AGTEK Gradework vs On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid

AGTEK Gradework is paid earthwork takeoff software for construction planning, estimating, and field operations on Windows. It supports 2D and 3D measurement, with takeoff from CAD or PDF files as well as manual entry. Users can calculate cut-and-fill quantities, analyze amounts by phase and structure, calculate volumes, detail strata, and calculate sectional areas. Custom assemblies are supported. Gradework processes drone imagery and point clouds for earthwork and materials progress tracking. It exports machine-control models for Leica, Topcon, and Trimble systems, and supports Google Earth files, mobile-app synchronization, and customized exports to estimating programs. Industry-standard imports and exports support data exchange with other construction tools. Materials and Underground are optional integrations. AGTEK lists a wide range of drawing and export formats. The software requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11; pricing and licensing are provided through a local sales representative.

On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid are construction estimating products that carry work from plan measurements to bids. On-Screen Takeoff measures construction plans and calculates quantities; Quick Bid turns those quantities into detailed cost estimates. On-Screen Takeoff supports PDF, CAD and image-based plans, object counts, multi-condition takeoff, drawing-version overlays, styles and templates. Takeoff Boost adds automated takeoff, counting, scaling, bookmarking, naming and linking tools. Quick Bid can gather supplier quotes through eQuotes and use real-time supplier pricing. It supports change orders and compiles itemized materials, labor, overhead and profit into estimates. It also creates customized proposals and accounting-friendly job-costing exports. The products connect directly so quantities flow into estimates without re-entry. The vendor says On-Screen Takeoff covers more than 50 CSI MasterFormat divisions. It recommends Windows 10 Pro or Home, requires an internet connection and local Windows administrator installation. A free 14-day trial is available without a credit card or obligation to continue.
