Hey everyone, I'm looking for a few trade businesses to have a quick chat on where they're at with the operational side of things and where they wish they could shave down manual admin to spent more time on actually getting through jobs. If you're running a construction or trade business and takeoffs, quoting or admin feel like they're eating your time, i'd love to hear what specific pain points you're trying to reduce in your current setup. Drop a comment or DM me if you're keen to chat. And if you want to stay in the loop with what i'm building, mailing list is here https://rignite.com.au/ Cheers, James

I am looking for an AI assistance in estimating

Hey everyone, I’m James, based in Sydney. Over the last little while I’ve been deep in the weeds on how residential contractors actually do their estimating/quoting and takeoffs day to day. The more people I talk to, the more it seems like this part of the business is a massive bottleneck. Some of the patterns I keep hearing: - Nights and weekends lost measuring off PDFs just to get a quote out the door - Drawings changing and having to redo big chunks of work from scratch - Numbers getting moved from plans to spreadsheets to BOQs, and just hoping there isn’t a fat‑finger mistake in there somewhere I’m currently working on an automation to streamline a lot of this and cut down the grunt work. Not here to pitch or drop links mainly keen to sanity-check what I’m doing against what you’re actually dealing with on the ground. So I’m curious: what’s the most broken or frustrating part of your current takeoff / quoting workflow? Keen to learn from you guys and happy to share what I’m seeing as well. Cheers, James
