Your way through.
Some days start with a blank takeoff. Others start with a quantity that needs checking. Keep the drawing in view, whichever part of the job is yours.
For the estimatorBuild a takeoff
Build a takeoff
one sheet at a time.
Start with the source, establish a reliable scale, and make the scope explicit before you move to pricing.
- Upload a PDF, JPG, or PNG drawing and select the sheet.
- Calibrate against a known distance and approve the scale.
- Measure or inspect items, label them, and include the intended scope.
- Review quantities, then export a draft or trusted takeoff.
For the reviewerAsk where the

number came from.
The useful question is not just “what is the total?” It is “which drawing, which measurement, and which review decision produced it?”
- Keep the source sheet and review panel open together.
- Inspect geometry and the page-specific scale.
- Check inclusion, labels, and material assignments.
- Approve the items you have reviewed; leave unresolved work provisional.
For material planningMove from geometry
Move from geometry
to the bill.
A measured area and a concrete volume are different quantities. Make the conversion and the rate unit visible, so the cost has a basis you can check.
- Create materials with the units you need.
- Select drawing items and assign measured quantities or an explicit depth.
- Add compatible rates and inspect any unpriced rows.
- Review BOQ sources and export the result.
