Telecom
Structured cabling, by drop and by run.
OmniTakeoff reads telecom plans and IDF / MDF schedules to produce a cabling takeoff with horizontal drops, vertical risers, headend racks, and OSP fiber broken out by termination class.

What the takeoff produces
A telecom takeoff that survives review.
Every line item carries the source it came from — sheet, detail, and spec paragraph — so the senior estimator can audit in minutes, not hours.
- Horizontal drops by Cat type and termination class
- Backbone fiber by mode (OM3, OM4, OS2) and strand count
- Pathway: J-hooks, conduit, cable tray linear feet
- Rack + patch panel + switch enumeration from IDF/MDF schedule
- OSP (outside plant) entry, vault, and demarc separately
Telecom features
Built for the way your office actually bids.
IDF / MDF schedule reader
Rack schedules and patch-panel layouts become structured rows.
TIA-class aware
568-A vs 568-B and OM3 vs OM4 selection comes from the spec, not assumed.
Pathway separation
J-hooks, conduit, and cable-tray report as their own scope group so the pathway sub gets a clean RFQ.
Spec-paragraph linking
Each cable, panel, and rack row points at the spec section that called the manufacturer and standard.
Frequently asked
Questions we hear from estimators.
- Do you handle DAS / antenna systems?
- Yes — distributed antenna systems are flagged as a sub-package because brand selection drives ±25% of cost.
