Why does estimating eat the whole week when the takeoff updates keep changing

Most of it goes to repeating work: re-checking, re-asking and re-reconciling every time a model moves. Without a shared record, a moved wall sends you back through email, Teams and the markup pile.

<p>Most of it goes to repeating work: re-checking, re-asking and re-reconciling every time a model moves. Without a shared record, a moved wall sends you back through email, Teams and the markup pile.</p> <p>Here is where those hours go, and what BidLight does with each:</p> <ul><li><strong>Finding the current version.</strong> About 11 hours a week. Every export is a versioned snapshot, so there is one answer.</li><li><strong>Working out what changed.</strong> Revisions compare element by element, so you get it in about 15 minutes instead of a 90-minute meeting.</li><li><strong>Chasing owners.</strong> The 6am digest tells each person what they hold.</li><li><strong>Reopened issues.</strong> Issues close only with a screenshot, a tagged user and the linked model commit.</li><li><strong>Reconstructing history.</strong> The record is kept as the work happens.</li></ul> <p>Fix the repeat loop and the week goes back to solving problems in the model.</p>
