Case Study: Carroll Estimating slashes takeoff time with Autodesk Construction Cloud

Using Technology to Slash the Time It Takes to Deliver Accurate Takeoffs With Carroll Estimating

Carroll Estimating, a specialist estimating firm serving main contractors and developers across Ireland, the UK and Europe, needed a faster, more accurate way to produce takeoffs and pricing while managing tight tender deadlines and frequent drawing changes. To improve efficiency and collaboration, the team turned to Autodesk Construction Cloud, specifically Autodesk Takeoff, to support both 2D and 3D quantification in a single environment.

With Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk Takeoff, Carroll Estimating created a single source of truth for takeoffs, bids, and tenders, improving coordination with contractors, designers, and supply chain partners. The results were dramatic: a 400-door takeoff that previously took a day could be completed in less than a minute, structural floor pricing dropped from about 30 minutes to seconds, and change updates that once took days could now be verified quickly, helping the small team handle more work with greater accuracy and less administration.
