WinScale is a Windows based
graphical takeoff program designed to handle buildings, structures,
or 2 dimensional sitework. WinScale
uses any digitizer that can run a "WinTab driver",
i.e. GTCO, Altek, Kurta, CalComp, Numonics, Summa, etc. (call
or email for information on any digitizer not listed).
(SOFTakeoff is our "Digitizerless" version
of Winscale. Click
here for more info on SOFTakeoff)
WinScale is designed to work either as a stand
alone application or in conjunction with any Windows spreadsheet
(Excel, Lotus, Quattro Pro, etc.), Database (Paradox, Access etc.),
or estimating program. WinScale™ is remarkably easy to learn - our
typical user is very comfortable in about 20 minutes.
WinScale measures areas,
lengths, and counts items along with solutions for: concrete,
framing, roofing, flooring, drywall, and practically any other building
trade. Among these features are slab/footing takeoffs, roof layouts
(with hips, valleys, joists and buy lengths), tile layouts (for
acoustical & ceramic flooring) and many more. It also has a
formula generator that can be user customized, which lets you apply
an equation to any measurement, and has unique 3-dimensional takeoff
abilities. These aren't just "assemblies" where you provide
a simple factor - these features actually draw and layout components
exactly as they will be built - and report the precise quantities
(including buy quantities). All at the click of a button.
WinScale also lets you use your
digitizer as a mouse so that you don't have to have two hands busy
while you are digitizing. You can plug answers into any Windows
program, print out graphical (color coded) representations of your
takeoffs (complete with notes) and even use the takeoff graphics
in any Windows program (as part of your presentation, for instance).
