Multi-version Drawing Comparison:
Overlay different versions of construction drawings (e.g., initial vs. revised) and highlight differences in distinct colors to avoid missing cost impacts from changes.
Identify the effect of design changes on costs (e.g., wall position adjustments, material substitutions).
3. Cost Estimation & Quoting
Markup & Annotation:
Directly annotate material unit prices, labor rates, and other cost details on drawings, linking measurements to generate preliminary quotes.
4. Progress Tracking & Cost Monitoring
Progress Marking:
Mark completed areas on construction drawings (e.g., "1F Rebar Completed") and compare actual costs against the budget.
Use image insertion to document on-site changes as evidence for claims or final accounts.
