Ask estimators what actually eats their week and it's rarely the estimating itself 🙀

It's a lot of work like reading through every incoming drawing, pulling dimensions by hand, checking material prices and redoing the math when a quantity changes.

The hidden prep work before the work even starts. 🛠️📉
