Requests for this limited-time promotional offer must be received prior to April 30 through the CRG quantitytakeoff.com website.

Construction Research Group owner John Salmons is leveraging over 26 years of home building, framing and estimating experience to enable the efficient creation of accurate estimating data from the VisionREZ Building Information Modeling (BIM) architectural solution and other 2D CAD applications. "Having been a home builder and a framer for the ten years prior to becoming an outsource estimator has truly given me a tremendous competitive advantage in the estimating business. At one point or another in my career, I have built or installed just about every building material that I currently estimate for builders today, and have included this experience into each estimating template I create," said Salmons.
