In today’s competitive construction industry, accurate and efficient project estimation is more important than ever—especially for flooring subcontractors looking to win more bids and grow their business. With the shift toward digital solutions, traditional manual takeoff methods are quickly becoming outdated. In this blog, we’ll explore how powerful online takeoff tools like MeasureSquare, RFMS, Callidus, and PlanSwift are transforming the estimation process—making it faster, more accurate, and far more professional. Whether you’re looking to boost productivity or improve the quality of your proposals, adopting these digital tools is a step toward long-term success.
