eTakeoff Integrations

In the construction industry, RSMeans data is renowned for its comprehensive cost details, a reputation it has upheld for many years. Founded by civil engineer Robert Snow Means, he meticulously compiled construction costs in a collection of leather-bound volumes created at his home. His skill in tracking expenses related to equipment, materials, and labor garnered admiration from his colleagues during the 1940s, leading many to seek to purchase his "cost books." Today, Gordian provides RSMeans data, which features over 92,000 distinct line items. Each year, cost engineers dedicate more than 30,000 hours to verifying and researching these costs to ensure their accuracy. While this essential cost information remains accessible in printed books, it is also offered through innovative estimating software that enhances usability. Construction costs encompass expenses for materials, labor, and equipment, and can be examined at both the unit and assembly levels. Furthermore, RSMeans Data Online serves as a cloud-based platform, enabling users to access localized construction costs conveniently, making it an invaluable resource for industry professionals. The evolution of this data has transformed how construction costs are approached and managed today.

eTakeoff Bridge is an innovative software application that effectively links eTakeoff Dimension with a range of Cost Estimating systems, such as Sage Estimating 300. Acting as an independent tool, Bridge functions as a conduit between eTakeoff Dimension and Sage Estimating software. When users open Bridge, it promptly gathers all pertinent item and assembly information from Sage Estimating, which is then displayed in the Bridge Main window. Estimators can effortlessly drag specific measurements from the eTakeoff Dimension drawing and drop them onto the respective item or assembly visible in the Bridge interface. This user-friendly approach drastically minimizes both the time spent and the likelihood of errors during the takeoff phase, often considered the most tedious and error-prone aspect of construction cost estimating. Additionally, eTakeoff Dimension improves the accuracy of takeoffs with advanced assemblies, a patented symbol search feature for automatic counting, creative work breakdown structures, cutting-edge database technology, and other functionalities designed to enhance the estimating workflow. With eTakeoff Bridge and eTakeoff Dimension collaborating, the methodology that estimators utilize for construction projects is transformed, encouraging not only enhanced precision but also increased productivity in the industry. This integration marks a significant step forward in streamlining the entire estimating process for construction professionals.
