- "eTakeoff has great support. I sent them an email asking them how to download plans from McGraw-Hill Construction into the new eTakeoff Viewer. They quickly sent me back a response with instructions. eTakeoff, you guys are my heros. One button and, 'Bam' there they were. Great job and thanks for the immediate response. 'All Hail eTakeoff Support'."
Ken Pitts
Wilson & Hamilton Painting and Finishing Contractors, Anaheim, California - "Our company purchased eTakeoff because of its ease of use and the power with which it deals with electronic plans. In addition, the add-in that is available for lumber estimating was exactly what we were looking for - a tool by a framer for a framer. This is like a new toy for me! I am having a lot of fun doing what has been drudgery at times in the past!"
Mark des Groseilliers
LeBlanc Building Co, Scottsdale Arizona - "I have been using this product for a little over a month now. I have had such a blast learning this system and putting it to everyday use. It has made my life a lot easier. I don't have to deal with paper at all and that in itself has reduced my take-off time, greatly. Your suggestion that I learn the shortcuts was right on time. Using the shortcuts makes the job so easy that I find myself using the program like a game and of course that makes the time pass quickly. This program is the Bomb!"
Bernie Hamblin
Bernie Hamblin Estimating, Inc., Norristown, Pennsylvania - "I'm quite impressed with how well your Pattern Search works - it's been great at finding symbols buried under other symbols / lines / junk, faster than I can on a full-size drawing with a magnifying glass"
Ken Gordon
Jamerson & Bauwens Electrical Contractors, Inc., Illinois - "I am performing ten times as many takeoffs and proposals as I was before. I am doing $500K or bigger projects in a couple of days instead of weeks."
Anthony S. Jones
BOSSCo, Inc. Lockbourne, Ohio - "I've never seen a software package be combed so thoroughly and OFTEN based on customer input. I look forward to these e-mail update notices because I know my job just became faster/better/easier."
Randall Miller
Due South Concrete, Inc. Canton, Georgia - "Since I started to use eTakeoff, my work life has changed dramatically. Not only do my takeoffs take a fraction of the time, they are much more detailed and are easily tailored to each specific bid. I no longer dread coming to work or spend endless nights at the office tied to a digitizer praying that I have not accidentally missed a measurement; all I have to do is look at my screen for confirmation."
Silvia Rojas
Excellence in Stone, Inc, Miami - "I don't care how good you are with paper takeoffs, this is much better. Our accuracy has increased; I am not going back to paper."
Carl Montegna
Mitch's Green Thumb Landscaping, Denver - "Our Denver office has taken over the estimating for all 6 of our offices nationwide. We are using one less estimator than we were for Denver alone."
Garry Priest
Environmental StoneWorks, Denver - "I am now doing 5 times as many estimates as I was on paper, with increased accuracy."
Dan Rhode
Environmental StoneWorks, Denver - "eTakeoff is the first software I've used that thinks like I do. Also, the interface shows most of what you need to see, the plan. The conversion clarity of drawings is second to none and it's user and computer overhead friendly."
Ron Zucker
ASAP Construction Tech Services, Winter Springs, Florida - "Thanks for the great program; it makes my job a lot easier."
Kevin Bilger
Eastco Interiors, Inc., Denver - "I am now able to take one of my worksheets from eTakeoff and paste it into Excel and have it complete the bid right down to the screws needed for the job. Wow how cool, a job that used to take me and most everyone in the office, to check the formulas and totals in Excel before finalizing the bid, now is a split second operation."
Gerald Shaffer
Mitchell Estimating Services, San Antonio - "Using Extensions when doing takeoff works really well and saves a lot of time and trouble - my partner was really impressed."
Roger O'Connell
Finest Kind, Lakeside, California - "eTakeoff has SUPERIOR customer support! They are friendly, knowledgeable and understand the construction industry."
Gary Brady
Concrete Solutions Plus, Inc., Watkins, Colorado - "The neat thing about eTakeoff is that it can be used not only with plan rooms, but with plans that are emailed to me or on a CD. No other viewers compare to the ease of use and functionality of eTakeoff."
Jeff Allison
Paragon Tile & Stone, Inc., Portland, Oregon - "eTakeoff is an excellent piece of software. It performs takeoff the way it should be done. It's very user-friendly compared to some of the other on-screen takeoff programs I've sampled. Being able to transfer data directly to an Excel spreadsheet is one of the best ideas I've seen. That allows an estimator to design a lumber/EWP/hardware list spreadsheet to his own standards."
Roger D. O'Connell
Finest Kind! Estimating, Lakeside, California - "eTakeoff is my first choice to use as an on-screen takeoff tool. The other products I've tried are cumbersome to use and don't have nearly the number of powerful features and flexibility eTakeoff offers. All of that PLUS excellent customer service!"
Paul Hammell
Elite Mechanical, Bristol, Connecticut - "We at Division Seven Inc love your product. We have used other estimating software in the past that has cost much more but did not perform as well. The tutorials make it easy to learn and the support staff has always been quick to respond. It has made our estimating and even project management more efficient. We recommend eTakeoff to everyone we work with."
Terry L. Lewis
Division Seven, Inc., Indianapolis - "The support I've received from the folks at eTakeoff has been outstanding. Every time I've hit a snag their response has been prompt and the people there all speak English that can be understood. They have been able to answer my questions and clear up the problems every time I've had to contact them. I would highly recommend, without reservation, the eTakeoff software to anyone considering the purchase of an on-screen takeoff program."
