In this episode of Beers with Contractors, host Will and Terry banter about Terry’s Florida trip and a new studio they joke is a “death trap,” then welcome Ryan Weiss, Director of Business Development at ArcSite. Ryan explains ArcSite as a mobile-first drawing, estimation, takeoff, and proposal platform used in the field on an iPad to create project drawings, drag-and-drop products from a robust library spanning 50+ industries, auto-calculate quantities and pricing, and generate polished proposals with payment and digital signature options. The discussion covers how proposal presentation and visuals build trust, how onboarding customizes products, calculations, margins, labor, and taxes, and how the tool reduces errors and keeps reps consistent. Ryan shares common proposal mistakes (too little info, too much technical detail, limited payment options, lack of easy signing), ROI via reduced time on site, and upcoming features like topographic mapping, deeper supplier/manufacturer integrations (e.g., NCFI, SRS), and AI-assisted guidance and proposal creation.
