eTakeoff vs. TakeCost

When quoting projects are required where there is not much time and more precision is required. In these circumstances eTakeoff is spectacular. And it allows to integrate with BIN systems to have a better performance. The important thing is also that it does not limit you when making the necessary estimates.

Incentivized

• Client Server Solutions that allows to work simultaneously on the several footprints projects
• Integration with Construction Management Software's like Sage 300 CRE - Estimating
• Compatible with mobile devices like Microsoft Surface
• Savings upon the printing process to start the measurement phase
• Simplifies the amount of materials with only a pack of PDF footprints, granting the calculation of the material lists

Incentivized

• Measurement summary list could have more intuitive ways to organize measures.
• The server-client and project sharing needs to be easier.
• The reference of a measure from other drawings is a process that need to be simplified.

Incentivized

eTakeoff is much more dynamic, more up-to-date, it has more functionalities and integrations that allow us to be more focused on project development. I would recommend promoting the platform more and creating a community of users to share their experiences and grow with the use of eTakeoff. I could also recommend a section where the user can be guided in real time.

Incentivized

• I strongly recommend to declare a design and scaling plan before making the purchase the eTakeoff Basic license has several limitations that will drive you to make a forced upgrade before even kicking out the app for the estimators
• Affordable at a regular cost considering that Autodesk Solutions like Revit will be a much higher fee per services.
• The ROI can be achieved after the first 6 months of the initial set up of traces, custom settings and list of items to be used on the construction project.
