Description
Excalibur View is a construction-focused drawing viewer, markup, and takeoff software developed by a structural steel estimator actively working in the field.
The markups created are standard PDF annotations, ensuring that any set annotated within the program can be opened seamlessly in applications like Bluebeam Revu or Adobe, retaining all formatting and positions. It also supports the import of Revu .bpx profiles and .btx tool sets, complete with their associated tools, custom columns, and unit weights.
This software empowers users to measure length, area, count, volume, and angles at the specified scale, with each tool incorporating its own unit weights, allowing for tonnage calculations on the takeoff while drawing beams. The Shop List feature efficiently converts marked-up items into a cut list, detailing stock lengths, saw kerfs, and leftover drops.
Excalibur View is available for free to individual users, including for commercial purposes, and requires no account or expiration date. For offices, Excalibur View Office is offered at a one-time fee of $250 per seat on owned machines, with optional updates at $100 per seat annually.
Notably, the software operates entirely offline; drawings, markups, and takeoffs remain securely stored on your hardware without any cloud integration. Furthermore, the software's source code is available under the Elastic License 2.0, allowing for further customization and use.
Description
Take-Off, developed by WEQS, is a Windows desktop application specifically designed for quantity surveyors and construction estimators to facilitate the measurement of building plans. This software is compatible with various file formats, including PDF, DWG, DXF, and DWFx, as well as images of drawings and scans. Once a scale is established, users have the ability to measure areas, lengths, counts, and angles by either tracing or selecting pre-existing linework from compatible vector drawings. Measurements can be organized, color-coded, and assigned unique reference numbers, with options to mark them as checked or flagged for review. The take-off list effectively links each quantity back to its corresponding location on the drawing, while also providing total counts by category. Projects are conveniently stored with drawings and measurements integrated into a single file. Users can easily export quantities to Excel or CSV formats, copy data into spreadsheets, and print annotated drawings as PDFs. The software is designed to install and operate locally on Windows 10 or 11 systems and functions without needing an internet connection, ensuring that all drawings and quantities remain securely on the user's device. Additionally, it streamlines both quantity take-off and drawing review processes essential for construction project management. Overall, Take-Off enhances productivity and accuracy for professionals working in the construction estimating field.
