eTakeoff
What it is
eTakeoff Dimension is Windows software for PDF takeoff and electronic quantity takeoff in construction estimating. Estimators can use its digital measurement tools to record quantities from drawings, with assembly capabilities and Microsoft Excel integration for estimating work. Measurements are stored in Dimension’s database as takeoff progresses, and the company says the database grows with the user. Dimension supports multi-user access over a network or hosted in the cloud, with record locking for concurrent work on a project or drawing. Named estimating integrations are Sage Estimating, Trimble WinEst, and Gordian 4Clicks. For communications and security estimating, Pattern Search finds matching drawing symbols and converts selected results into count measurements. The company describes SnapAI and Togal.AI as its two AI takeoff technologies. The install page also lists eTakeoff Bridge, eTakeoff Navisworks Integrator, and eTakeoff Server. A free Basic viewer and a 15-day trial are available. Advanced costs $795 a year per user, and Premier costs $1495 a year per user. Togal.ai is a $1800 a year per-user add-on to Advanced or Premier. The software is Windows only and is not available for Mac OS.
