In their own words
eTakeoff
eTakeoff Dimension is Windows software for PDF and electronic quantity takeoff in construction estimating. Its digital measurement tools record quantities from drawings, while assemblies and Microsoft Excel integration support estimating work. Measurements are stored in Dimension’s database as takeoff progresses, and the company says that database grows with the user. Multiple users can work over a network or through cloud hosting; record locking supports concurrent work on a project or drawing. Named estimating integrations include Sage Estimating, Trimble WinEst, and Gordian 4Clicks. For communications and security estimating, Pattern Search locates matching drawing symbols and turns selected matches into count measurements. The company identifies SnapAI and Togal.AI as its two AI takeoff technologies. A free Basic viewer is listed, and the takeoff software has a 15-day trial. Advanced costs $795 a year per user, while Premier costs $1,495 a year per user. Togal.ai is a $1,800 a year per-user add-on to either paid plan. Dimension is not available for Mac OS.
