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.
Description
Sharp Pencil offers a commercial roofing takeoff service enhanced by AI for contractors and estimators. Clients can submit their plan sets and specifications, which the service then evaluates to generate precise measurements for various low-slope roofing systems such as TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs, as well as components like insulation, tapered assemblies, parapets, edge metal, drains, curbs, and penetrations. Each takeoff is meticulously reviewed by a roofing expert before being delivered in a workbook format that not only references the original drawings but also includes a register for open questions (RFI). Typically, customers receive their completed takeoff within 48 hours. In addition to the takeoff, deliverables may encompass a materials order list and a proposal tailored for clients if they provide their pricing information. This service caters to a variety of commercial projects, including new constructions, reroofing, repairs, and mixed-system roofs, while residential projects are not included. The initial takeoff for a live bid is complimentary, with additional takeoffs available on a per-drawing basis or through subscription plans. Furthermore, this efficiency allows contractors to streamline their bidding process, enhancing their competitiveness in the market.
