CHALLENGE:
Evaluating
options to
maximize
profitability
takes too long
So often, finding the best route
to a competitive and profitable
estimate means testing different
scenarios, connections or materials.
Especially if done in 2D, the weighing
of options can be time consuming,
requiring you to draw by hand and
recalculate quantities and costs. As
an estimator, this takes time you
can't afford to waste and diminishes
the potential for quickly creating a
competitive bid.
SOLUTION:
Working in 3D simplifies the process of evaluating alternative
structural solutions. Estimators can quickly drag and drop
various materials, connections, etc. into the model. With this
automation, you can easily and quickly explore options to
find the most competitive and cost effective solution.
