Simple measurement and marking tools
You can use Geometra to measure almost anything when extracting precise quantities. Are you preparing a bid for a request?
You mark up areas directly on drawings using simple tools. For example, floors, walls, ceilings, facades, green spaces, asphalt, or interior roofs. You obtain measurements such as square meters, lengths, and volumes from these markings. Assign different materials to the measures, such as parquet flooring, gypsum boards, or similar. Then, organize the bill of quantities into folders, and voila! You got your bill of quantities.
You can use any files with known dimensions, such as drawings, photos, maps, or aerial and drone photos. Geometra supports most file formats: PDF, JPG, PNG, Word, PPT, and Excel.
Transform measurements into quantity takeoffs
Each measured object (e.g., an area) can contain detailed information you input into your 'rows.' You use the rows to assign different types of information to your measurements, turning the row into a quantity in your bill of quantities. You decide how much information you want to input, and the row is easily linked to a measurement.
You can export the data in the rows to the clipboard or CSV (comma-separated values).You can also save your rows and use them for multiple projects. This makes your work efficient if, for example, you need to use the same material numerous times.
Build up your register of rows to quickly reuse the information in multiple projects.
Collaborate, for real
Does everyone in your team work in Geometra? Congratulations! Then you can collaborate for real!
Geometra enables you to collaborate with your team at different project stages, from measuring your drawings and generating a bills of quantities in real-time to tracking and extracting summaries during production.
Everyone accessing the information is constantly updated with the latest changes.
Even though Geometra primarily targets those involved in measurement and estimation, there is significant value for colleagues in production to access the groundwork for how the work should be carried out. Sharing information from assessments reduces the risk of errors. It also facilitates understanding and generating subtotals and breakdowns needed during the project.
Why reinvent the wheel?
Using templates allows you to work more efficiently by saving information that you can later reuse. In Geometra, there are four types of templates, all interconnected to facilitate your work.
In Geometra, you can create templates you and your team can always work with to achieve a good result and save time when working with quantity takeoffs. Consider what structure you want to work with before you start: How do you usually name objects, markings, and quantities? What should always be included? What should the foundation look like to facilitate your team's work?
We recommend being consistent in your naming conventions. It creates order and clarity. Is your structure based on location, material, or workgroup? Your needs determine how you build your templates.
Templates also make it easy for multiple people to work on the same project. The template sets the standard that allows everyone to work in the same way.
Carry valuable information forward
You might have a pricing template or cost-estimating software that you want to continue using. In that case, you can manually export your bill of quantities from Geometra, or set up a data connection directly from Geometra. You can then continue working with the quantity takeoffs in your other tools.
Quantity takeoffs can easily be exported to the clipboard or CSV (comma-separated values). For example, you can paste the clipboard into Excel, and your export will automatically format. This makes it easy to match with your estimating templates or use for further processing.
You can also export the colour-coded drawings that you've measured and use them as working documents or as supplements to your quotes.With Geometra's export capabilities, you can quickly move from inquiry to pricing and delivery.
Want to avoid manual exports? You can build your data connection (via Webhook) between Geometra and your other programs.
