PlanSwift is an invaluable tool when working on construction projects in a short building season such as in Alaska. By allowing you to complete estimates in only 10% of the time it would otherwise take you can spend less time estimating and more time building.
There is only so much of the year when construction is easy and advisable. Almost every part of the country has its prime season, because either it is too hot like in Phoenix, or too cold and icy like Bismarck, but Alaska is the extreme.
When it is time to build it is time to build, the days are long so a lot of work can be done in a short time frame. Then when winter settles in the dark and cold slow just about everything down. It makes for some very frantic and busy times, when there is always ten times more to do in a day then hours to do them.
Spending time estimating by hand is one task that takes a bunch of time and results in very little benefit. Especially when you have so much other work to be done.
That is why on screen estimating and takeoff software programs are becoming so popular. The time saved in using them is time that can be used to make more money, so these programs end up paying for themselves.
If you have not already done so, give estimating software a try and see how it can help you.
