Estimating & Takeoff Software Programs
Construction estimating and takeoff software helps contractors measure plans, calculate costs and develop accurate bids. Takeoff software allows an estimator to measure areas and lengths to determine material quantities or volumes. This is accomplished using a digitizer board and pen (for paper plan takeoff), or can be performed "onscreen" by tracing an electronic plan file (e.g. PDF format ro CAD files). A cost estimating system is used to apply up-to-date material and labor pricing to the takeoff data. The resulting estimate can be professionally formated using proposal management functionality.
Different divisions or trades will have unique requirements for their estimating and takeoff systems. General contractors will require bid management software to solicit and compare bids from different subcontractors or materials providers. Meanwhile, MEP subcontractors will have specific demands of their electrical estimating software or mechanical & HVAC estimating software. Earthwork/excavating estimating and takeoff software allows excavation and sitework contractors to generate accurate cut and fill estimates. Finally, we've found that residential contractors are typically seeking easy-to-use, affordable estimating software for remodelers.
