AGTEK software

AGTEK software

AGTEK software

(OP)
The company I work for is deciding to purchase AGTEK grading takeoff and modeling software.  What is everyones positive and negative feedback on this software?  Is the most popular available, or does anyone recommend other vendors?  We are a grading contractor and will use it use for bid takeoffs, GPS modeling for earthwork equipment, and timely billing quantities.  How much planning and management time do you spend with this software?

RE: AGTEK software

I had never used Agtek but I do a lot of dirt take off with Quest Earthwork. what I like is that is very easy to use, the new version 6.6 alow you to import drawings from autocad very easy. Also it has a stake mode that you can use it with your total station but you need a data collector pogram.
In terms of money, to do an electronic dirt take off is the way to go you have a 180000cy job and you will spend a month working, with this programs you can spend a day and you are done and more acurate than anything

RE: AGTEK software

Agtek is the best software around for initial takeoff purposes before the job is bid. My experience is with Insite and Agtek. Agtek beats InSite by many lenghts as good as Insite is. Good Decision on buying Agtek. As fas as post bid operations are concerned, I am aware that you can use it. I am not aware just how. Once you learn the In's and Outs you will be able to determine what the strengths and limitations are.
