Home > On Screen Takeoff (OST) Support > Full Version Estimating

There are two versions that OST can run in, View Mode or Full Mode. View Mode comes free with your access to the OPR. Full Mode is a full estimating program that On Center Software, the maker of OST, sells to those who wish to do in depth electronic takeoff. If you would like to demo the Full version of the software, please contact On Center Software at http://www.oncenter.com/contact/ or 866.627.6246.

While in View Mode, you can do basic takeoff including linear and area measurements, count items, zoom, rotate and print images.

Full Mode will allow estimators to do this and much more!

• View color-coded drawings to identify conditions and their quantities.

• Takeoff the typical area one time, and by design, extend the quantities to all the appropriate individual areas with the typical areas feature.
  
• Save multiple hours of exhausting plan review with the overlay feature. When comparing two versions of a drawing, deleted items are in red and added items are in blue.

• Eliminate an entire manual takeoff process. As you highlight marked images, precise quantities are automatically measured. “If it’s colored, it’s counted.”
  
• Instantly calculate up to three different quantities per condition, chosen from multiple formulas.
  
• Streamline project setup by creating typical takeoff conditions called styles. Combine styles into sets to quickly drop-in multiple conditions to your bid.
  
• Produce bids in Quick Bid with the On-Screen Takeoff interactive link to increase your productivity and eliminate manual entry errors while instantly pricing your bid as you complete your takeoff.
  
• Create an export link directly with your Microsoft Excel templates through On-Screen Takeoff.
