Estimating Edge recently launched VECTOR takeoff, a web-based solution that extracts 3D data and speeds up the takeoff process by 40% - 70%. Unlike any other solution, VECTOR automates the takeoff process and can be used to estimate smaller jobs, or for complex jobs, it works seamlessly with The EDGE Estimator – the professional-grade solution.

Estimating Edge announced that the company has been granted U.S. Patent No. 11,321,500 for Smart Takeoff Estimation Systems and Methods for VECTOR, a web-based 2-D quantity solution that extracts data from 3-D Models.
