Takeoff

Integrated Takeoff Built into Your Estimating Workflow

Measure directly from drawings and models with quantities fully linked to your estimate. No separate tools, no manual transfer, just connected data from measurement through to cost and carbon.

No more disconnected takeoff. Everything is linked, traceable, and built into your estimate.

Traditional takeoff often relies on separate tools, manual exports, and copying quantities into estimating systems. This creates risk, duplication, and a lack of traceability. Sterling removes this entirely by embedding take off directly within the estimating workflow.

Quantities are measured once and linked directly to cost items and resources. Whether working in 2D drawings or 3D models, every measurement feeds straight into your estimate, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and full visibility. As designs evolve, updates flow through without the need to rework or duplicate effort.

2D Takeoff

Measure accurately from a wide range of drawing formats with full collaboration across your team.

  • Perform detailed 2D takeoff from PDF, DWG, DGN and other formats

  • Use a full suite of measurement tools for lengths, areas, counts, and more

  • Link all quantities directly to cost items and resources

  • Collaborate across teams working on the same drawings

  • Maintain clear traceability from drawing to estimate

  • Link resources directly to measured quantities

  • Reduce manual processes and eliminate rekeying of data

3D Takeoff from BIM Models

Unlock the full value of BIM models by extracting object data and quantities directly into your estimate.

  • Work with models from Revit, IFC, Navisworks and other common formats

  • Extract object data and properties directly from the model

  • Generate accurate quantities from model geometry

  • Map model elements to cost items and resources

  • Standardise approaches across teams and regions

  • Maintain alignment between model data and estimating structure

  • Improve speed and accuracy compared to manual measurement

Revision Management

Designs change constantly. Sterling enables you to manage revisions with clarity and control before impacting your estimate.

  • Import new revisions of drawings and models directly into Sterling

  • Compare revisions to identify changes in quantities and scope

  • Visualise differences quickly to support decision making

  • Align outputs with PAS 2080 principles and best practice

  • Generate reports highlighting key changes

  • Control when revisions are accepted and set as current

  • Automatically update quantities in your estimate once approved
