Digital takeoff

All you need is a reliable scale on the drawing. Drop in the structural plan or site layout, calibrate against a known dimension (a grid spacing, a building edge, a stated scale bar), and start measuring. Everything you mark up feeds straight into the matching component.

What you can measure

• Slab areas — polygon for rectangular slabs, irregular polygon for shaped or stepped slabs
• Excavation footprint — same area as the slab, paired with depth to feed a volume component
• Strip footings — lineal tool around the perimeter and across internal walls
• Ground beams — multiple lineal runs gathered into one component
• Curved footings — curved line tool for bays and rounded corners
• Piers, pads, pile positions — count tool for individual foundations
• DPM, waterproofing, gas membrane — area covering the slab footprint plus overlap
• Formwork edges — lineal tool around the perimeter of any pour
• Rebar and mesh — area for mesh, lineal for rebar runs

What happens next

Each measurement is matched to a component and the area, length, volume, or count is filled in for you. The quote builder then applies waste and pricing automatically.

What gets saved

The marked-up plan, the calibration scale, every measurement with its component link, and the quantities. You can come back later and adjust, add new measurements, or swap a component without re-measuring.
