Every size the drawings gave you, on one sheet — and one tap to take them

A new plan sizes sheet lists every surface with its size and how that size was read, so you can accept a whole house at once instead of one check at a time.

Every size the drawings gave you, on one sheet — and one tap to take them

When BidCraft reads a builder's package it finds sizes for your surfaces, and it has always offered them one at a time: a check on the room card, the figure quoted, tap to take it. That's fine for a bathroom. On a twenty-room house it's twenty taps, and there was never a screen that showed you the whole job at once.

Now there is. On the plans card, step 3 counts what's waiting — 21 rooms ready · 12 plan sizes ready to review — and Review 12 plan sizes opens a sheet with every surface on the job listed under its room. The same link stays on the plans card's one-line summary once you've condensed it, so it doesn't disappear when you tidy the card away. Any single room whose surfaces have sizes waiting also carries a Review 3 plan sizes row in its quick checks, which opens the same sheet for just that room.

Not every size was read the same way, and now you can see which is which

This is the part that used to be buried in one sentence on one check. A drawing set gives up three different grades of number, and they are not equally trustworthy. Every row on the sheet is tagged:

  • Printed — the sheet stated the figures and we copied them down. What it printed is quoted under the row, view by view, so you can check the total against the drawing yourself.
  • Computed — the drawing printed a width and a depth, and we multiplied them. The dimensions are shown under the row.
  • Scaled — nothing was printed, so the drawn shape was measured against the sheet's scale. That's a starting point, not a measurement.
  • Yours — you already put a number on this surface. It's listed so you can see the whole room, and nothing here can change it.

Surfaces with no size at all are listed too, because a gap you can see beats a gap you find while pricing.

Scaled sizes start unticked

Printed and computed rows are ticked when the sheet opens. Scaled rows are not — they're estimates, and taking one should be your decision rather than one made for you. Tick all and Untick all are there if you'd rather work the other way round, and the button always says how many you're taking: Accept 9 plan sizes.

Every row has the sheet it came off sitting beside it. Tap it and you get the drawing, zoomable, with the spot marked. Worth doing on anything scaled.

What accepting does

The figures you tick become yours, exactly as if you'd typed them, and the rows turn to Yours on the spot. A surface you'd already measured is never touched — not by the button, not by Tick all.

One case gets its own warning. If the tile schedule already gave a surface a size and the elevations read something different, that row says what it would replace and starts unticked. The builder's own figure never gets swapped out without you choosing it.
