Measurements are normally done with digital plans using a mouse and video screen. Digital plan sets are linked to the stored .PDF files on hard drives in directories. Pad digitizers with styluses can used for traditional paper blueprints. Measurements are stored in an SQL databases in conditions that are organized by plan sheet, in plan sets, by user defined descriptions and price scenarios. The condition forms contain menus and user modifiable labels that allow users to select the products installed to meet contract specifications. Selected from master database of prefabricated forms, each multi-tab condition form which can be user modified by checkboxes and dropdown boxes has image layers, height, width, depth assignments and stores six or more measurement units such as linear feet, square feet or cubic yards. The program displays the takeoff measurements data, page subtotals, subtotals by name and the total calculated quantities. Conditions can assigned a repeating multiplier.

Intergrated with the measurement software, the Edge system prices contract proposals based on labor types, material specifications, overhead and mark up. By selecting conditions with identical key fields groups of conditons can modified simultaneously by users to meet contract specifications. Conditions can be adjusted interactively. Conditions contain menus for labor, specific craft trades, and hourly rates; and material costs for the specific products. The master database can include "Smart Rates" that automatically adjust installation methods slower or faster to match the assigned height of the condition. The Edge has Standard reports and custom reports for detailed labor, materials and total prices with breakdowns by zones or groups of conditions.
