Once the plans are digitized, the software enables users to perform a takeoff, measuring distances, areas, volumes, and other relevant dimensions directly on your digital plans. You can mark, highlight, and annotate different parts of the plans to identify elements for estimation.Construction Estimating
In addition to measurements, the software also facilitates estimating labor costs. You can input labor, waste, overhead, and other parameters to calculate the labor hours required for various tasks.Who Can Use Material Takeoff & Construction Cost Estimating Software?
