Take off jobs by unit, component, or parametric approaches. Powerful “job spec sheet” capability allows estimators to choose materials and construction techniques up front, then ProjectPAK automatically configures products and calculates cost as they are added to the estimate. Our pre-built residential and commercial casework databases contain hundreds of parametric cabinets and cabinet sub-assemblies that significantly reduces set-up. After doing the take-off, ProjectPAK generates professional bids and other documents directly from the estimate. This saves time and reduces errors, especially when doing revisions and change orders.
