Live collaborationon bills & estimates

Three ways
to collaborate live

Bill changes, teammate presence, and broadcast updates — everything practices need to estimate and measure together in QSNAPP.

Presence

See who is active on a bill or estimate so the practice avoids conflicting edits.

Broadcast

Push cursors, selection highlights, and review notes to everyone on the same project channel.

QSNAPP takes the friction out of shared estimating — the team stays on the same BoQ without chasing spreadsheet versions.
