Dan McNeillie

## Key Points - Dan appreciated the product layout but hasn't had much time to interact - Previous upload of non-straight school building was beneficial for training data diversity - Federal government school buildings for indigenous people are intentionally curved (spiritual reasons) - Detection was poor on irregular buildings — models being retrained - Currently only reliably detects panel schedules - Dan's team does full working takeoff on every project (not sq ft multipliers) unless heavily time-constrained ## Pain Points Mentioned - Job selection (to bid or not to bid) is the biggest challenge, not job details - Full working takeoff is correct but time-consuming approach - Manufacturers pushing BOM responsibility to contractors ## Product Feedback - Dashboard is helpful but doesn't fully solve bid/no-bid decision - Partial BOM download is valuable - Switch gear detection is most reliable feature — prioritize it - Focus on big feeders and single line diagrams over branch routing - Mechanical equipment typically supplied by mechanical contractor (99% of the time) - Reliable counts for lighting, receptacles, and low voltage/telecom symbols important ## Next Steps - Hold off on uploads until broken elements are fixed (next week) - Continue uploading diverse drawings after fixes
