Takeoffs

Estimate with confidence.

Takeoffs help you get accurate quantities faster and keep them connected to your estimate. Upload plans, measure what you need, have a conversation with the built-in AI for faster results, and move forward without juggling tools or re-entering numbers.

Made for contractors who own the estimating process

We designed our Takeoffs for small- to mid-sized contractors and remodelers who handle estimating themselves. Owners, project managers, and lead estimators can cut down on time spent estimating without sacrificing accuracy—or adding more tools to manage.

Spend less time measuring and re-checking quantities

Manual takeoffs slow down your whole estimating process. Measuring plans by hand and updating spreadsheets increases friction and takes time away from pricing and decision-making.

Reduce missed or inflated numbers before pricing begins

Transferring numbers between systems raises the risk of errors. Takeoffs put the power in your hands, so you can catch mistakes before they turn into costly bids.

Share clearer information with subcontractors and vendors

When quantities flow directly from plans to estimates, everyone works from the same numbers. No confusion from disconnected data—just accurate information that keeps your team aligned.

Digital Takeoffs

Measure plans directly within your estimating workflow. Keep everything in one place so quantities are accurate and estimating stays fast without switching between tools.

Our Takeoffs follow a simple, familiar workflow that keeps you focused. For owners, project managers, and lead estimators who handle their own work, having a streamlined process means less time wrestling with tools and more time making profitable decisions.

Upload project plans and measure on screen

Upload plans and measure quantities right where you work. No separate software to manage, no jumping between tools. Get accurate measurements without the friction of disconnected systems slowing you down.
