Description

PriMus TAKEOFF offers an innovative solution for generating automatic construction estimates and Bills of Quantities (BoQs) from various formats such as DWG, DXF, PDF, JPG, and BMP. This quantity takeoff software enables users to swiftly and accurately derive cost estimates by extracting measurement information directly from their project files. The term "Quantity Take-Off" encompasses all the essential tasks that a quantity surveyor engages in to pull relevant metric data from a drawing, facilitating the preparation of a cost estimate based on the graphical representation of a project. It is a widely recognized international term that typically refers to software capable of obtaining measurements from drawings saved in numerous electronic formats, including DWG and DXF, or from raster images that have been vectorized. One of the standout features of PriMus TAKEOFF is its ability to integrate drawing information with corresponding cost estimate data within the DWG file, creating a seamless link between these two types of documents, a functionality that many other software solutions lack. This capability not only streamlines the workflow for quantity surveyors but also enhances accuracy and efficiency in the estimation process.
