Digital quantities create value beyond the bid.
When construction documents arrive, the quantities become a basis for production estimates, materials and the work ahead.
A winning bid is the beginning of the next part of the work. The estimate now needs to become a project that can be delivered, with control of what must be ordered and installed.
When the drawings arrive
In a design and build contract, complete drawings are not always available when the bid is submitted. The first estimate may therefore rely on assumptions about how the installation will be designed.
When construction documents become available, you can prepare more detailed quantities. They support the production estimate and help you compare what will actually be built with the assumptions in the original calculation.
Keep the connection to the drawing
When digital quantities remain close to the drawing, it becomes easier to review the result and understand what each row refers to. This makes the takeoff useful both for the estimator and for the person taking the project into production.
Fast takeoffs from electrical drawings are Stiimo’s speciality. The value continues when the same information is used in estimating and delivery.
