For many concrete contractors, traditional methods for construction quantification may feel safe and comfortable, but the truth is that they are risky. Manual quantifications, and even 2D software-based construction quantifications, leave projects prone to errors and miscalculations.
The risk that accompanies older methods is one of the reasons why many contractors are turning to BIM-based information management solutions, the latest in construction quantification software. Many contractors still using traditional quantification methods may be skeptical of these new tools for construction quantification. Surely these seemingly complex software tools must be difficult to learn and use, making them less efficient than reliable but tedious methods? Absolutely not. These new ways of working produce more accurate quantities, and do so faster and with fewer problems, allowing contractors who make the leap to BIM to become more competitive and win more bids.
