Estimating is a critical step in any job, and the more accurate and timely an estimator can be, the better. SureCount symbol recognition software gives estimators the means to eliminate the time-consuming task of counting and measuring from paper drawings by providing the tools to view electronic plans onscreen, quickly count and highlight symbols, measure distances between points, and generate takeoff reports organized by system and drawing, significantly increasing takeoff speed and accuracy. With SureCount estimators can also assign material, labor and unit costs to each symbol and measurement, ready for takeoff, and use that data in a job cost report.  You can also add your own text and symbols to drawings with takeoff notes.

SureCount’s functionality includes an auto-count feature that gives estimators the option to automatically locate and count repetitive items in a selected area for takeoff.  SureCount’s auto-count feature can highlight and count selected symbols at an average speed of more than 700 fixtures in less than 9 seconds, which could take the average estimator 15-20 minutes to count manually. Extrapolate the time savings on this one fixture count to an entire job and a measurable ROI is quickly realized! When a blueprint is revised SureCount’s Overlay feature will automatically highlight any changes, additions or deletions (fixtures, walls, text, etc.) from the original drawing.

As the first onscreen digital takeoff software introduced to the electrical contracting industry SureCount is the recognized leader in the electrical industry, but it is so versatile that it can be used for almost any trade, including plumbing and construction, architectural and even fire and sprinkler system enterprises. SureCount’s intuitive design ensures minimal deployment and training time.
