Below are the 3 easy steps to develop Material Lists for all your projects:
1. Red Line Your Blueprints (Digitize on screen)
 (Click thumbnails for larger image)
Redline Assemblies once like walls and take off multiple trades. Click on any Group and simply draw with your mouse. It automatically updates all the quantities in that Group's Assembly List. Assemblies save you time because you can estimate more than one thing at a time. Have any number of items in an assembly and have each of those items sorted to the correct takeoff when you compile a report of the job.
 Unique Trades Report (downloads pdf file) shows the list of takeoff materials for each drawing - very instructional for everyone involved with your projects.
 Turn Your Digital Camera into a Blueprint Scanner!
Finally, a fast, easy way to get perfect pictures of blueprints every time. If you use a Digital Camera getting your paper blueprints into CADESTIMATOR, you’ll love the speed and ease this system has. Import into CAD ESTIMATOR'S Takeoff System which allows the estimator to draw on it to take-off material - a fantastic time saver. Because the blueprint is imported you don’t need to re-draw it, like some CAD programs that estimate material also.
Powerful Graphic Tools Make It Easy
CADESTIMATOR has a simple yet powerful set of graphics tools, and is one of the reasons that the program is so easy to learn. You click on a graphic tool and then draw right on the blueprint you see on the screen.
2. Review Reports
 The 'Trades Report' (downloads pdf file) shows drawings of where each material is installed per your Takeoffs - scroll through the file to view colored drawings of where materials are installed.
Generate Summary, Detailed and compiled Bill of Materials Reports.
Use the Cost Database of 6000 items; or your own historical data and Price Files.
Cover page generator makes your bid stand out.
3. Import Cadest Material Takeoffs into EZConstruction Manager's Estimator ready to use all screens and reports: Job Estimates, PO's, Quote Request, Change Orders and others.
Cadest includes an EZConstructionMgr Job Template that matches the cost Activities in EZConstructionMgr for your convenience. Create a Cadest Export file from this Job Template and import those Activities and Items into an EZConstructionMgr Job Estimate.
 Then use EZCM Reports to sort by Activity no., Item no., SKU no. or by Category which can be used for ‘Shipment no’s’ or other purposes.
