What is BidScreen XL?

BidScreen XL is a powerful add-in for Excel that enables users to perform takeoffs from electronic plans right within Microsoft Excel. This tool provides a comprehensive audit trail while automating the often laborious takeoff process, making it significantly more efficient. Users can easily take measurements, counts, and identify areas by simply clicking on a cell in their spreadsheet, directly referencing their digital drawings. The Excel workbook not only saves these measurements but also allows for color-coded takeoff drawings that can be edited and printed as needed. Furthermore, users have the flexibility to apply various colors, count symbols, and line styles to enhance their drawings. Included in the software are sample estimating templates tailored for general contractors, as well as specific trades like concrete, roofing, and painting. It supports DWG vector and PDF file formats, ensuring compatibility with various design sources. For precise measurements, users can snap layers to specific objects and isolate them for clarity. Additionally, with just one click, multiple takeoff files and pages can be opened simultaneously, streamlining the workflow even further. This makes BidScreen XL an invaluable tool for professionals looking to enhance their estimating accuracy and efficiency.

What is Autodesk Takeoff?

Boost your likelihood of winning projects by implementing competitive bids that arise from accurate estimates, which are generated through cohesive takeoffs and quantity measurements. Encourage teamwork between estimators and construction crews by using a cloud-based data management system that ensures everyone is aligned with a single source of reliable information. Streamline the process of creating competitive bids by performing more accurate 2D takeoffs and automating the generation of quantities from 3D models, thus saving precious time. Capture the full project scope by accurately measuring even the most complex quantities, which minimizes the chances of rework. Improve comprehension of design intent and constructability issues by visualizing the project scope in a 3D environment, enhancing clarity for all stakeholders involved. Maintain a consolidated database of both 2D and 3D quantities throughout the construction process. Estimating teams gain from easier access to relevant construction documents, drawings, and 3D models, which fosters better collaboration and communication. Effortlessly assess project scope through various takeoff methods—linear, count, and area—while also having the flexibility to create diverse quantities and apply tailored formulas as required. With these resources at your disposal, achieving both accuracy and efficiency in the estimating process not only becomes more feasible but also elevates the overall quality of project planning and execution. Consequently, this leads to improved project outcomes and greater client satisfaction.
