Product Description - Benefits

Many contractors are discovering the advantages of working with electronic plans. Electronic plan distribution eliminates the cost and time of traveling to a paper planroom. By using the eTakeoff Plan Viewer, your entire estimating and pre-bid processes can be completed without paper plans. eTakeoff allows you to view the plans with powerful zooming and scrolling capabilities. You can switch between drawings instantaneously, while quickly measuring counts, lengths and quantities. These measurements can be displayed in an infinite variety of colors and patterns to identify the type of construction or the materials used. Measurements from multiple plan sheets can be easily totaled or combined in calculations. The quantities can be quickly transferred to spreadsheets or other estimating applications making your work efficient and accurate.

Your completed takeoff can be shared electronically throughout your organization and/or printed for field use. Electronic takeoff extends the advantages of electronic plans across the entire pre-bid process and even into construction.
