Zounis Constructions set up their business for success, using tools that make them more efficient and more profitable.
Construction estimating is a major element of construction management. The construction industry relies on accurate cost estimates for both simple and complex projects.
Many large construction companies understand the importance of a construction proposal, but it is often overlooked by smaller builders and remodelers. That is usually because they don't understand what a construction proposal actually is.
The construction takeoff process when done manually with paper plans and a scale ruler is time-consuming and frustrating. It’s a process that often requires repetitive work while still resulting in inaccuracies. Because construction takeoffs are a necessary part of the construction industry, having a takeoff process that is efficient and accurate, is essential.
