Stack revolutionizes the guessing game for general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. Swing too low and you’ll force yourself out of business with unprofitable projects or deliver low-quality work to squeeze everything in before it’s due. Thankfully there’s a better way. With RapidBid, that takes a few clicks, a few minutes, and the software tracks all of the quantities for you.Ĭounting: Imagine a plumbing project for six residential units, all with multiple bathrooms, plus kitchens and utility rooms.Estimate too high and you’ll never win any bids. It takes hours to measure piping, color and mark up plans, and note down these quantities on your notepad. Scaling and Drawing: By hand, you’ll need pencils, markers, a measuring tape and a notepad. Or you can use RapidBid to review plans and take them off directly from your screen. Let’s look at how that manual method stacks up against RapidBid.ĭrawings: You need to click in and out of folders, select the right plans, create a new file, and then have those plans printed (adding a solid dollar value to your takeoff along with work hour value). That’s all down to the amount of work that goes into a manual takeoff for a plumbing quote. A full day spent on a task that might not even deliver any work for your firm. For larger projects with piping across multiple floors or even multiple properties across a neighborhood or large scale development, contractors can spend an entire working day on a manual takeoff. Before releasing RapidBid in the USA, we hired UCLA’s professor of business psychology to research how long contractors took to prepare a quote.įive hours was the average. And that’s not a number we pulled out of thin air.
