But that\u2019s just the beginning<\/h2>\n<p>Musselman &amp; Hall has been a mainstay in the Midwest contracting scene since 1914. But being a friendly face with a century of experience doesn\u2019t mean everything is plain sailing. For Musselman &amp; Hall, the problem was a common culprit: software.<\/p>\n<p>Despite it being familiar, their quantity estimation software was outdated, slowing productivity, putting timelines at risk and denting morale as frustrations ran high with a clunky interface.<\/p>\n<p>It also didn\u2019t work natively with PDFs, the fast-becoming industry standard. Musselman &amp; Hall needed a radical new solution \u2013 and fast.<\/p>\n<p>After an exhaustive search, there was one clear winner: Bluebeam. The comprehensive AEC software trusted by over 3m people worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>While Bluebeam allowed Musselman &amp; Hall to deliver more accurate estimations faster than ever with Bluebeam, quantity estimation was only the beginning.<\/p>\n<h3>An effortless transition<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike many options Musselman &amp; Hall looked at, Bluebeam didn\u2019t demand the company overhaul their operation overnight.<\/p>\n<p>While the team started their Bluebeam training &#8211; supported by on-demand resources and on-hand experts &#8211; they wrapped up any projects tied to their old software.<\/p>\n<p>A few months later, everyone was proficient and confident enough to use Bluebeam for nearly all their new projects. By the end of the fiscal year, Musselman &amp; Hall had switched its entire quantity estimation operation to Bluebeam.<\/p>\n<p>For the company, the rollout and adoption were a huge success, proving that big changes in established businesses don\u2019t have to be hard.<\/p>\n<h3>Saving time and saving money<\/h3>\n<p>One of the biggest savings for Musselman &amp; Hall was time. Here\u2019s how pre-construction manager Christopher Leheney summed up the radical change from Bluebeam: &#8220;If I were to really try to put hours to a month based on the output of bids we do, I would say you\u2019re probably saving at least three to four hours a week per estimator, per bid.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, that could be 60 hours a month, three to four hours a week per individual, and you\u2019re probably getting a net total of 60 hours a month from an estimator.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the company, the dramatic saving meant higher productivity, faster bid turnaround and, of course, significant cost reductions. All while boosting accuracy at the same time. In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/ai-in-aeco-bluebeam\/139867\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increasingly competitive market<\/a>, it was a game-changer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-142073 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/BB-Musselman-Hall-Contractors-Case-Study-Inline_900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Computers representing quantity estimation\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/BB-Musselman-Hall-Contractors-Case-Study-Inline_900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/BB-Musselman-Hall-Contractors-Case-Study-Inline_900x600-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/BB-Musselman-Hall-Contractors-Case-Study-Inline_900x600-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/BB-Musselman-Hall-Contractors-Case-Study-Inline_900x600-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/BB-Musselman-Hall-Contractors-Case-Study-Inline_900x600-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/BB-Musselman-Hall-Contractors-Case-Study-Inline_900x600-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Beyond quantity estimation<\/h3>\n<p>But it wasn\u2019t just in quantity estimation that Musselman &amp; Hall benefited from. The team quickly discovered Bluebeam\u2019s extensive suite of features and tools, all housed on the same intuitive platform.<\/p>\n<p>For project managers alone, the possibilities were staggering. As Leheny said: &#8220;Project managers discovered this thing called RFI Format, where there\u2019s already <a href=\"https:\/\/support.bluebeam.com\/articles\/how-to-create-and-track-rfis-in-bluebeam-cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pre-built RFIs<\/a> within Bluebeam that we didn\u2019t know we had, and we had no process in our company for that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So that was a template and a structure that helped project managers almost immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When it came to reviewing documents and drawings, Musselman &amp; Hall turned to Bluebeam Studio. An online workspace that makes real-time collaboration possible, easy and fun \u2014 from anywhere on any device. Leheney says they\u2019ve begun to use Studio Sessions for real-time document collaboration on many larger projects.<\/p>\n<p>A last internal win for Musselman &amp; Hall was somewhat unexpected. As an employee owned<br \/>\nbusiness, the positive change from Bluebeam rippled across the whole company, boosting morale and engagement in every department.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone is invested,&#8221; Leheney said. &#8220;Everyone wants to see the company succeed and thrive. And with a program like Bluebeam, you get more collaboration, and I think that\u2019s a cool thing to see when everyone has the same goal in mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 18pt;\">&#8220;While Bluebeam allowed Musselman &amp; Hall to deliver more accurate estimations faster than ever with Bluebeam, quantity estimation was only the beginning.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Making the best impression<\/h3>\n<p>As the saying goes, inner peace brings outer joy. For Musselman &amp; Hall, switching to Bluebeam was just that. In fact, the faster workflows and more streamlined processes were felt far beyond their doors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve been told that we\u2019re kind of \u2018next level\u2019 compared to our competition as far as having a dialogue back and forth on cost changes or just overall project details,&#8221; Leheney said.<\/p>\n<p>While it was still Musselman &amp; Hall\u2019s exceptional team communicating with clients, Bluebeam was the software they needed to do their best job.<\/p>\n<p>So, while Musselman &amp; Hall set out to find a replacement for their rickety estimation software, they found much, much more. A solution to their problem, a comprehensive set of new tools and a positive impact on company culture and clients far and wide.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to discover what Bluebeam can do for you?<\/p>\n<p>Discover Bluebeam:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebeam.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.bluebeam.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bluebeam is helping contractors estimate faster, increase accuracy and stay competitive.
