Time is money and your time savings will pay for software itself. Even still, there are free options available for those instances such as STACK’s free takeoff & estimating software which is perfect for low volume contractors.įor those doing over two takeoffs/month, there’s no question that a paid digital takeoff solution will be worthwhile. If you are only doing 1 or 2 takeoffs a month, this might be the way to go for you. The only benefit to using a manual method is that you won’t have to pay for digital blueprint takeoff software. Are you still doing your material takeoffs manually, measuring with a scale ruler? There are many reasons to upgrade your takeoff process to a digital method using software! Benefits of digital takeoffs include savings a massive amount of time, reduction of measuring & calculation errors, ease of making changes after your initial measurement, and savings in blueprint printing costs.
