Construction Takeoff. Estimators looking at models and generating construction takeoffs.

Quantification & Takeoff

Produce accurate estimates with integrated 2D and 3D construction takeoff software.

Combine sheet-based and model-based quantity construction takeoffs and empower estimators to provide accurate and clear scopes of work so teams can improve how they schedule and secure the costs for materials and labor.

Speed up accurate 2D takeoff.

Paper plans and manual takeoffs are things of the past. Cloud-based 2D quantification simplifies file sharing, as well as linear, count, and area takeoffs.

 

Save time and increase accuracy by drawing construction takeoffs once and then generating multiple quantities or using custom formulas to generate the volume, waste factor, and much more.

model based takeoff on a BIM model

Improve quantification with BIM-based quantity takeoffs.

Not every project requires BIM-based technology, but every estimate demands accuracy. Empower estimators to navigate and understand project complexities without needing deep knowledge of design tools.

 

With Autodesk Takeoff, extracting quantities from 3D models makes it easy to visualize models and understand their scope and design intent for all types of construction projects.

Aggregated 2D and 3D construction takeoff quantities

Integrate 2D and 3D quantities.

Combine modeled and non-modeled quantities for a richer experience when teams want to track, understand, and interact with construction project quantities.

 

With a unified takeoff workflow, the output becomes a comprehensive quantity inventory that provides an audit trail, so teams can quickly understand where the summary quantities came from.

Document Management in the cloud for construction takeoff

Types of construction takeoffs

Dimensional takeoff

A dimensional takeoff is used to identify the physical dimensions of construction materials required for a job. Additionally, a 2D or 3D takeoff can be used to ensure that the project's design is correctly executed with the proper materials.

Material Takeoff

A material takeoff is used to calculate the amount of any construction material needed for a project. This could include items such as electrical wiring, plumbing fixtures, paint, and other building materials.

Labor takeoff

A labor takeoff is used to determine the type and amount of labor needed for a construction project. This could include electricians, plumbers, drywall hangers and other skilled trades.

Cost estimating

A professional estimator is usually employed to complete the takeoffs, considering the current market prices for materials and labor. Takeoffs can be done using both 2D and 3D technology, making them an invaluable tool for accurate estimation.
