The takeoff we send you is in Microsoft Excel and will have the item, the quantity, the unit of measure and the location.

CPC (Cartesian Products Compressed Internet Document) JPG, JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group image) The software we use reads the following image files: Along with the takeoff, you will receive a color coded plan which illustrates the areas that were quantified. So if you have an estimator doing his takeoffs with a scale and a legal pad you are wasting time and money. We spend less time doing a takeoff than those builders and contractors that are not computer automated. We use a digitizer for those contractors that only have hard copy plans. One of the programs we use allows us to import digital plans and then do the takeoff on-screen. We have automated the takeoff process using takeoff software and digitizers. We will provide you the solid block count for your block masons, the lineal footages and square footages of concrete to pour by your masons, the total boards to hang by your drywall hanger, and the square feet of tile to lay by your tile mason. We can calculate labor quantities for most construction trades. You do not want the subcontractors billing for more than what they installed. The video shows techniques for: transferring project models to Autodesk Quantity Takeoff choosing key model elements to quantify extracting quantities from 2D views and 3D project models creating formulas for estimating the cost of building elements applying cost data to takeoff items reporting takeoff quantities and exporting to other software.The ability to control your labor costs is just as important as controlling your material costs. This video demonstrates how to create a detailed quantity takeoff using the Autodesk Revit platform and Autodesk Quantity Takeoff software.
