Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you all

Most contractors are losing HOURS every week before the real work even starts. Not on-site… Inside takeoffs, spreadsheets, revisions, and redoing estimates. I’ve been reading through the conversations here and one pattern keeps showing up: Estimating is becoming a bottleneck. Drawings change. Numbers get moved manually. Quotes take forever. One small mistake can wipe out profit. The crazy part? A lot of contractors are still doing everything manually at night after already working full days. That’s not sustainable. The contractors getting ahead right now are simplifying workflows: - Standardized templates - Better takeoff systems - AI-assisted workflows - Organized pricing databases - Less repetitive admin work Saving 5–10 hours a week may not sound huge… Until you realize that time can be used to: - Take on more projects - Improve operations - Or even build an additional income stream outside the job site Question for the group: What part of estimating wastes the MOST time for you right now?

Hey everybody As a fun experiment and because I thought Microsoft project was too annoying I built a really simple scheduling app. It allows you to do gantt charts, activity dependencies, etc. I will be adding to it and improving it. Its completely free, keen to hear your feebback https://operumscheduling.com/
