Automated Drywall Plan Addendum Alerts
Every morning, WebRun scans your Google Drive plans folder for newly posted addenda and revised sheets, checks which active drywall estimates in The EDGE they touch, and posts a Microsoft Teams alert listing exactly which takeoffs need a re-check before the bid goes out.
How do I get alerted when a plan addendum affects a drywall takeoff?
WebRun scans your Google Drive plans folder every morning for newly posted addenda and revised sheets, matches each to the active drywall estimate it affects in The EDGE, and posts a Microsoft Teams list of exactly which takeoffs to re-check. Bids due soonest sit on top, so no drywall proposal goes out priced off stale drawings.
- No drywall bid goes out priced off superseded drawings
- Addenda are tied to the exact takeoff area within minutes of posting
- The whole estimating team works from one shared re-check list
Built for drywall contractors · commercial estimators · wall and ceiling subcontractors · preconstruction teams

Questions, answered
Does it change my takeoff in The EDGE?
No. WebRun only reads your estimates to see which ones an addendum touches, then posts a re-check list to Teams. It never edits a takeoff or a Condition. You decide what to update after reviewing the flagged areas.
How does it know which files are addenda?
It matches on the naming and revision cues your team already uses in the plans folder, such as addendum numbers and revision tags. You confirm the pattern during setup so it flags the right files.
Can it post to a channel instead of messaging people directly?
Yes. The re-check list is an internal digest posted to the estimating channel in Microsoft Teams, so the whole team sees the same list rather than a stream of individual pings.
