Time-Consuming Takeoff Process

Construction takeoff is one of the most time-consuming parts of the estimating process. Estimators must carefully review drawings, identify elements within their scope, measure quantities, and organise this information before pricing can begin.

In many estimating workflows, this process involves repeatedly measuring similar elements across multiple drawing sheets. Even when digital takeoff software is used, estimators often still need to manually trace items line by line.

A Different Approach

AedisPro introduces a different approach to construction takeoff.

Instead of relying on a single measuring method, AedisPro provides multiple specialised takeoff tools designed to help estimators capture quantities in different ways depending on the type of element being measured.

These tools reduce repetitive work and allow estimators to move through drawings faster while maintaining accuracy.

The Problem with Traditional Takeoff Workflows

Traditional takeoff workflows typically follow a similar pattern

Traditional Workflow Pattern:

Drawings

Manual Measurement

Spreadsheet Organisation

Estimate Preparation

Even with digital takeoff software, estimators still spend a large amount of time manually measuring similar elements across different drawings.

Examples of Repetitive Work:

Measuring multiple rooms with similar layouts

Counting repeated fixtures or components

Measuring finishes across many spaces

Tracing partitions across floor plans

These repetitive measurement tasks can consume a large portion of the estimating process

A Different Approach to Construction Takeoff

AedisPro is designed around the idea that different types of quantities require different measurement methods

Instead of relying on a single measurement tool, AedisPro provides nine specialised takeoff tools that allow estimators to capture quantities more efficiently depending on the type of element they are measuring.

This approach helps estimators reduce repetitive measuring work and capture quantities faster.

The goal is not simply to digitise manual measurement, but to make the takeoff process faster and more adaptable to different construction elements.

With AedisPro, estimators can:

Choose measurement tools suited to specific quantity types

Measure repeated elements more efficiently

Organise quantities clearly while working through drawings

Generate structured BOQ formats as part of the workflow

Nine Measurement Tools Designed for Different Quantity Types

Construction drawings contain many types of measurable elements

Some elements require length measurements, others require area calculations, counts, or more specialised quantity types.

AedisPro includes nine different takeoff tools that allow estimators to capture quantities using the most appropriate method.

These tools are designed to support measurement of:

Linear elements

Surface areas

Counts of repeated items

Volumes

Segmented quantities

Detailed interior elements

By providing multiple measurement methods, AedisPro helps estimators choose the most efficient way to capture quantities for each element

Reduce Repetitive Measurement Work

One of the biggest challenges in construction takeoff is repetitive measurement

Estimators frequently encounter situations where the same type of element appears many times across drawings.

When these elements are measured manually one by one, the process becomes slow and repetitive.

AedisPro's measurement tools are designed to help estimators capture these quantities more efficiently.

Instead of repeating the same measuring action multiple times, estimators can apply the most suitable measurement tool to capture quantities faster and organise them clearly.

Examples of Repetitive Elements:

Identical rooms in residential projects

Repeated office layouts in commercial buildings

Similar ceiling areas across multiple floors

Recurring partitions or wall systems

Capture Quantities Across Different Construction Elements

Construction takeoff requires measuring many different types of elements

AedisPro supports takeoff workflows across a wide range of construction components:

Walls and partitions

Floor finishes

Ceiling areas

Structural elements

Tiling works

Painting and coatings

Fixtures and fittings

Because each element may require a different measurement approach, having multiple takeoff tools helps estimators capture quantities more efficiently

Organise Quantities While Measuring

In many traditional workflows, estimators measure quantities first and organise them later in spreadsheets or BOQ documents.

AedisPro allows estimators to organise quantities as part of the takeoff workflow.

Quantities captured using the measurement tools can be structured into BOQ formats that help estimators prepare estimates more efficiently. This helps reduce the amount of time spent transferring information between different tools.

Benefits of Using AedisPro for Construction Takeoff

Measure Quantities Faster

Multiple specialised measurement tools allow estimators to capture quantities more efficiently across different types of construction elements

Reduce Repetitive Work

Estimators can avoid repeating the same measurement process multiple times when dealing with similar elements

Maintain Clear Quantity Information

Structured quantity organisation helps estimators keep track of measured elements throughout the takeoff process

Improve Estimating Productivity

By reducing time spent on repetitive measuring tasks, estimators can focus more on analysing project scope and preparing accurate estimates

Start Performing Construction Takeoffs with Greater Efficiency

Construction takeoff is a critical step in the estimating process, but it does not need to be dominated by repetitive manual measurement.

AedisPro introduces a takeoff workflow built around specialised measurement tools that allow estimators to capture quantities more efficiently across different construction elements.

By reducing repetitive work and supporting multiple measurement approaches, AedisPro helps estimating teams move through drawings faster while maintaining control over their quantities.
