What does I Takeoff Pro mark on a countertop takeoff?
I Takeoff Pro’s stone countertop service lists overhangs, cutouts, seam locations, splash and mitered edges, delivered as an Excel sheet with color-coded drawings. Seam locations marked by a person are a real advantage for shops that hand drawings to a layout or install crew.
Counterly does not place seams for you. It produces a slab nesting estimate, and your estimator reviews cuts, orientation and seam positions before accepting it. See where countertop seams should go.
What is the difference between quantities and a priced quote?
When is I Takeoff Pro the better choice?
- You want color-coded drawings with seam locations marked by a person.
- You also bid flooring, tile, drywall or paint and want one provider.
- Your volume is irregular and you want to pay by the hour with no contract.
- You already price jobs in your own spreadsheet and only need quantities.
- The plans arrive as files Counterly does not read, such as DWG or Revit.
When is Counterly the better choice?
- You want the bid out the day the plans arrive rather than in one to three days.
- You want slab count, yield and waste estimated with the takeoff.
- You want the quote priced from your price list without rekeying quantities.
- You want the same checks and output format every job, with your estimator reviewing before the bid.
How do you compare a service with no published rate?
Ask I Takeoff Pro for its hourly rate and an hours estimate on a job you have already bid. Multiply them, then add your estimator’s time to price the job, work out slabs and check the result. Compare that total, and the turnaround, with the same job run in Counterly. The takeoff cost guide sets out the method.
What does Counterly not do?
Counterly does not mark seam locations for you, take off flooring, tile or other trades, read DWG, DXF or Revit files, export machine files or replace field templating. Every takeoff is a first pass your estimator confirms.
