Easily download digital plan files from an online plan room, scan in your plans, or upload them from a CD-ROM or local files in many common types including PDF, TIF, GIF, JPG, BMP, and CAD formats.
Once your digital plans are imported, just use your computer mouse or touch screen monitor pen to select the appropriate item for takeoff and measure length, areas, volumes or count items.
For further time savings, this versatile program lets you flip, rotate, and copy structures, which saves you from having to retrace identical takeoffs. It also lets you customize your cost item libraries or import your descriptions for an excel spread sheet.
And when there are plan revisions, the solution lets you instantly compare your new plans to the older ones. This capability allows you to capitalize on every variation to capture additional gains in profit margin.
In addition, the Shape Recognition feature in ProContractorMX allows estimators to further automate quantity counts using Digital Takeoff. This technology searches a set of plans and annotates like symbols and shapes for fast and accurate quantity counting. The Shape Recognition tool helps estimators eliminate time otherwise spent doing quantity counts by eye and marking by hand. The benefit is improved accuracy and time savings, not only when taking off original plans, but also when plans change.
