Overall Satisfaction with eTakeoff

eTakeoff is used in our organization which is a construction company by the department of project , as a high end construction contractor we receive set of pdf drawing and we are using eTakeoff with the eBridge functionality to bring the measures to Sage estimating , the main problems we have with the app is issues with licensing and server-client license because we are working through a server to store all the company data. Also we have offices in various countries.
  • Organize measures of a project.
  • Create formula to measure various items including pitch and board sizes.
  • It can connect to estimating software like Sage.
  • 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.
  • It simplifies the process of making measures of a project.
  • As a centralized measure station it helps to keep track of all the data.
  • The one negative to be noted is the technical support.
eTakeoff is a software with only one basic function which is project measures and this is a prominent differentiator. Taking measures in Revit it requires a lot of more steps, so eTakeoff is a single task software, that performs it's single task really well.
Etakeoff is a software dedicated to project measuring and notes over pdf drawings, it is a software dedicated to the measurement side of an architectural project , so it have several options to enhance the measuring process , you can create custom formulas and use bid codes to identify each measure , and it is not suitable for any creation or drawing of a project.
