  CARLSON TAKEOFF ESTIMATING SOFTWARE
   
 
   
  Carlson Takeoff is the first ever AutoCAD®-based site-estimating package, which allows users to generate estimates faster and more accurately then any other software package on the market.  Furthermore, output capabilities to survey equipment and 3D machine control streamline the office to field process saving you time while also simplifying your software needs.

The Fastest Way to Estimate with both digitizing and CAD capabilities, Carlson Takeoff offers a "no limitations" approach to the estimator by handling both paper and electronic plans.  However, the fastest way to generate an estimate is by using the electronic files or "digital plans" from formats such as DWG, DXF, or LandXML.  Since Carlson is an expert on AutoCAD, they can work with these "digital files" in ways other estimating packages simply can't.  Drawing files from engineers can be cleaned up and simplified for estimating in one powerful command, Drawing Cleanup.  Innovated commands like Drawing Inspector check the integrity of the drawing and a host of routines like Polyline Utilities and Change Elevation, allows you to revise the drawing as easily as the engineer could.  The bottom line is: the tedious work associated with other software packages to estimate from "digital plans" is eliminated, saving you countless hours of needless work digitizing.

   
 
Key Features:  
  • 2D to 3D conversion routines for linework and spot elevations
  • Digitizing Routines
  • Calculates volumes and material quantities
  • Cut/Fill Color Maps and labels
  • 3D Driver Over Simulation
  • Surfaces are modeled by triangulation
  • Easy to use: automated routines with reduced prompting
  • Work from scanned drawings

The most important development today for your construction company is GPS Machine Control and Guidance.  Carlson Takeoff's TIN files, site drawing, and road design files can all be uploaded into Carlson SurvCR data collection for staking your site with conventional total stations, robotic instruments and GPS.  But most importantly, the data is compatible with all popular machine control and guidance.
