Cory Streiff, Chief Operating Officer of Texas-based business, Precision Pavers, shares how Moasure allows him to tackle complex, curved landscapes with ease. Using Moasure, Cory has cut site visits from hours to minutes, whilst strengthening client trust from the first measurement.
Results at a Glance
Since adopting Moasure in 2024, Cory has:
- Cut measuring time by over 80% – sometimes to under 2 minutes.
- Improved estimates by removing extra 15% material buffer.
- Realized their Moasure investment on the first job.
Designing Detailed Outdoor Space
At Precision Pavers, Cory specializes in various outdoor living projects, involving both the design and build:
“We come in, take a yard from an older, outdated or deteriorating shape, and completely revitalize it to make a new, more liveable, more functional design.”
With a focus on transforming and refreshing outdoor spaces, understanding the existing plot terrain is an absolute must for Cory and his team. His projects often combine several different aspects of an outdoor space together, with one cohesive vision in mind.
A typical project for Precision Pavers could involve the refurbishment of a pool, pool deck, turf, patio area, decorative gravel, landscaping, and much more. Understanding how these spaces work in harmony with one another is essential for Cory, always thinking about the overall design.
The Challenge
Inaccurate Curves, Site Revisits, Time Lost
Like many other contractors who work across outdoor projects, Cory had an array of measuring tools at his disposal. Each one provided him with a different method to achieve the same measurement result, but nothing provided a comprehensive set of data, even combined:
“We were using hand tools – tape measures, string lines, zip levels, and other products to try to get the same result. It took multiple tools to achieve one outcome.”
Not only was this an inefficient way to calculate just one measurement he needed, like distance or height, it was time-consuming, and involved guesswork on every job. This became particularly clear when measuring irregular and complex spaces, like curves and arcs:
“You’d map it out with tape, draw it on paper, and then do math to get it close to accurate. But that was the issue – accuracy.”
Running the risk of overcharging customers, and having to build in a safety buffer, Cory needed one measuring tool that was far more versatile than anything he had currently, and was going to help him measure faster, and more accurately:
“I first heard about Moasure about a year ago through social media. I saw ads and saw what people were doing. It looked like it solved a lot of problems I’d had with more challenging areas to measure – whether elevations or curvature. It looked like a really cool idea, so we jumped in and purchased our first one.”
The Solution
A Versatile Tool that Handles Various Calculations
Cory and his team were excited to get started with Moasure, seeing the tool as a game-changer for their projects. Naturally, there were some initial doubts as to whether Moasure would truly perform how they needed it to:
“There was some skepticism – the old ‘too good to be true’ thing. But as a contractor, after dealing with tape measures and string lines for so long, I found Moasure really does get you the result you want, and fast.”
With the help of Moasure’s training and video tutorials, the team at Precision Pavers were able to learn the ideal technique of Moasure quickly, despite there being a period of unfamiliarity:
“There’s a little learning curve, but it’s pretty easy to pick up and get going. We also did some training with Moasure and found we were already doing it right based on their tutorials. We were impressed that it’s as easy as advertised.”
With that, there were a number of Moasure’s features and functionalities that were attractive to Cory from the outset, including automatic calculations when you measure and map a job site:
“[Moasure] was going to be a game changer – especially with the time frame of measuring an area. Having accurate perimeters, square footages, and elevations is huge…being able to follow your steps and see it mapped in real time is very cool – for me and the client. It builds trust.”
Reliable Measurements for Accurate Estimates
When he first started using Moasure, Cory would measure his job sites twice to feel confident in the data he was given. It didn’t take long for him to soon trust the numbers:
“I’ve been incredibly impressed. Even the first few times using it, I would measure twice – and the results were dead on. I’ve stopped re-measuring now. I’ve shown clients that, too – measured and measured again, and the results are the same.”
This kind of transparency has become a powerful tool for Cory – not only does it reassure him that his measurements are accurate, but it also helps build trust with his clients.
By showing consistent results right in front of them, he's able to demonstrate the reliability behind his estimates, and eliminate any doubts from the outset.
Faster Exporting and Streamlined Design Work
A key benefit of Moasure for Precision Pavers was the ability to export 2D and 3D diagrams, straight from the Moasure app. Now an essential step in Cory’s projects, he uses the export feature to align with customers, showing them their Moasure-measured site:
“We send files to clients to show them their 2D area, and I also drop it into my design software. I’ll start with the Moasure design and build from there to create a 3D rendering…I upload a PDF into my software, lay it on a 2D grid, and draw off it. The clarity is unbelievable.”
Rather than relying on manual drawings to replicate their space, Moasure takes the load off Cory by measuring and drawing simultaneously, straight in the app. When it comes to his design work, seeing how the land lies in 3D gives Cory even greater detail than what he could see from just eyeballing it:
“As a designer, you can visualize a point – but large areas are hard to grasp until you see them mapped. I can export what I measured into my 3D software right there on-site, draw it out for the client, and expand the design before going back to the office.”
The Result
Strengthened Trust, More Completed Bids, Optimized Time
Since Precision Pavers adopted Moasure in 2024, the difference in their measuring efficiency has been night and day. For Cory, the time savings have almost unbelievable:
“I can do [some measurements] in two minutes or less. Everything is by scale – the bigger the property, the longer you're walking – but it’s ten times faster than anything I’ve done by hand.”
Tracking and mapping his sites – as he walks them – Moasure gives Cory the clarity, professionalism, and speed he needed to level up his workflow. Moasure eliminates the guesswork, manual sketching, and calculations for Cory’s team on every single job – and the result is unlike anything he expected:
“I get to do more jobs, spend more time with more clients…Time is money. The time I can spend on-site to track and estimate with Moasure can close a deal in 10 minutes – compared to mapping it out, measuring, writing it all up. I can’t even compare the time difference.”
Showing a client their site in a matter of minutes not only boosts his professional image, but offers Cory’s customers peace of mind that they’re investing in experts, who have the right tools for the job. Moasure’s visualized diagrams are an important way to start building trust between Cory and his client:
“Clients are very impressed and interested. I’ve had some even ask if they can buy a Moasure themselves for DIY projects. I like to flip my phone around and show them the 2D map. Sometimes I even throw out the tape measure and show them how accurate it is. That really impresses them and builds trust.”
For the team at Precision Pavers, Moasure isn’t just a time-saving tool, but it’s become a core component of their design and build process.
From initial consultation, through to planning and client collaboration, Moasure helps deliver both accuracy and professionalism at every stage of Cory’s outdoor projects. By embracing smart technology, Cory positions himself as an innovative business owner to elevate the customer experience.
