FAQ: Redline Takeoff

My Redline Takeoff structure doesn't match my OnCost™ Estimate. What should I do?

If your Redline Takeoff structure does not match your OnCost Estimate, you must first delete all of the existing Takeoff Categories by right-clicking on each individual Category and choosing "Delete" from the dropdown menu. Once you have deleted all of the existing Takeoff Categories, ConstructionOnline will automatically prompt you to re-select your Takeoff structure. To ensure your Takeoff structure matches your existing project estimate, choose the option to "Start from Existing Project Estimate". This will pull the Category > Subcategory structure that currently exists within your estimate for you to build off on in Redline Takeoff.
