What they do

Problem

Construction estimators for Division 8 spend excessive time doing manual takeoffs from specs and hardware sets, leading to costly omissions and bid margin risk.

Solution

Fresco is an AI copilot that automates Division 8 takeoff and estimating for doors, frames, and hardware with high accuracy and major time savings.

Who it's for

General contractors and Division 8 subcontractor estimators who bid and estimate door, frame, and hardware scopes.
