AU 2009 "Quantity Takeoffs Made Easy" with Autodesk QTO 2010

At AU 2009, David Haynes, AIA, LEED AP/Director of AEC Services and Glynnis Patterson, N.C.A.R.B./Director of Services presented "Quantity Takeoffs Made Easy", a 90-minute lab for architects, builders, and other construction professionals of all expertise levels who were interested in the estimating takeoff abilities of Autodesk Quantity Takeoff (QTO) 2010. Autodesk QTO is used to move from a static Excel-based estimating system to a digital based system.
