can access the latest documents instantly, ensuring smooth collaboration throughout the estimating process.
For teams that prefer physical documents, On-Screen Takeoff also supports high-quality printed plans, including takeoff data and a detailed image legend. This flexibility allows you to adapt your workflow to any situation, whether you’re presenting to clients in-office or discussing revisions on-site.
