Measure on top of the count

Add measured lengths to every client takeoff, not just counts. Lengths are worked out exactly from each sheet's confirmed scale. The AI traces; the math is done in code.

Ask about your local code

Keep code books for each region you serve and ask questions per project. Answers quote the code books your company uploads and follow the project's province or state. They are a reference, not legal advice.
