eTakeoff Bridge, a quantity takeoff software for the construction industry, is an innovative solution that integrates eTakeoff Dimension with Cost Estimating systems.

Bridge is the innovative module that integrates eTakeoff Dimension with Sage CRE Estimating and other Cost Estimating systems.

eTakeoff Bridge,a quantity takeoff software solution for the construction industry, provides the information link between eTakeoff Dimension and the Sage Estimating system. Bridge captures all the items and assembly information and presents it within the Bridge Main window. The estimator drags an individual measurement from the drawing in eTakeoff Dimension and drops it onto the appropriate estimating item or assembly listed in the Bridge Window.

The simple “drag & drop” mechanism allows the estimator to “teach” it the proper relationship between the drawing measurement and the estimated item/assembly with the result sent to the estimating system.

Once set, it will recall the assignment every time that measurement & item/assembly are used again. Thus, as the estimator does more takeoff, Bridge becomes more “intelligent,” ultimately enabling the estimator to automate as much of the integration as they wish.

eTakeoff Bridge is an innovative software product that integrates eTakeoff Dimension with Cost Estimating systems.

Bridge is currently integrated with Sage Estimating 300. Bridge is a separate program that runs between eTakeoff Dimension and the Sage Estimating system. When Bridge is started, it captures all the item and assembly information from Sage Estimating and presents it within the Bridge Main window. In its simplest use, the estimator drags an individual measurement from the drawing in eTakeoff Dimension and drops it onto the appropriate estimating item or assembly listed in the Bridge Window.
