Digital takeoff

Upload any scaled floor plan, elevation, or site drawing and measure directly on screen. Set a calibration reference on a known measurement and you can trace wall runs, slab areas, cladding sheets, framing, openings, and counts without manual scaling. Construction is the umbrella trade, so every measurement tool is available.

All you need is a reliable scale or defined measurement on that plan that you know is correct. In digital takeoff, the first step is calibrating the measurement system using that scale. Tip: use the longest wall run, boundary line, or room dimension for calibration - these are usually the most reliable measurements on a plan.

What you can measure

• Line - a single framing run, wall plate, fascia, gutter, beam, edge strip.
• Multi-Line - several runs of the same material added together when it appears in multiple places.
• Curved Line - curved framing, fascia, decorative trim, radius beams.
• Point - windows, doors, fixtures, set-out marks, beams, columns.
• Area - slabs, cladding, roofing, decking, wall faces - rectangular, irregular, or multi-section.

All measurements are saved and auto-calculated to pre-populate the next phase in the quote builder.

What happens next

When you continue from digital takeoff into the quote builder, you will see each area you created, each component you measured, and its associated items. You can edit and adjust if needed, or continue quickly to the next step.

What gets saved

• Your initial floor plan or drawing.
• A digital takeoff version of the image showing your lines, measurements, areas, and items overlaid on the plan.
• A clean image without your uploaded image and only your digital takeoff lines / items, so you can clearly see what you measured.

These are useful for job records, client documentation, or to clearly define exactly what was quoted at a later point if you need to reference it.
