eTakeoff
7 Case Studies
A eTakeoff Case Study
Excellence In Stone is a south Florida tile and marble subcontractor specializing in high‑end residential and commercial projects (Four Seasons Miami, Versace house). Their chief estimator, Silvia Rojas, originally estimated with a digitizer and manual spreadsheets, limiting her to about 20 estimates per month and making competitive bidding slow and labor‑intensive until they adopted eTakeoff’s takeoff software (Silvia now runs the Premier version).
Using eTakeoff, Silvia digitizes electronic plans, leverages extensions for per‑measurement calculations, organizes traces in a tree, combines totals with the Quantity Worksheet, and uses drawing comparison and annotations to manage hundreds of revisions. eTakeoff has tripled her productivity (roughly 20 → ~60 estimates/month), boosted Excellence In Stone’s professional image, reduced general contractors’ printing costs, and streamlined complex, multi‑drawing takeoffs and field handoffs.
