System combines take-off technology with the estimating process

Hewlett-Packard recently partnered with E/T Software and CSI to provide a computer package that incorporates software, hardware, and services that automate the take-off function of estimating. E/T Software’s ElectroFind is the first take-off technology that’s designed to work with the estimating process. The software searches electronic files of blueprints and creates a take-off schedule. CSI’s BidWise32+ allows users to save, retrieve, and customize reports and perform electrical calculations from within the package. The company has certified BidWise32+ software and ElectroFind software on its Workstation xw4200 platform.
