We are living in a world where technology is affecting all areas of our lives.
Some embrace it, and in our industry, it seems most don’t.
Many have the mindset that this is the way we have always done it. And close there minds to the potential that technology offers them.
Check out this short video about a Story of Two Steel Erectors.
There’s something to be said for doing “old-school” work. I was taught the old-school way myself, and I took a lot of pride in my manual approach to estimating and bidding…
Until I started to realize (way back in 2001) how much time I was wasting. The thought occurred to me—if I could save time, I could bid more jobs.
So I started searching for a better, faster way.
Here’s what I discovered—I was making it hard on myself by performing takeoffs and bids manually.
In today’s world, that’s like working without a cell phone or email. (I’m mean really… We’re in the 21st century. Can you imagine going back to when we didn’t’ have them?)
