Takeoff Tools Built for Speed and Accuracy

Everything you need to measure construction plans and build an estimate — in one connected platform.

1

15 Measurement Tools

Linear, polyline, area, perimeter, count, diameter, radius, angle, and more. Every tool a professional takeoff requires, accessible from the keyboard or toolbar.

2

AI Room Analysis

Select any room on your plans. AI reads the room label, identifies the drawing type (floor plan, RCP, electrical), and generates a measurement checklist for every scope in that space.

3

Scale Calibration

Choose from architectural, civil, and metric scale presets or draw a custom calibration line. Apply per-page or across all pages in a single click.

4

Snap-to-Point Precision

Automatic snap to endpoints, midpoints, intersections, and PDF geometry. Shift-constrain locks to 45-degree increments for perfectly straight measurements.

5

Copy, Paste & Flip

Duplicate measurements across pages, flip horizontally or vertically, and reposition with drag-and-drop. Measure once and reuse across identical rooms.

6

Instant Estimate Sync

Every measurement automatically creates a priced line item in your estimate. Change a quantity on the plans and the bid updates in real time — no manual entry.

How It Works

From uploaded plans to a fully priced estimate in three steps.

1

Upload Plans

Drag and drop your construction drawings (PDF) into the takeoff viewer. Multi-page documents are supported with a thumbnail navigator for quick page switching.

2

AI Identifies Rooms

Select any area on your plans and AI reads the room label, identifies the drawing type, and builds a scope-specific measurement checklist so you know exactly what to measure.

3

Measure & Estimate

Click checklist items to activate the right tool with the correct spec code pre-assigned. Each measurement flows directly into your estimate as a priced line item.

AI-Powered

AI That Reads Your Plans

Select any room on your construction drawings and AI identifies the space, detects the drawing type, and builds a measurement checklist tailored to that specific scope — so you never forget to measure a finish, fixture, or quantity.

Room Label Detection

AI reads room names and numbers directly from the plans to automatically identify each space and its function.

Drawing Type Classification

Detects whether you are on a floor plan, reflected ceiling plan, electrical layout, or other drawing type for context-aware scope suggestions.

Scope Checklist Generation

Generates a per-room measurement checklist so you know exactly what to measure. Click an item to activate the right tool with the right spec code.
