Quantities are derived from multiple CAD files and estimation data is maintained in separate spreadsheets
High possibility of re-entry mistakes
Time-consuming process
Manual inputs are required to get the desired reports
Not possible to track the work status
Need to store the data locally to view the past project data
Manual revisions in takeoffs and estimations are needed when drawings are revised
The method of estimation varies from person to person or from organization to organization
Not possible to collaborate and track changes made by other team members
Maintaining a relevant database and debugging Excel for multiple users can be a challenge
Takeoff using AutoCAD
Requires a lot of storage space to save all the data and drawings
Difficult to work based on historical data of previous projects
Requires complex logic behind the formulas which can be hard to understand for new joiners
Larger is the spreadsheet, it is more likely that it would contain errors or broken formulas
High reliability on the numbers copy-pasted from documents could lead to major mishaps with no chance to pull back on cost overruns
You have to dig deep in the project's dynamics to identify the trends that were likely to cause cost overruns
It becomes difficult to manage cost control since the data is stored in multiple sheets
Drawings are uploaded to the tool. Quantities and estimations can be managed right within the tool
Drawings and quantities remain there and there within the tool reducing the scope of re-entry errors
Saves time by at least 30%
Multiple reports can be generated at the push of a button
Real-time work status tracking
Easy access to all files for past projects, from wherever you are
The overlay tool empowers to identify the revisions and edit the quantity easily
Work within set boundaries and adhere to the methodologies set by the organization
Keep everyone aligned by always working on the same set of drawings. Spread the workload by sharing plans or inviting others to collaborate
Cloud-based tool - Anyone can access it at any time and the database is also secured
Digital takeoffs
Cloud-based storage of data and drawings
Easy access to the historical data. Use templates or cost thumb rules to set budget and specs for the upcoming projects
Establishes a standard methodology due to which, the process becomes system-specific and not person-specific
No chance for errors or logical flaws in estimations
Alerts you about potential overruns before they occur by simple colour codes and easy to analyze reports
You can easily drill down the quantities or costs to their source of origin
Provides cost estimation in a structured manner and closes the loop between cost estimation and cost control by allowing reverse engineering
