What it is
eTakeoff Dimension is Windows software for PDF and electronic quantity takeoff in construction estimating. Its digital measurement tools, assembly capabilities, and Microsoft Excel integration support estimating work. Measurements are recorded in Dimension’s database as takeoff proceeds, and the company says the database grows with the user. Multi-user access is available over a network or hosted in the cloud, with record locking for 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 finds matching drawing symbols and turns selected results into count measurements. The company describes SnapAI and Togal.AI as its two AI takeoff technologies. A free Basic viewer and a 15-day trial are listed. Advanced costs 795.00 USD per year per user, and Premier costs 1495.00 USD per year per user. Togal.ai is a 1800.00 USD per year per-user add-on to Advanced or Premier. The install page also lists Bridge, Navisworks Integrator, and Server.
Who it suits. It is intended for construction estimators doing digital takeoffs from PDFs, including teams that need shared access or estimating integrations. Communications and security estimators may use Pattern Search to count drawing symbols.
