Why Use Integer?

Top 3 reasons why smart business owners, managers and homeowners use Integer? 

  1. Save Money.  Why pay for a full-time estimator if you only need one occasionally?
  2. Reduce Stress.  If you’re bidding a project with $50,000 in materials, doesn’t it make sense to pay a few hundred dollars and double check those numbers? 
  3. Free your Life.  Don’t you have better things to do on the weekend than complete take-offs? 

Who Uses Integer?

Top 3 categories of intelligent folks that are using Integer? 

  1. Masonry Contractors.  You do the work, you’re responsible for the numbers, don’t you want to make sure you have them right?
  2. Homeowners. Need a hand figuring some items for a do-it-yourself project?  Want to make sure your contractor isn’t taking you for a ride?
  3. Architects.  You’re the one that gets blamed for the cost of a change order if detail A doesn’t match elevation C and the specs say something different all together.  Doesn’t it make sense to pay a few hundred dollars and get a comprehensive review?  It sure seems like a lot less money than a $20,000 change order to us. 

What Do You Get?

Top 3 best returns on your investment when you use Integer? 

  1. Comprehensive Take-off.  This complete list of required materials makes it easy to bring to multiple vendors for pricing.  
  2. Question Log.  An exhaustive list of all discrepancies, omissions and unclear items form the plans and specs.  This list is invaluable for reducing change orders, clarifying scopes and preventing misunderstandings between multiple parties looking at the same set of plans. 
  3. Project Overview.  A breakdown of everything that’s going on in your scope for the project, making it easy to double check your labor numbers.  You need more than just a list saying you need 5,000 brick, you need to know how many of those bricks are on rowlocks, piers and interior fireplaces.
