Overview
Exact Take is a web-only construction quantity takeoff application for importing plan PDFs/images, calibrating drawing sheets, measuring area/linear/count quantities, reviewing summaries, and exporting takeoff data.
Application
Exact Take
Exact Take gives estimators a faster way to measure plans, organize quantities, and move takeoff results into estimating.
Exact Take is a web-only construction quantity takeoff application for importing plan PDFs/images, calibrating drawing sheets, measuring area/linear/count quantities, reviewing summaries, and exporting takeoff data.
Highlights
- Plan Import and Sheet Management
- Scale Calibration
- Area, Linear, and Count Takeoffs
- Takeoff Item Organization
- Sheet and Project Summaries
- Phoenix Estimate Export
- Find Similar Counts
Capabilities
- ExactTake is the web version only. Users sign in through the browser and work in app.html. Import PDF, TIFF, PNG, JPG, and selected pages from multi-page plan documents. Calibrate each sheet using a known printed distance before measuring. Create Label, Area, Rectangle Area, Linear, and Count tasks with units L, SF, LF, and EA. Use Find Similar Counts as a review-only assisted workflow for repeated symbols. Export takeoff results after task description, unit, and quantity are verified.
Outcomes
- Exact Take helps estimators gather reliable quantities from construction plans before estimating. The measurement phase should focus on descriptions, units, and quantities; production and man-day values belong in the estimating/export stage. Support answers should give step-by-step ExactTake web workflow guidance and should not ask whether the user is on a Windows desktop version.
