Nine Measurement Tools Built for How Different Quantities Actually Get Measured
Not every quantity is measured the same way. A wall, a repeated fixture, and a volume calculation each need a different approach. AedisPro provides nine specialised takeoff tools matched to quantity type, instead of one generic tracing tool applied to everything.
The Time-Consuming Part of Estimating
Construction takeoff is often the most time-consuming part of the estimating process. Estimators must carefully review drawings, identify elements within their scope, measure quantities, and organise this information before pricing can even 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 find themselves manually tracing items line by line.
A Practical Alternative
Instead of relying on a single measuring tool for every element, AedisPro provides nine specialised takeoff tools designed to help estimators capture quantities according to the specific element being measured.
These tools reduce repetitive clicks and manual tracing so estimators can move through drawings faster while maintaining accurate quantities.
Nine Measurement Tools for Different Quantity Types
Construction drawings contain different types of measurable elements. Each deserves a purpose-built tool rather than a generic line tracer.
Some elements require length measurements, others require area calculations, discrete counts, or volumetric analysis. AedisPro provides nine dedicated takeoff tools to capture quantities with the right precision:

Benefits of Using AedisPro for Construction Takeoff
Measure Quantities Faster
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 action multiple times when measuring similar repeated layouts.
Maintain Clear Quantity Traceability
Structured quantity organisation helps estimators track how every measured element links directly back to the drawing source.
Improve Estimating Productivity
By spending less time on manual tracing, estimators can focus on pricing strategy and tender competitiveness.
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 tracing. AedisPro gives your team nine dedicated tools matched to actual construction elements.
