Description

Increase your chances of securing projects by utilizing competitive bids that stem from precise estimates generated through integrated takeoffs and quantities. Foster collaboration between estimators and construction teams with a cloud-based data management system that guarantees everyone operates from one consistent source of truth. Save valuable time in crafting competitive bids by conducting more precise 2D takeoffs and automating quantity generation from 3D models. Ensure comprehensive project scope by capturing the most intricate quantities, thereby reducing the risk of rework. Enhance understanding of design intent and constructibility challenges by visualizing project scope in 3D. Utilize a unified inventory of both 2D and 3D quantities throughout the construction phases. Estimating teams benefit from streamlined access to pertinent construction documents, drawings, and 3D models, leading to enhanced collaboration. Effortlessly capture project scope using linear, count, and area takeoff methods, while also being able to generate various quantities and apply custom formulas as needed. With these tools at your disposal, achieving accuracy and efficiency in your estimating process becomes significantly more attainable.

Description

Carlson Takeoff is a program designed for calculating cut and fill volumes and preparing data for layout or machine control, capable of estimating projects by digitizing paper plans, utilizing PDFs, or working with electronic CAD files. It is offered in two versions: Takeoff OEM and Takeoff Suite. The Takeoff OEM version includes a built-in AutoCAD® engine and has all the features of the Takeoff Suite, which requires a separately purchased AutoCAD® or comes with built-in IntelliCAD®. The Takeoff Suite consists of various modules such as Carlson CADnet, Carlson Trench, and Carlson GeoTech, along with Carlson Construction, all of which are seamlessly integrated with Carlson Civil and Hydrology to cater to diverse customer requirements. Uniquely, Carlson Takeoff stands out as the sole estimating software that operates on either the AutoCAD or IntelliCAD engine. By functioning natively within the DWG environment, Carlson Takeoff provides users with a significant "CAD Advantage" when estimating based on electronic files from engineers, enhancing both accuracy and efficiency in the estimation process. This integration simplifies workflows and improves collaboration among stakeholders involved in construction projects.
