What is automated takeoff software?
A quantity takeoff is the count and measurement of every material on a set of drawings: fixtures, linear feet, square footage, and more. Done by hand, it means a scale ruler, highlighters, and a lot of hours per bid. Automated takeoff software reads the drawings for you and pulls those quantities out, so estimators spend their time checking numbers and pricing the job instead of counting.
