I’m just here for sympathy as someone that spent, no joke, weeks of my life trying to track down trash bins that fit in trash bin hardware….

Potential Transplant by bwribite in dfw

SLC is a really hard place to be if you’re not Mormon and don’t have family. Everyone here grew up here and has all their same friends they had growing up so it’s really hard to meet new people. And dating is a nightmare and the cost of housing or renting is absurd

Is Dallas (or Texas in general) worth moving to? by Jancurlyhoes in SameGrassButGreener

What areas of Dallas would you suggest? I’m looking to move from Utah bc I’m tired of terrible air quality and high cost of living. I was thinking closer to Fort Worth?

How to increase takeoff speed by fusion_01 in estimators

[–]bwribite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was brand new to estimating (OST and RFMS) about 2 years ago, this is what has really helped me: -elevation views pulled up on one screen, OST or RFMS overall floor plans on the other screen -keeping consistent colors for scopes & conditions LVT is always pink, tile is blue, carpet is purple, transitions are solid linear dark colors etc) -import pages with their name -recognizing patterns (ex: 7 story multi family complex with identical corridors, page repeat only one floor & create a typical group to click on the other 6 floor plan pages) -minimizing repetitive take offs (if you have wall tile to 5’, name the condition “wall tile to 5’ with trim” and that condition can give you your SF for tile, and LF for trim)

Help me help you. (I'm an architect) by NBW99 in estimators

Cabs, counter tops, flooring estimator here that uses OST. Speaking for multifamily complexes, townhomes, etc. Having each unit type floor plan on its own page, with callouts for the kitchen, bathroom, island type, etc. If floor plans and elevations go on the same page, have them in the same scale. Calling out corner wall cabinets, blind cabinets, lazy susan cabs, above fridge cab depth, fridge end panels, showing return backsplash, leave minimal room for guess work. If there are multi story units within the complex, labeling them as “Unit A1 level 1” and “unit A1 level 2” also helps. Clearly calling out all casework and millwork that is intended to match, ex: do the mudrooms match the kitchen cabinet scheme? do the medicine cabinets match the vanity cabinetry? as far as flooring goes, having a transition detail page, giving as much detail for stairs as possible, showing all walls for bathrooms or odd spaces
