Precise material and cost estimates are possible with Buildertrend Takeoff. Learn how digital measuring will reduce errors while saving you time and money.
Buildertrend Takeoff is changing the way contractors kick off their residential construction projects.
Job planning and management can now be done in one cohesive platform. Users can upload digital blueprints, record measurements and create accurate estimates faster than ever. With our combined takeoff and estimating solutions, builders have everything they need to start each project with confidence.
Takeoff software is a digital estimating solution that allows construction professionals to more efficiently calculate material needs and costs. Projects can be started quickly by simply uploading digital blueprints and completing measurements with the provided digital tools.
The manual process of measuring for construction materials is tedious and time consuming. Plus, with the added element of human error, manual measurements aren’t always as precise as they need to be. Using takeoff software allows builders to calculate material quantities accurately.
Planning construction jobs comes with many moving parts and pieces. Keeping everything streamlined in one place with Buildertrend’s takeoff and project management solutions will guarantee every job stays on track from start to finish.
Here’s why you should be using construction takeoff software.
Buildertrend Takeoff helps construction companies perform project takeoffs with more efficiency and accuracy. Contractors can quickly measure from digital blueprints, automatically create material lists and sync with the cost codes in their Buildertrend account.
Measuring a room manually takes a whole lot of time – time that builders could be spending on other tasks. Using Buildertrend Takeoff for project planning and estimating is 33% faster than manual measuring, according to internal data. With that valuable time added back to your day, you can spend it planning your business’ future, focusing on your people or taking that vacation.
Construction takeoff software will add valuable time back to your day, and it can also save you money. Have you ever noticed how much you’re really spending on printing those large-scale blueprints? And are you ordering more building materials than you need? Using digital blueprints for all your jobs could save you hundreds if not thousands. Plus, with precise digital measuring, you can feel good knowing your material estimates are solid, and you’re only purchasing the product you need.
Takeoff information can now be easily communicated to everyone on your team. Material measurements and costs are automatically sent from the takeoff to their Buildertrend account – keeping everyone on the same page.
With automatic updates and everything saved in one platform, teams have a single source of truth to work from. This means fewer change orders and less rework – leading to a more efficient job site.
