Land Takeoffs

ChatGPTby Land Takeoffs

Land Takeoffs turns civil plan sets and CAD files into sitework and earthwork quantities that estimators can bid from. Attach a civil plan set PDF, a CAD file (DWG, DXF or LandXML), or both, or share a Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive link. Land Takeoffs reads every sheet and measures the CAD surfaces, then returns quantities grouped by division: clearing and erosion control, earthwork cut, fill and import or export, storm drainage, water, sewer, paving, stone base, curb and sidewalk. Every line cites its source sheet or file and carries a confidence level. Items the plans don't show are listed as open questions, not guessed. Each takeoff also returns an Excel bid sheet, a PDF summary and a short project video. If you save a unit price list in your account, the Excel can be priced from it. The PDF never shows prices. Built for civil and sitework contractors, estimators, land developers and engineers who bid or review residential and commercial site packages. Limitations: quantities come only from the documents you provide. CAD earthwork depends on the existing and proposed surfaces in the file. Strip depth, shrink and topsoil reuse are not shown on drawings, so Land Takeoffs asks for them and labels anything assumed. A plan set takes several minutes to read; a CAD file usually takes a few minutes. Land Takeoffs does not design, engineer or stamp plans. Results are a takeoff for estimating and should be checked by the estimator before bidding. Takeoffs use the credits in your Land Takeoffs account.
