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.
