Room measurements, and the digital floor plans created using them, are the critical basis for most well-crafted estimates. They are essential for determining the quantities of material and labor needed to repair a structure and the overall cost of the repair.
Measurements are also a common source of redundant work when estimators write or record dimensions for later entry into an estimating system. Estimators often juggle tape measures, pens, pencils, note pads, laptops, tablets, laser distance measurers, and so on as they constantly switch from one device to the other when taking and recording measurements.
