Digital takeoff

Upload any scaled floor plan or site drawing and measure directly on screen. Set a calibration reference on a known measurement and you can trace ceilings, lofts, walls, floors, edge seals, and counts without manual scaling.

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 edge run for tape, expanding foam, or sealing bead along the perimeter of an area.
• Multi-Line - several edge runs added together where the same product is used in multiple locations.
• Curved Line - curved edges, bay windows, or rounded loft trim that won't trace as a straight line.
• Point - individual counted items like downlight covers, fire collars, or access hatches.
• Area - ceiling, floor, loft, or wall areas - rectangular, irregular, or multi-room. Use this for batts, rolls, blown fill, and vapour barrier.

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.
