General Contractor Takeoff and Estimating Software

General Contractors need to quantify all aspects of a project, from site work, to roofing and everything in between. A general contractor also needs the flexibility to do a quick SqFt takeoff or a detailed item-by-item takeoff and estimating depending on the project. Accuracy is a key part of creating a final budget and speed is critical in an increasingly competitive market place. eTakeoff is the perfect estimating and takeoff tool to aid the General Contractor with all aspects of their estimate.

eTakeoff’s general contractor estimating software allows you to view the plans with powerful zooming and scrolling capabilities. You can switch between drawings instantaneously, while quickly measuring counts, lengths and quantities. These measurements can be displayed in an infinite variety of colors and patterns to identify the type of construction or the materials used. Measurements from multiple plan sheets can be easily totaled or combined in calculations. The quantities can be quickly transferred to spreadsheets or other general contractor estimating software applications, making your work efficient and accurate. With powerful auditing tools you can be sure that there are no missing items or miscalculations resulting in a detailed, accurate and efficient estimate.

What our customers have to say.
“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.”

"We are a general contractor that performs between $20 to 30 million in primarily public sector work in the Chicago Metropolitan area annually. We are signatory to the carpenters and laborers union, and we rarely self-perform any work, except when the terms of the contract require some percentage of work to be self-performed."

"I am a Senior estimator for a general contractor in south western PA. I first learned about eTakeoff from McGraw Hill and signed up for the free 30 day trial. Having used other on screen takeoff programs, I found eTakeoff to be very user friendly and after about a week of using the program and some initial support from eTakeoff’s support team, we decided to buy the software package."
