AutoDesk Takeoff, a product of Autodesk, is a leading solution in the construction industry. Autodesk, the parent company, has been a pioneer in the field of design software and services. AutoDesk Takeoff is a cloud-based solution that allows estimators to create 2D and 3D takeoffs from a single platform, thereby enabling the creation of accurate estimates and competitive bids in a faster manner.

This software is designed to enhance the accuracy and collaboration in the construction takeoff process by combining 2D and 3D capabilities. Whether you’re using the imperial or metric system, you can capture the scope of a construction project with linear, count, or area takeoff tools. It allows you to generate multiple quantities for any takeoff drawn and reassign takeoffs to different types with ease.

AutoDesk Takeoff also offers cloud-based document management, ensuring that the estimating team always works off the latest project documents for takeoff. This results in improved collaboration among team members and ensures everyone is working from a single source of truth.

The software allows you to quickly generate quantities from Building Information Models (BIM), saving time in visualizing the scope of a construction project. You can use customized formulas to generate complex quantities in both 2D and 3D. It also allows you to save a snapshot to preserve project information at a given moment in time to reference historical takeoff data from different phases as the estimate progresses.

One of the key features of AutoDesk Takeoff is its ability to combine 2D and 3D takeoffs. This streamlines the construction takeoff process by eliminating errors. Aggregated 2D and 3D quantities can be rolled up by classification, type, and location to allow for easy integrations with Excel and other estimating solutions.

AutoDesk Takeoff is a comprehensive solution for construction professionals looking to improve their estimating process. Its integration with other Autodesk products, extensive cost databases, and superior takeoff tools make it a powerful tool in the construction industry.
