From a construction plan to a reviewable estimate.
Watch Takeoff import and calibrate a plan, measure scope, apply visible pricing logic, communicate a clear estimate, and preserve the setup for similar work. Every estimate should make the next one better.

The tour uses current Takeoff screens from measured trade and photo-assisted projects. Pause anywhere: the source, quantity, pricing context, and estimating controls stay visible.
Plan → quantity → estimate
One connected estimating chain.
Verify scale, measure the work, carry quantities into visible assemblies and costs, review the number, and keep the same setup ready for a similar scope.

The full workflow
What happens between opening the plan and sending the bid.
Import and verify. Open a PDF, image, or floorplan and confirm the sheet and revision.
Calibrate. Use a reliable labeled dimension and keep the scale evidence with the project.
Measure. Create counts, lengths, areas, and quantities that remain tied to their source.
Price and review. Apply items, assemblies, waste, labor, overhead, profit, and visible assumptions.
Communicate and reuse. Export the estimate, save the reviewed bid, and preserve proven setup for the next scope or project.
The drywall case study exposes the source and the math.
Four measured partition runs become wall faces, ceilings, framing, insulation, eight priced estimate lines, a reviewable scope, and a worked bid. The plan, quantities, formulas, sample prices, exclusions, and assumptions are available on one page.

Know the boundaries
What Takeoff is—and what it is not.
The fastest self-serve evaluation is an honest one.
Takeoff is
A local Windows takeoff and estimating system.
Counts, lengths, areas, calibrated plans, and photos.
Cost items, assemblies, estimates, saved bids, and reports.
Local project storage and offline core work after installation.
A one-time v1 license for one named user on two Windows PCs.
Takeoff is not
A hosted multiuser preconstruction platform.
No realtime cloud co-editing or browser workspace.
No automatic AI takeoff or supplier-price guarantee.
No replacement for drawing, field, trade, code, or supplier review.
No Mac, mobile, or enterprise account-administration product.
