We tried a new takeoff tool against our old manual method for a school project

Our crew was bidding on a school addition in Tacoma last month. We used our usual paper plans and a scale ruler for the concrete takeoff, which took two of us about six hours. Then we ran the same plans through a new takeoff software, and it gave us a full material list in under an hour. The software caught a few missed window openings we had overlooked. Has anyone else made a switch like this and had it pay off on the first job?

Wow, tech just quietly fixes our blind spots.

Totally agree about tech fixing our blind spots. I was driving the other night and my car's safety thing beeped because I didn't see a bike in the lane next to me. It's wild how it just steps in without making a big deal. Stuff like that is everywhere now, from phones reminding you to leave for an appointment to apps catching typos. It's like having a quiet backup brain for the little things we miss.
