What we can't tell you yet
Which tool is better for your work. That needs testing on the same package with a verified answer key. Planned measures for this comparison:
- Time to log and close a punch item from the field in each app
- Outside Means & Methods Lab's benchmark scope (the benchmark covers takeoff, drawing review, and contract & spec review).
