PBG Precon

Knowledge center

Preconstruction resources

In development

Practical material on reviewing drawings, taking off quantities, writing scope and leveling bids — the working knowledge behind the software.

Available now

  • PBG Precon user guide

    A complete walkthrough of every module — indexing a set, running review, calibrating scale, generating scope, building an estimate and leveling bids. Available in the app and as a downloadable PDF.

In progress

The knowledge center is being written now. Planned guides cover how to review construction drawings, a construction takeoff guide, how to level construction bids, a preconstruction checklist, architectural and structural coordination, common drawing conflicts, how to write a subcontractor scope of work, the custom home preconstruction process, and a construction RFI guide.

Each will be written from real project experience rather than assembled from generic advice, which is slower — and the reason they are published one at a time instead of all at once.
