I like how quickly I can run dimensions or basic sq footage without having to spend a significant amount of time meausring in autocad or illustrator plug in, I appreicate how I can plug in the scale and I am good to go. great program and I expect to use it for years as well as recommend to a friend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that I can't start a new measurement without clicking out of the existing, I wish it was as simple as autocad, sketchup or autocad plugin for illustrator Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
E-takeoff's best feature is the ability to export my team's internal takeoff's by division and then send them on to our external team members. This works great for all finishes and even masonry, roofing, glazing, etc. The best part is integrating costs directly into the program as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unless your precise about your movements, it can be a little finicky to use in the beginning. I often found myself accidentally choosing the wrong measurement or using the wrong tool to measure (LF instead of SF). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
E-Takeoff allows our estimating department to do a high volume of quantity take offs which in turn allows us to bid a large volume of material square footage. The average number of bids that our department (3 to 4 people) have completed the last 5 years is 2,400 bids per year. The average square footage of material bid the past 5 years is 4.4 million SF per year. Our company has been using E-Takeoff since 2007 and it has suited our needs very well. The software helps prevent scaling mistakes and the shading (coloring) of areas that have been taken off helps the estimator to not miss areas and to not double count areas. I feel E-Takeoff is fairly easy to learn and all of our new estimators have been able to learn the software within a week to two week time frame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There really isn't much that I dislike about the software. I have been using it for ten years and I am pretty happy with it. The quantity template of area, lengths, counts and custom formulas fit all of the needs that an estimator could want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ETakeoff, has made me so much more efficient in my estimating. ETakeoff has also helped make sure I don't miss anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A little tricky to find the documents you want in the folders since you have to go through several steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
