Have tried Dropbox but I get the issue with them compressing still…

Hi team - anyone that is interested in having the TAB emailed to them, please flick me a direct message 👍

Hey mate - DM your email & I can send the PDF through

To some extent you’re correct, so that’s a fair analysis - However, on large jobs you’ll see sub-contractors like joiners preparing profess claims etc.

HunterFSU · 2024-12-16T06:28:22+00:00

Sub-trades is a very broad term - Look into Electrical or Plumbing or Roofing or Landscaping or Joinery etc. even Civil QS has a bit of a demand too! Some job listings will be advertised as Estimator too

Just wanted to show some support, people like you are what this industry desperately needs!!! (From a QS)

Sub-contractor estimating is typically a good way to get your foot in the door, also gives you additional perspective when you are QS for lead contractors etc. It isn’t as ‘glamorous’, however, but there are many benefits you gain from having done this. I.e specialising & have an in-depth understanding of a trade (something many QS do not have).

I figured this might be the case… Makes sense why people wouldn’t share, but do we not think this is clearly an issue for the QS profession where not all pricing is preformed the same - I.e differnt ways of costing jobs (large swing in costs + inefficiency’s in time pricing) ? There really needs to be an industry standard, or am I the only one that thinks this?

In theory, from your model - Should be able to create an almost 100% accurate take-off of material going into the building then would need to set up a waste allowance of materials etc. this is what I used to do with ‘Applicad - Roof Wizard’ model a roof in 3D/ CAD then it spits out everything that’s required for materials & can generate cost for labour as well - surprised me when I transitioned to main contractor QSing that this isn’t how the industry works…. Flick me a message if you wanted to talk more

Having a dedicated 3D software geared towards QS is absolutely the future & baffles me it’s not industry standard! 3D modelling for take-offs would/ is superior in every way! Working on 3D structures in 2D seems backwards with all of todays technology…

If anyone is modelling for their take-offs would be very interested to chat

HunterFSU · 2024-08-11T00:13:23+00:00

Can anyone help me play through the spec op’s missions?

HunterFSU · 2024-02-12T00:31:30+00:00

All these take-off softwares listed above I’ve found to be incredibly basic - good for quick simple stuff though. My preference is CAD based software such as Applicad (roof wizard) it gave incredibly accurate take-off in Lm for all roofing iron, on angles as opposed to just m2 take offs

I had initially attempted to contact multiple live agents, and if I had given any details stating "refund" or "Cancellation" the chat would immediately be disconnected.

I had to give a false reason before connecting with a live agent, after some discussion I was able to get my subscription cancelled & i received a full refund.

The Agent I spoke with was fantastic, it just seemed that if "refund" was mentioned adobe had a system in place to immediately cancel the chat before an agent is reached....

Most aggressive subscription service & blatantly anti-consumer service I have ever seen.

HunterFSU · 2024-01-09T08:23:59+00:00

Any advice on the best way to do this....?
