Why Estimators use Groundplan to manage their takeoffs

Take off, which is sometimes spelled as “take-off” or “takeoff“, is an essential element of the cost estimating process in the construction industries. Construction blueprints, no matter if digital or on paper, are used to “take off” quantities of items that will be needed in order to prepare part of the estimate.
