How does this integrate with existing software? Given how change resistant construction tends to be, have you considered that these workflows are culturally embedded (at least in the US) rather than just a work process that can be swapped?

Hey,
So we don't integrate with existing software, we are a stand alone tool that takes the files of existing software and produce the output in same software only.
We are not swapping the workflows we are making them easy and fast with software.
Thanks!

i’ve found these tools tend to be most readily adopted at the spec, estimate/quote and sales engineering phases. the output becomes part of a proposal.

so you are not proposing this as a design engineering tool? I'm confused

No, we are not selling the software right now.
We are using it in-house,thus becoming only tech-based consulting firm providing drawings at superior speed & quality.
But the future vision is to convert it into SaaS.

I'm not asking about who is operating it. I'm asking about what it is being used. Can you articulate specifically what it is being used to do? Is it estimate BOM's? perform layouts? etc. There are many automated layout tools...all of which still require human (engineer) review.
