SureCount Takeoff Software

SureCount is digital takeoff software from Conest Software Systems for electrical, low voltage, datacom, and solar contractors. It counts drawing symbols automatically, measures conduit and cable runs, compares revised drawings, and sends completed takeoff directly into IntelliBid electrical estimating software.

Save time and resources with onscreen takeoff. SureCount digital takeoff software will dramatically improve the way you estimate and increase your ability to take off more projects in less time.

Count Symbols Automatically

Symbols can be counted manually or by using SureCount’s patented auto count feature. SureCount is the only solution that will automatically count all symbol types simultaneously. This saves you significant time in the overall estimating process.

Measure with Ease

Point and click between pathways and SureCount draws the line in the color and style chosen with each segment and total lengths displayed. It’s easy to lay out branch or feeder runs with elbows and boxes, as well as vertical rises or drops on the drawing or between floors.

Select Areas for Better Customization

Separate areas on a drawing, such as two halves of a floor or an area with unique installation factors, for counts and measurements within the designated area for project requirements, such as itemized pricing or alternate pricing.

Compare Revised Drawings Instantly

Addenda and project changes create revised drawings. Those changes are quickly and easily identified with SureCount’s Overlay feature that displays new items in green and items that were deleted from the original drawing in red.

Direct Takeoff to IntelliBid Estimating

Direct takeoff from SureCount to IntelliBid improves accuracy while saving you valuable takeoff time. Estimating tasks such as assigning material and labor can now be done during takeoff in SureCount. The organization of drawings and phases is also synchronized with IntelliBid, giving you an optimized workflow when organizing the project by phases, device types, or other categories.

SureCount: Frequently Asked Questions

SureCount is digital takeoff software from Conest Software Systems for electrical, low voltage, datacom, and solar contractors. It counts drawing symbols automatically, measures conduit and cable runs, compares revised drawings with an overlay, and sends completed takeoff directly into IntelliBid electrical estimating software.

Yes. SureCount is the only solution that automatically counts all symbol types simultaneously, rather than requiring you to run a separate pass for each symbol. Symbols can also be counted manually where a drawing calls for judgment.

SureCount is designed to work as part of the Conest estimating workflow, with takeoff feeding directly into IntelliBid so material and labor assignment carries through to the priced estimate. If you are evaluating takeoff on its own, request a demo and we will walk through how it would fit your current process.

The Overlay feature compares a revised drawing against the original and highlights the differences — new items in green and deleted items in red — so changes are identified immediately instead of by re-counting the sheet.

Yes. Point and click between pathways and SureCount draws the run in your chosen color and style, displaying segment and total lengths. Branch and feeder runs can include elbows and boxes, and vertical rises or drops can be laid out on the drawing or between floors.
