Digital takeoff software is an easier and better tool for electrical contractors to use when performing takeoff. Traditionally, takeoff involved manually measuring and counting electrical components and devices on paper blueprints or plans. This process was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors and inaccuracies. Digital takeoff software, like Conest’s SureCount, streamlines this process by allowing contractors to perform takeoff digitally, using computer-aided design (CAD) software or other digital blueprints.
With digital takeoff software, electrical contractors can quickly and accurately measure and count components with just a few clicks, eliminating the need for manual measurements and calculations. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of errors and inaccuracies. With SureCount, you can even count symbols automatically with the Auto Count feature. Additionally, digital takeoff software allows contractors to easily make changes and revisions to their takeoff as needed, without having to start over or re-do any manual work.
Another benefit of digital takeoff software is that it can integrate with other software and tools used by contractors, such as electrical estimating software and project management software. This integration allows contractors to streamline their workflows and reduce the time and effort required to complete projects. SureCount seamlessly integrates with Conest’s flagship estimating software, IntelliBid. Overall, digital takeoff software is an easier and better tool for electrical contractors to use when performing takeoff, offering increased accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility compared to traditional manual methods.
Just point and click between pathways and SureCount draws the line in the color and style chosen with each segment and total lengths displayed. It’s easy to lay out branch or feeder runs with elbows and boxes, as well as vertical rises or drops on the drawing or between floors.
Separate areas on a drawing, such as two halves of a floor or an area with unique installation factors, for counts and measurements within the designated area for project requirements, such as itemized pricing or alternate pricing.
Addenda and project changes create revised drawings. Those changes are quickly and easily identified with SureCount’s Overlay feature that displays new items in green and items that were deleted from the original drawing in red.
Direct takeoff from SureCount to IntelliBid improves accuracy while saving you valuable takeoff time. Estimating tasks such as assigning material and labor can now be done during takeoff in SureCount. The organization of drawings and phases is also synchronized with IntelliBid. This gives you an optimized workflow when organizing the project by phases, device types or other categories.
