What is Sharp Pencil?

Sharp Pencil provides an advanced commercial roofing takeoff service, utilizing AI technology to assist contractors and estimators. Clients can upload their plan sets and specifications for thorough evaluation, resulting in accurate measurements for various low-slope roofing systems, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs, in addition to components such as insulation, tapered assemblies, parapets, edge metal, drains, curbs, and penetrations. Each takeoff undergoes a careful review by a roofing specialist before it is presented in a workbook format, which not only cites the original drawings but also offers a register for any open questions (RFI). Customers generally receive their finalized takeoff within 48 hours, ensuring a quick turnaround. Alongside the takeoff, the deliverables might include a materials order list and a customized proposal for clients who share their pricing details. This service is designed for a wide range of commercial projects, such as new constructions, reroofing, repairs, and mixed-system roofs, while it is not applicable to residential projects. The first takeoff for a live bid is offered at no charge, with the option to obtain further takeoffs on a per-drawing basis or through subscription plans. This efficient system not only saves time but also empowers contractors to optimize their bidding processes, thereby improving their competitive edge in the industry. Ultimately, Sharp Pencil aims to simplify the complexities of roofing takeoffs for its clients, allowing them to focus more on project execution.

What is BUILDMASTER?

For over thirty years, The Building Software Co. has been developing innovative software solutions tailored for builders and related trades, working alongside both large and small construction companies throughout New Zealand and Australia. Established in the late 1980s by a builder passionate about technology, the company emerged at a time when the market lacked any software to ease the burdensome and intricate processes of estimating and creating quotes for construction projects. Aware of the considerable benefits such a tool could bring, they set out to create a software solution of their own. The first iteration of BuildMaster was introduced in 1987, and from that moment onward, the aim has been to perpetually refine the software, positioning it as the leading solution in Australasia. Users benefit from capabilities that allow them to compute quantities with integrated formulas, price items using data from chosen suppliers, and produce accurate, professional quotations for their clients, thereby optimizing the entire estimating workflow. As the software has progressed, it has adapted to the evolving demands of the industry while steadfastly prioritizing quality and user satisfaction. This commitment has helped the company maintain a strong reputation and foster lasting relationships with its clientele.
