Blueprint takeoff
Everything, one workflow

The unified takeoff-to-billing toolkit

Every plan gets every feature. The only thing that changes is how many jobs you can run at once.

Upload & render blueprints

Drop a PDF drawing and view it right in the browser. No plugins, no CAD licence.

Calibrate the scale

Set your drawing scale in seconds so every measurement comes out accurate.

Trace & count takeoff

Click to count fittings, trace runs to measure lengths, and aggregate quantities per job.

AI takeoff assistant

Let AI read schedules & legends to extract quantities, detect the drawing scale, and suggest rates from your library — you stay in control.

Estimating matrix

A fast spreadsheet-style grid. Quantity, unit, rate, markup and live totals.

Progress billing ledger

Schedule-of-values billing with retainage, balance to finish and amount due.

One-click PDF export

Send a clean, branded estimate and application for payment to your client.
