What is Take-Off by WEQS?

Take-Off, created by WEQS, is a dedicated Windows desktop software tailored for quantity surveyors and construction estimators, aimed at simplifying the measurement of architectural plans. The application supports a variety of file formats, such as PDF, DWG, DXF, and DWFx, in addition to image files and scans of drawings. After establishing a scale, users can measure areas, lengths, counts, and angles by tracing or selecting from existing vector drawing linework. Users can categorize measurements, apply color codes, and assign distinct reference numbers, with the ability to mark certain measurements as checked or flagged for further review. The take-off list establishes a direct connection between quantities and their respective locations on the drawings, while also summarizing total counts by category. Projects are efficiently managed with drawings and measurements kept together in a single file. Users can easily export quantities to formats like Excel or CSV, transfer data into spreadsheets, and print drawings with annotations as PDFs. The software is compatible with local installations on Windows 10 or 11 systems and operates without requiring an internet connection, ensuring that all drawings and measurements are securely stored on the user's device. Furthermore, it effectively streamlines the processes of quantity take-off and drawing review, which are crucial for effective construction project management. By enhancing both productivity and accuracy, Take-Off significantly benefits professionals involved in construction estimation and planning. Moreover, its user-friendly interface ensures that even those new to the software can quickly adapt and utilize its features efficiently.
