As a preconstruction manager that has been in the business for over 50 years, I have always wrestled with the amount of time it takes to perform take-offs when preparing estimates. This time should be spent compiling bids, scoping, leveling and value engineering, which leads to a better understanding of the scope and cost of a project. This is especially important when it comes to preliminary or early estimates to help determine if we pursue the job or not, that “go”, “no-go” decision. Thanks to Togal, we can almost instantly perform a take-off and have a preliminary estimate to help inform those early decisions.
