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.
