Quantity takeoffs are a crucial part of the pre-construction phase. Estimators use takeoffs to understand what materials are needed for the timely completion of a project and how much it will cost. Even minor errors made at this stage can considerably affect the rest of the stages that follow. Takeoffs affect the overall cost estimation, timeline, and workflows.

Contracting firms are among the first to adopt and implement the latest technology to reap the benefits of gaining a competitive edge over others. If you are among the handful of firms that still perform manual takeoffs, you probably spend more time shuffling through heaps of plans and papers rather than focusing on putting together accurate bids and estimates.

Many firms perform takeoffs by hand as they find it challenging to adapt to new technology or find resources to streamline the highly skilled experts and infrastructure needed to go digital. Luckily, firms of all types and sizes can get precise digital takeoffs, and that too at incredibly cost-effective rates. Check out how ADDMORE Services  helps contracting firms automate the many processes used in producing Bills of Quantities and Bills of Materials . Here are some benefits of partnering with ADDMORE Services and getting accurate digital takeoffs.

Manual takeoffs are extremely time-consuming and require utmost precision. Automating the processes saves tons of time as you don’t have to count objects and fixtures manually. This is especially true for projects with repetitive spaces. Using cutting-edge takeoff software allows experts to perform the takeoff once and replicate the results for all rooms with a similar layout.

If there is a need to manually measure the ceilings, floors, and walls of a room, each takeoff would have to be done individually after calculating each object's measurements. The process will need to be repeated repeatedly for each hallway, room, or space within the building. Automation helps select multiple objects that need to be measured. The takeoff needs to be performed once, and everything that has been selected will be measured one time. This is a huge time-saver, especially for multi-trade contracting firms that need to measure multiple objects while performing takeoffs.

Digital takeoffs are reliable, repeatable processes, allowing the quick measuring of areas, quantities, and linear distances. Using cutting-edge takeoff software enables team ADDMORE to offer customization and creation of conditions and digitizations' used frequently to improve the efficiency and productivity of the estimating team. It can help streamline consistent takeoffs quickly and painlessly. Contractors can redirect their focus and time to getting their estimates right, resulting in better bids and freein
