WinEx-GRADE from Roctek is an on-premise site development takeoff solution designed to give users the ability to import, edit and create site drawings. The solution allows users to import images from Vector PDF, DWG and DXF CAD files or other image supported formats such as JPG, TIF and BMP.

With WinEx-GRADE navigation tools, designers can develop digital drawings with high accuracy and precision. Roctek's proprietary LineTracker technology along with Dynamic Zoombox provides precision upto the pixel level. Once a raw drawing is uploaded, the solution automatically calculates an estimate time required for completing the job.

With WinEx-GRADE, users can create 3D renditions of actual site properties. Designers can also use alternate drawing plan option to create multiple page drawings of one takeoff. The application automatically takes care of the subgrade quantities like flat pads, parking space, interior streets etc.

Other features include lone and connected spot routines, trench routines, 3D cut and fill and elevation maps.

Supported Operating System(s):
Windows 7 , Windows Vista , Windows XP , Windows 2000 , Windows 8 , Windows 10

    Solid program, would endorse.

    Pros

    The overlying best part about using WinEx is that I was immediately a pro. Very easy program to navigate

    Cons

    Not super easy to get a hold of customer support but I only needed to ask a question once throughout the first week of using this program.

    Pros

    As a field guy coming into the estimating world and having minimal computer knowledge this was the easiest program to learn and become efficient with as we tried a few of the other top systems. Technical support is outstanding.

    Cons

    I really have no negative comments to offer. I guess the only thing I could say is the fact of needing a 'key' to run the program can be a pain as far as using it at the office and home and a second key is a little pricey for the added convenience.

    I have worked excavating for 20 years as an equipment operator, foreman ,and site super . When i started my company I soon realized estimating was one of the hardest for me. I tried most takeoff programs and found this to be most user friendly and i could do double the takeoffs utilizing Roctek winex grade.

    Pros

    Being new to estimating this program is easy to use and customer service is top notch ! Great features fpr the price point.

    Cons

    Havent found anything negative yet I feel its a good all around program that i feel cpuld grow with my company .

    The fact that we are unable to use it for Site Services and Trenching or placing the foundations is a big factor

    Customer support is tops! I like the program and I wanted to be successful at using it, but we went back to Agtek.

    Pros

    Many nice features and simplistic approach. Customer support was awesome-- yet that is kind of the problem-- I spent too much time with them because the program logic was difficult to follow.

    Cons

    Snap function is horrible. Input of data lines and contours is confusing. Importing drawings is cumbersome. Inability to input annotated lines. Cut-Fill graphics are primitive. Output file summary is displayed with odd logic and on too many sheets. Training videos outdated.

    The application specialists were very helpful and patient when we contacted them for help. Having more specialists available would speed up your clients learning curve.

    Pros

    This program offers a lot for the purchase price. This now gives us confidence in our takeoff quantities,

    Cons

    We would like to see more training videos available that we can use when we encounter questions. Having the videos means we would not have to call in for support as often.

    Roctek via WinEx Master is software equipped to satisfy ALL needs. This is a powerful tool replete with superior reporting, digitizing, and visualization tools. Has many features, so it will not be something you can learn overnight, but the customer service is so outstanding that they will stay with you all night if you needed to learn it fast! Keep up the great work, Roctek Team! Looking forward to seeing how you can possibly top off this software with your new release. The company never ceases to amaze me!

    Pros

    Business reports are needed to make executive decisions. The reports generated here are for champion decision makers! Too much good info! Add an exceptional takeoff team, and you'll be winning projects in no time!

    Cons

    Lots of good features. Not as intuitive, so requires expert support to fully maximize the product's utility.

    WinEx Grade is user friendly. I like the on-screen takeoff and being able to download plans to the program without having a hard copy set of plans. The saves time which is very valuable for me and the program is very accurate. The team at Roctek has been great with their support, friendly to work with, and always eager to help. I have estimated for 31 years and have tried several different takeoff systems. For the money, WinEx grade is the best.

    Pros

    The onscreen takeoff. The ability to use vector files. You get a lot for your money with this program.

    Cons

    This product is great, I've used it to takeoff a hand full of projects already (one massive project) and haven't been using it too long. Without any formal training, I feel confident doing earthwork takeoff and that I will learn the other features of this program. When I ran into problems their tech support resolved my issue and talked me through everything, making sure I understood what was going on and not just fixing it for me and sending me on my way.

    Pros

    User friendly interface
    Program functions make sense and are easy to learn, very straight forward
    Line tracker is great for when importing certain line work isn't possible
    Tech support is great, they even called to check up on me a few days after I called for support while doing takeoff on a large project to make sure everything was going smoothly
    No pressure sales pitch, they let the product do the selling. They even gave me an extension to use the trial software to finish a takeoff

    Cons

    Have not found any yet.

    This project is a very user friendly software with all the bells and whistle's. The technical support hotline is perfect when you can get my rep at they can walk you trough it LIVE helps tremendously when you in the heat of the takeoff and time is money.

    Pros

    Technical support to help through new task's. Ease of use with awesome features and reports. Almost every feature we can image to generate reports for a project either at the design stage or to the build stage.

    Cons

    I don't have the opportunity to use enough and I get a little rusty.

    Pros

    I primarily have always been involved with clearing and mass earthwork; started out developing cross-sections and doing all calcs' by hand; early 90's introduced and started using Paydirt and thought it was great until I was introduced to Roctek.

    Been using Roctek for almost year; time of establishing quantities for clearing, earthwork, stormwater, utilites, paving(s) in cut in half. Using Roctek; due to the ease and speed on on screen; provides a tremendous savings on overhead to establish quantities; one is able to have more time to analyze the project prior to bid with the tools of the program.

    Cons

    Do not have any issues with anything about the program
