Field notes

GROUT is presented as a document-processing layer for Dutch construction tenders: it groups drawings, schedules, and specification clauses by chapter, flags missing material, and attaches sources to estimating lines. The page describes a pilot involving 58 files and IFC models, where 75.3% of line items reportedly had the right supporting documents immediately available. Its calculator uses a conservative 50% savings assumption, while the cited pilot measured 87%.
