On-Screen/Digitizer Take-off - BTOS (BUILDSOFT TAKE-OFF SYSTEM)
BUILDING AN INDUSTRY FROM THE GROUND UP
Buildsoft's latest development BTOS (Buildsoft Take-Off System) is the latest advancement in on-screen and digitizer take-off . This new streamlined interface along with multiple advanced features make this one of the easiest and most intuitive digitizer and on-screen takeoff systems on the market at an affordable price. Our take-off system is 25% of the cost of our competitors digital take-off systems.
Now you can truly achieve faster and more accurate estimates while at the same time drastically cutting time and expenses of costly blueprints and additional hardware for your computer. Choose from a universal range of digital image formats like PDF, DXF and DWG to import into your project. Simply trace over an image area with your mouse, and you'll be able to take off lineal metres, areas, volumes and vertical area results with just a few clicks of your mouse. Once you enter your door and window openings, BTOS will automatically calculate the quantities less the deductions and then transfer this information into your Buildsoft Estimating program.
Available as an "add-on" module for Global Estimating and Offsider Estimating and as a standalone system.
