A tag is not a balcony

Anyone who has taken quantities off a PDF knows this. Search for the tag, put the count in the RFQ. Nobody opens every sheet to check each hit is drawn, so the count holds until the units arrive and don't match the building.

One case on our Try page: a balcony order counted by searching the floor plans. Yesper matched every tag to a balcony actually drawn. The search counted 28 too many, key plan tags on a layer that doesn't print, and $435,700 came off the quote. The schedule was short instead: corner balconies with no tag.

You order what's drawn, before the PO goes out. The surplus turns up in the check instead of on the truck. Same for any takeoff, any supplier quote, and the rest of the Try page: quantities from an IFC model, a comparison of vendor quotes.
