Description
Materials 4D is an innovative graphical on-screen takeoff system designed specifically for contractors, seamlessly merging easy data entry with versatile reporting to enhance the speed at which you can estimate construction materials. It allows you to import planning data from Sitework 4D or manually input information from TIF, PDF, or CAD files, enabling the system to calculate areas, lengths, and quantities, which are then converted into measurements such as yards of concrete, tons of asphalt, lengths of guard rail, and counts for lighting fixtures and other cost-related items. Furthermore, Materials 4D provides detailed reports and the ability to export spreadsheet data categorized by structure, material, and construction phase, while also creating thorough geo-referenced graphical reports that can be shared via email in PDF format, visualized on Google Earth, or accessed on-site through your iPhone or Android device. With personalized, expert training from AGTEK, you can master the functionalities of Materials 4D in just a few hours, ensuring that you leverage its full potential in your projects. This training aims to equip you with practical skills that directly enhance your efficiency and accuracy in estimating.
