Takeoff + estimating · Windows

Keep your estimating knowledge.
Own the system that holds it.

Takeoff turns plans into measured quantities, consistent estimates, and clear customer-ready outputs—then keeps proven assemblies, formulas, costs, and scope ready for the next project. The Windows license is paid once instead of renewed every month or year.

What the one-time license includes

The estimating workflow comes first.

Takeoff connects marked drawings and measured quantities to estimates, saved bid versions, quote comparisons, reports, backups, and portable project packages. The number is easier to explain now, and the work behind it remains useful later.

A future major version may be a separate paid upgrade. The version you buy keeps working under its license. Takeoff is Windows-only and shares complete project packages instead of offering hosted realtime collaboration.

Choose the operating model

A subscription can still be the right answer.

The honest choice depends on how your team works, not only the first-year price.

Takeoff fits when

You want each estimate to help with the next.

  • One estimator works primarily from a Windows PC.
  • You want each quantity tied to the drawing and estimate.
  • You need clear outputs for customers, reviewers, and the field.
  • You want proven assemblies, costs, and formulas available for the next project without a recurring seat fee.

A hosted subscription may fit when

You need centralized collaboration.

  • Many people must edit the same project in realtime.
  • Browser, mobile, or cross-platform access is mandatory.
  • Central account administration and cloud document sharing outweigh local ownership.
  • Your organization needs a vendor's enterprise integrations or service package.

Compare beyond the headline price

Test your real bid before switching.

Use the same representative plan and scope in every product you evaluate. Record setup time, calibration confidence, quantity traceability, estimate coverage, export quality, support needs, and total price for the number of users you actually have.

  1. Import the same PDF and confirm page handling and scale.
  2. Measure one count, length, area, and volume from dimensions you know.
  3. Price a representative assembly with waste, labor, and markup.
  4. Save the reviewed estimate and export the customer-facing output.
  5. Confirm backup, handoff, update, cancellation, and refund terms.
