Your Numbers
Adjust your current estimating workload, win rate, and typical job value.
Estimates from your own inputs, using the ~50% faster takeoff Ruh measures on live work. Your results depend on your drawings and stack.
With Ruh on your takeoffs
$6.0M
Added awarded work / year
Your estimators get ~48 hrs back each month. Reinvested into bidding, that becomes:
+8
More bids you could pursue / month
+24.0
More jobs won / year, at your win rate
Or bank the time instead — the same 48 hours back, without growing the pipeline. One or the other, never both.
How This Is Calculated
At the 50% time-saving assumption, each estimate takes 12 × 0.5 = 6 hours. Across 8 bids per month, that frees approximately 48 hours.
Freed hours ÷ hours per estimate with Ruh gives 8 extra bids per month, rounded down to whole bids. 8 × 12 months × 25% win rate = 24.0 expected extra jobs per year. Multiplying by your average awarded job value gives $6.0M in added awarded work.
Hours and annual awarded value are rounded to whole units; job counts show one decimal. This is a capacity scenario, not net profit or a guaranteed return. Extra bidding uses the same freed hours; the time and awarded work are alternative outcomes.
