From Drawing to Final Bill of Quantity List – Measure Digitally and Save Time

Working with drawings in construction projects can be time-consuming and complex, especially when quantities and materials need to be calculated precisely without all the initial details. Here, even small efficiency gains can make a big difference. This is where Geometra comes into play – a powerful, user-friendly quantity software that helps you measure digitally and create accurate quantity lists quickly and efficiently.

1. Measure Directly on PDF: No More Manual Measuring

Traditionally, many in the construction industry have had to handle drawings manually, which requires both time and precision. With Geometra, you can measure directly on PDF drawings, eliminating the need for paper drawings or complex CAD software. You can mark areas, lengths, or volumes on the drawing with just a few clicks, and Geometra handles the rest. The software ensures every measurement is accurate, saving time and minimizing the risk of errors.

2. From Measurement to Quantity Takeoff List – All-in-One Tool

One of Geometra's biggest strengths is that it goes beyond just measuring. Once you've marked your quantity takeoffs on the drawing, you can create a detailed bill of quantity list (with as much detail as you choose). You can use this list for purchasing, cost estimates, or bid requests. Thanks to Geometra's user-friendly interface, even those unfamiliar with digital tools can quickly understand and use its features.

3. Many Measurement Values from Few Work Steps

Geometra includes a set of tools that are easy to understand and use. You can use all the tools to create objects on your drawings. We call them objects, but they're essentially measurements or markings.

With the Area tool, you get the most values to work with. You receive gross and net values and external dimensions for the object. If you've added one or more reductions within an area, you also get the total reduced value to work with when creating quantity entries. Reduced values impact the area's net values and are automatically included.

4. Easier Collaboration and Sharing

Once the quantity list is complete, it can easily be exported and shared with the rest of the project team. Whether your colleagues need the information to place orders or the client wants a clear summary of material usage, Geometra makes it easy to create and share professional documentation. If you use Wikells Sektionsdata, you will find a ready-made export solution to transfer your quantities directly to Wikells.

5. Time Savings at Every Step

The most significant benefit of Geometra is the time savings. By digitizing and automating the entire process from drawing to quantity list, you can cut the time generally required for these tasks in half. This gives you more time to focus on other important project parts, such as project management and follow-up. Over time, this leads to a more efficient workday and provides cost savings for your company.

Summary: Save Time and Increase Precision with Geometra

Geometra offers a fast and easy way to handle quantity takeoffs and quantity lists by measuring digitally directly on the drawing. Whether you're working with tiling, roofing, or other construction projects, you can streamline each step – from measurement to the final bill of quantity list.
