Every building has its price.
Cost Early, Cost Often
Autodesk® Quantity Takeo software helps make cost estimating faster, easier, and more accurate, from design through delivery.
Regardless of what phase you are in during a project— from design through preconstruction— Autodesk Quantity Takeo helps enable cost estimators to more rapidly generate material quantity takeos and perform conceptual estimates. Whether you have an image file of a napkin sketch or a fully developed building information model (BIM) developed in Autodesk® Revit-based products, Autodesk Quantity Takeo helps cost estimators to gain an in­depth understanding of project costs.
With Autodesk Quantity Takeo software, cost estimators can easily create synchronized, comprehensive project views that combine pertinent information from building information modeling tools (such as Autodesk Architecture software, Autodesk software, and Autodesk geometry, images, and data from other applications.
Take advantage of digital property data to automatically or manually measure areas and count or price building components such as walls, doors, and window. Then print the results, export to Microsoft file format.
Stay Digital
More consistent productivity depends on up-to­date drawings and data. Autodesk Quantity Takeo reporting tools helps enable users to create digital, detailed materials reports much faster than paper­based processes. With Autodesk Quantity Takeo, you can keep your workflow digital and help ensure that reports, materials quantities, and other data remain up to date.
Stay Realistic
More eciently count and quantify building components and their compositions. Related components are more easily cross-referenced to help ensure that your valuable time is spent costing, not counting.

Stay Digital and Up to Date
Use Autodesk Quantity Takeo software to collect and synchronize design data and help streamline cost-estimation processes.
Takeo in Minutes Automatically
Autodesk Quantity Takeo software provides a whole new way of working. Through full integration of and support for D and D design data, Autodesk Quantity Takeo helps enable you to perform a takeo on an entire building information model in just minutes—as opposed to days using traditional methods. The software provides greater flexibility than typical databases or spreadsheets, enabling a smoother, more accurate workflow for cost estimators.
Working in D, you can perform intuitive, interactive model examination to gain a better understanding of the model for estimating purposes. Object visibility and transparency are adjustable according to building section or component type. The highly configurable project catalog makes the organization of design and construction objects quicker and easier.
Do It Yourself
Autodesk Quantity Takeo now has more powerful manual takeo capabilities that support the takeo of JPG, TIF, PDF, and other “nonintelligent” image formats. Use multiple line segments, arcs, or a combination of line and arc segments when tracing geometry on a floor plan. Specify whether to treat a series of continuously drawn segments as a single takeo measurement or as individual takeo measurements. More rapidly perform area
calculations, linear measurements, and counts, and organize your results more quickly and easily in the project catalog.
Spot the Dierence
If you are working with DWF files, you can use the Sheet Compare function to compare D sheets from your current takeo project with an internal or external sheet. Then you can more quickly generate a list of modifications and view a visual representation of the dierences.
Quantify More Quickly
Now you can count and quantify all of your project design data more quickly and easily. Use unlimited component subassemblies to categorize and count materials to an infinite level of detail. Use the Search Takeo function to help expedite takeo of similar intelligent drawing objects. Organize them in the component catalog, then more quickly analyze your results in the dynamic Autodesk Quantity Takeo Workbook.
Maintain a Dynamic Document of Record
The Autodesk Quantity Takeo Workbook helps enable cost estimators to compile, update, and interact with quantity-related project data. In the workbook, you can switch between a cost summary view and a detailed object view for any item. View information for the current sheet or for the entire project. Add and edit item and assembly formulas, and define item properties, directly in the Workbook, using Auto Fill and other tools that function like those in Microsoft Excel. Enter overrides for item and object dimensions. See which items and objects contain overrides. All contents can be saved for a comprehensive document of record at project’s end.
With the help of Autodesk Quantity Takeo software, cost estimators can collect and quantify multiformat design data and high­quality images, and utilize property data to automatically or manually measure, count, and price various building objects.
We have so much more confidence in the prices we relay to owners and other stakeholders. With Quantity Takeo, we know the numbers are right.
