On-screen construction takeoff software

On-screen takeoff that lives where your numbers do

Measure lengths, areas and counts straight off your construction drawings, then push those quantities into your estimate without rekeying a single figure.

Rolls up to Concrete supply & place on 03-100 in the Northside Apartments estimate — 386 m³ @ $415/m³.

The ground slab measured straight on sheet A-101 of the Northside Apartments drawing set — 1,544.16 m² at 250 mm depth gives 386.04 m³, and the quantity lands directly on the 03-100 estimate line (Concrete supply & place — 386 m³ @ $415/m³) with no re-keying.

Measure once, price from the same numbers

No separate takeoff package

Measure on the same drawings your project already runs on, with no exporting, re-importing or licensing a second tool.

Quantities feed the estimate

Measured quantities roll up and flow straight into your estimate, so you price the exact quantities you measured.

Scale you can trust

Per-page scale is detected automatically from the drawing, and a manual calibration always wins over the suggestion.

Everything takeoff needs, on the drawing

From the first sheet to quantities landing in the estimate.

Roll up into the estimate

Measured quantities flow into the estimate automatically, with no rekeying between measuring and pricing.

Takeoff is the front end of Win to Pay

Quantities measured here roll straight up into your estimate, where they're priced into a competitive bid. From there the same numbers carry forward through procurement, award and budget, so the quantity you measured off the drawing is the quantity you priced, bought and tracked.

Frequently asked questions

No. Takeoff runs inside BuildPass on your uploaded PDF drawings, so measuring, scaling and organising all happen in the one place your estimate lives.

BuildPass suggests a scale per page from the drawing's geometry and title block. You can accept it or calibrate manually against a dimension you know, and a manual calibration always wins over the automatic suggestion.

Yes. Import from CSV or XLSX, including value-only lump items. Units such as m² and m³ are decoded correctly, and duplicate or empty item keys are rejected on commit.

They roll up and feed your estimate automatically, so there's no manual rekeying between measuring and pricing.
