We all know how important it is to have the right data in your model. Your content needs to provide a high level of detail so that the design of your model can simplify the contractor's experience and help get the job done dependably, accurately, and repeatably.
But how exactly should you go about collecting the data your model requires? Do you DIY (do-it-yourself) or use a managed content subscription? In this guide, we will take a look at the differences between the two and provide you with a worksheet to accurately calculate which method is more cost-efficient for your business.
