Every construction project depends on accurate estimates. They shape budgets, schedules, and materials. Yet too often, creating them is slow, tedious, and prone to mistakes. A single miscalculation can ripple across a job, leading to wasted materials, blown timelines, and costly rework. Builders need a faster, smarter way to build estimates. That is exactly what Point-to-Point and Measurement Snapping in Digs deliver.
Accuracy Costs Time. Inaccuracy Costs Money.
Estimates are not just numbers on a page. They determine how much material to order, how crews schedule their work, and how costs are tracked against budget. Even small errors can derail a project, creating overruns and unhappy clients.
Traditional estimating, whether measuring by hand, clicking point by point, or manually adjusting dimensions, creates too many chances for mistakes. Builders do not have time to double-check every line.
With Digs, estimates become faster, more accurate, and more collaborative. Instead of working across disconnected tools, estimates live in one centralized source of truth. Trades and project teams can collaborate in real time, reducing errors and keeping every project moving smoothly.
Features That Unlock Estimates in a Snap
Point-to-Point Measurements
• Measure custom shapes, angles, and irregular layouts
• Get instant area and linear calculations
• Color-code by material and edit points with ease
Measurement Snapping
• Points automatically lock to walls, corners, and edges
• Faster estimating with fewer mistakes
• Professional-grade precision without extra effort
These tools make estimating seamless, allowing you to move through plans quickly, capture complex layouts without second-guessing, and deliver dependable numbers every time.
The Payoff: Time Savings and Fewer Costly Mistakes
When Point-to-Point and Measurement Snapping work together, estimates in Digs deliver measurable benefits.
• Save hours on every project by eliminating manual adjustments
• Avoid costly errors that stem from imprecise measurements
• Collaborate with confidence knowing everyone is working from the same accurate data
Other estimating tools force you to choose between speed and accuracy. Digs gives you both.

Why Builders Are Choosing Digs
For builders, estimators, and project managers, accurate estimates are a competitive advantage. They protect margins, speed up workflows, and prevent rework. By spending less time on manual measuring and fixing fewer errors later, you keep projects moving forward and budgets on track.
Digs bridges the gap between simple measuring tools and complex pro-grade software, offering precision without unnecessary complexity.
Because at the end of the day, estimates are not a place for mistakes. They are the foundation of building smarter, faster, and with greater reliability.
