To make a profit in the insulation trade, it’s essential to carefully and efficiently manage all the costs associated with your projects. This can be easier said than done, especially when you’re doing lengthy take-offs and estimates for all your potential projects. Here’s how RapidBid can simplify all of that for you.

Manual insulation estimates waste time and money

To understand how RapidBid really makes a difference for insulation contractors, it’s important to consider the alternative. Perhaps your current workflow goes something like this:

Receiving a large number of files from your potential client, containing the plans for a project
Manually sorting the files to determine which ones are relevant for insulation
Sending the selected plans to be printed
Collecting the drawings and finding somewhere to work on them
Laying out the drawings and getting your pens, pencils, highlighters, rulers etc.
Painstakingly examining, drawing, writing down, adding up, calculating and counting
Transferring everything to your takeoff sheet
Checking and double checking everything
Correcting any mistakes you made the first time and recalculating
Transferring everything again to your estimate, and checking again
Entering all your prices and manually calculating the totals
Transferring the estimate yet again into a format you can send to the client

This is really simplified and there might be more steps, but you can immediately see how much time is involved. You probably know all this from experience, but thinking about it in these terms goes some way to explaining why your profits may not be as high as you’d hope. Ultimately, this time is wasted, and that costs you money.

“I have a mate who is an electrical contractor and he was telling me that he spent three weeks pricing a $200,000 job by hand. I told him that with my estimating and PDF take off software, I started a $700,000 job yesterday and finished it today!”

“As much as I would hate to help any of my competitors, I have to completely endorse RapidBid in all that it offers for a business. Our quotation rate has increased from 50 to over 200 quotations per month.”

“RapidBid is a lifesaver. It’s so easy to use, I just open the drawings and within minutes I have scaled, marked and priced up all my materials and labour. It has increased the speed that we can win work four times over, at least.”

AL Contract Services

“At last, take-offs for the 21^st century! After years spent marking up drawings with highlighters and producing takeoff sheets, this is a revolution in estimating. Just can’t live without it – I now takeoff five projects in the time it used to take to do just one.”

MJL Contracts

“Now, overall from top to bottom, RapidBid’s software saves me about 70% of my time, and that makes an amazing difference. Quotes that took me five days before now take me less than two days, and I’ve only been estimating since January.”

JKM Contracts

“I work as an estimator Monday-to-Friday, 9-to-5, and your software and support is first class. I can takeoff and price well over 10 drawings in less than an hour, this used to take me half a day before! I just love how simple it is.”

Wiltons

We used to do takeoffs with a scale ruler and a pencil which was very time consuming, and now we have a much quicker takeoff time. We only spend around 1 or 2 hours doing takeoffs with RapidBid’s software and before it used to take us about 5 or 6 hours.

AG Contracting

“We used to have a three or four-process estimate which was over-complicated, but now we have a simple, one-process estimate. We definitely recommend!”

Pure Services Group

“Time saving is the biggest advantage for us by far. RapidBid saved us about 80% of our time and increased our productivity 50%.”

Environ Group

“Our monthly quotation output has increased from 60 to in excess of 180 quotations per month. That is a staggering 300% increase.”

Software to make your work easier (and more profitable)

With RapidBid, most of the steps we mentioned above are either removed or dramatically cut down. For a start, there’s no need to deal with physical stationery or paper printouts. All you need is your computer screen, mouse and keyboard to complete the entire process.

Opening the files you require is simpler, because the software lets you quickly preview each drawing from a list or folder full of different plans. Only some of these will be relevant for insulation, so you can just click these ones and head to the next step within a few seconds.

When you have a suitable drawing open, the intuitive take-off tools and view controls make it easy to move around a drawing and find everything you need to. Measurements can be taken at the click of a mouse, including areas and volumes. Colour-coded layers can be created, hidden or highlighted to help you focus on what you’re working on.

With a range of powerful additional tools, you’ll find it easy to manipulate and analyse your drawings in record time. When you’re done, all the numbers will be pulled through to your estimate sheet. This method is a major shortcut compared to doing everything manually.
