Description

Carlson Takeoff is a program designed for calculating cut and fill volumes and preparing data for layout or machine control, capable of estimating projects by digitizing paper plans, utilizing PDFs, or working with electronic CAD files. It is offered in two versions: Takeoff OEM and Takeoff Suite. The Takeoff OEM version includes a built-in AutoCAD® engine and has all the features of the Takeoff Suite, which requires a separately purchased AutoCAD® or comes with built-in IntelliCAD®. The Takeoff Suite consists of various modules such as Carlson CADnet, Carlson Trench, and Carlson GeoTech, along with Carlson Construction, all of which are seamlessly integrated with Carlson Civil and Hydrology to cater to diverse customer requirements. Uniquely, Carlson Takeoff stands out as the sole estimating software that operates on either the AutoCAD or IntelliCAD engine. By functioning natively within the DWG environment, Carlson Takeoff provides users with a significant "CAD Advantage" when estimating based on electronic files from engineers, enhancing both accuracy and efficiency in the estimation process. This integration simplifies workflows and improves collaboration among stakeholders involved in construction projects.

Description

ConstructConnect Takeoff is a web-based application designed for construction estimators and contractors to effectively quantify work using digital plans. The platform allows users to upload sets of plans, categorize and label sheets, establish drawing scales, and perform measurements for lengths, areas, and counts. Utilizing AI technology, Auto Takeoff streamlines the process by automatically recognizing plan pages, calibrating scales, and generating measurements that users can review and modify as needed. This application facilitates plan-based quantity takeoff, catering to various construction projects and trade estimating processes, and offers both Starter and Professional plans suitable for individuals and teams alike. Additionally, users have the ability to export their takeoff data in formats that are compatible with popular estimating software like PlanSwift and On-Screen Takeoff, enhancing their downstream estimating capabilities. Notably, Auto Takeoff is a feature included with the Professional subscription plan, providing users with advanced tools to improve efficiency in their estimating workflows.
