Introduction

Take-Off is an app for defining and managing the elements that will shape your project. Here, you can create 3 different types of Take-Offs:

BIM: Take-off in which elements and their quantities are exported from a BIM Model repository.

BIM-based: Take-off is created based on a take-off type BIM and the elements are grouped by chosen parameters. 

Manual: Take-off in which elements are exported from an excel file and/or created manually in the app.
