Communications & Security Takeoff and Estimating Software

The communications and security industry are very complex. There are thousands of different devices to take off such as Access Control Devices, Accessories, Intercom Devices and Surveillance Cameras. It would be very tedious to have to manually count all of those symbols and highly unlikely that the quantity takeoff software will be close to accurate. eTakeoff Dimension accelerates this process with the Pattern Search tool in our security estimating software. Pattern search can be used to find multiple occurrences of symbols representing components that need to be counted with speed and, more importantly, accuracy.

A sample pattern is selected in the drawing. Then Dimension searches the entire drawing for other occurrences of the symbol. The results are sorted by how well they fit the original pattern and displayed in a grid. You can easily make additions or deletions. The selected matches are then converted into a count measurement. Best of all, you can also search for the same pattern on multiple pages of a project in the background while you perform other takeoff software estimates on the project such as linear feet of conduit and cable runs or other device pattern searches.

With eTakeoff’s security estimating software, takeoffs and bid output just became a whole lot easier. Gain the benefits of user friendliness, assembly capabilities, multi-user technology, and more with our security estimating software!
