First things first, you need to add takeoff measurements to the system to access all the features Buildern offers here.
-
While working with the plans in real time
-
Manually from the Measurements tab or the Estimate
-
From templates or other projects
Takeoff measurements are project-based data, meaning you can also copy them from other projects and templates or create them from scratch. All measurements entered via the Takeoff will automatically populate within the Estimate.
