Boost efficiency with these important estimating functions. The most important factor that will increase estimating efficiency is improving the speed and accuracy of your takeoff. Now with the ability to import PDF and other drawing formats On-Screen takeoff will display digital drawings and provide the ability to perform takeoff on a computer screen. Start your takeoff On-Screen and save the digital footprint for changes, addendums and additions. Many advanced point and click functions as "Auto Routing" piping and ductwork runs during takeoff greatly improve over takeoff speed as compared to hand takeoff. As importantly a takeoff trail is generated from the takeoff. Takeoff accuracy is greatly improved as an audit trail provides the ability to double check all items that have been entered during takeoff with reports that are automatically generated. A digital takeoff trail provides Digital Drawing Overlay to display additions and addendums to an original takeoff. Items are highlighted showing changes in takeoff scope. Detailed material lists are created with the digital takeoff showing accurate material lists that have been generated during takeoff. A bid summary is also generated with the digital takeoff showing labor, materials and a detailed summary based on project specifications. The Digital Takeoff is based on a variety of national industry standards and customized standards. Six important fuctions:
1. On-Screen Takeoff Speed and digital drawing import
2. Comprehensive Data base of standard industry assemblies
3. Digital drawing overlay to compare job changes and addendums
4. Comprehensive and detailed material lists
5.Detailed bid summary developed during takeoff
6. Industry standard, customized standards or national industry standards for project takeoff
