DMI surveyed 470 wall and ceiling subcontractors in June 2003, asking participants two basic questions:

What product does your company use to prepare estimates?
What would help your company bid more successfully?

Respondents to the 2003 survey shared one legitimate complaint:

"The software system we use lacks relevant, effective data."

(Paraphrased - expletives deleted!)

Today, the construction software industry continues to provide the same static data. Amazingly, this is essentially the same data originally published in print format many decades ago. Estimators working with this static data waste precious time throughout the bidding process.

Saddled with static data, even the best estimators using the best software struggle to succeed. Estimators routinely find themselves in similar predicaments: fudge the numbers, or waste time incessantly "reinventing the wheel." Working with static data can even frustrate some estimators into making catastrophic blunders.

Most contractors in the commercial building industry inevitably invest hundreds (often thousands) of hours working on data-building projects, regardless of how much money they’ve already shelled out for construction estimating software. Ironically, after all those hours of data building, their once-promising new software system still remains awkward, at best.
