One estimating system
Replace disconnected drawings, spreadsheets, and bid files.
Keep each quantity tied to the drawing, communicate the scope without retyping it, and reuse pricing your company has already reviewed instead of rebuilding every job from scratch.
Price consistently
Connect quantities to reusable cost items, formulas, assemblies, markups, taxes, allowances, and scope notes.
Send it and save it
Prepare proposals and workbooks, save the version you issue, and keep proven estimating logic for another scope or project.
- Bring in the current plan set and verify scale.
- Measure only the scope you intend to price and keep each quantity tied to its markup.
- Apply labor, material, equipment, or subcontract costs and review the assumptions.
- Send a clear bid package or proposal, save that version, and keep the proven structure available for reuse.

These examples use known dimensions and sample prices so you can follow the work. They show what Takeoff can organize; your results still depend on the drawings, scope, prices, and judgment you bring to each estimate.
