Digital takeoff

Upload any scaled floor plan, site drawing, or services layout and measure directly on screen. Set a calibration reference on a known measurement and you can trace pipe runs, mark fixture positions, and calculate areas 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 a full wall run, room dimension, or slab edge for calibration - these are usually the most reliable measurements on a floor plan.

What you can measure

• Pipe runs - use the Line tool for a single run, or Multi-Line for multiple runs that are summed together.
• Curved pipe routes - use the Curved Line tool for bends, sweeps, or pipes following a curved wall or slab edge.
• Fixture and fitting positions - use the Point tool for taps, valves, toilets, basins, hot water units, and any item priced per unit.
• Areas - trace a room or zone for components priced by floor area (e.g. waterproofing membrane, drainage mat).

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, compliance documentation, or to clearly define exactly what was quoted if you need to reference it later.
