In this episode, I demonstrate how I utilize technology to simplify and streamline the process of creating quotes and estimates using the latest technology available in 2024. The video showcases how I measured a deck using a Leica Disto D8 and utilized the built-in camera to obtain accurate measurements from a distance. I then illustrate how I draw site notes on grid paper in preparation for the estimating process. Furthermore, I demonstrate how to create 3D representations of the pavilion, deck, joists, rafters, hips, beams, roof, fascia, and gutter using PlusDesignBuild for SketchUp. Subsequently, I generate a detailed Bill Of Quantities (BOQ) to estimate and submit a client quote.
Once the client quote is finalized, I send the quote and purchase orders to Xero to monitor the project's running balance.
Learning to build before you build is the key to reducing waste and error and ultimately becoming a better builder or carpenter.
