Description
Sharp Pencil offers a commercial roofing takeoff service enhanced by AI for contractors and estimators. Clients can submit their plan sets and specifications, which the service then evaluates to generate precise measurements for various low-slope roofing systems such as TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs, as well as components like insulation, tapered assemblies, parapets, edge metal, drains, curbs, and penetrations. Each takeoff is meticulously reviewed by a roofing expert before being delivered in a workbook format that not only references the original drawings but also includes a register for open questions (RFI). Typically, customers receive their completed takeoff within 48 hours. In addition to the takeoff, deliverables may encompass a materials order list and a proposal tailored for clients if they provide their pricing information. This service caters to a variety of commercial projects, including new constructions, reroofing, repairs, and mixed-system roofs, while residential projects are not included. The initial takeoff for a live bid is complimentary, with additional takeoffs available on a per-drawing basis or through subscription plans. Furthermore, this efficiency allows contractors to streamline their bidding process, enhancing their competitiveness in the market.
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.
