Takeoff & field progress in one tool

From plans to progress — in one tool.

Upload your plans, draw your takeoffs, and track real field progress against them — without juggling five apps and a spreadsheet. The fastest way to turn a set of drawings into measurable scope, live field progress, and a clean BidTrack push.

The problem

Estimating shouldn't end at the bid.

Most takeoff tools stop the moment you win the job. Your scope lives in a PDF, your progress lives on a clipboard, and your billing lives in someone else's head. By the time numbers reach the office, they're already a week old.

Takeoff closes the loop. The same polygons you drew to bid the job become the polygons your crew paints in the field — so quantities, percent complete, and earned value all stay in sync, automatically.

How it works

Three steps. No spreadsheets.

Step 01

Drop your plans in

PDFs split into pages automatically. Calibrate scale once and every polygon you draw is measured in real square feet.

Step 02

Take off the scope

Trace areas, counts, and linear runs with snap-to-grid precision. Each shape becomes a row with auto-calculated quantities you can label, group, and export.

Step 03

Track progress in the field

On a tablet, your crew picks a stage — Form, Pour, Finish, Cure — and paints what's complete. Earned value updates instantly against your stage budgets.

Features

Built for the plan and the jobsite.

📐

Plan-aware takeoffs

Calibrated polygons, counts, and linear measurements right on the drawing. No more scaling rulers or screenshots.

🎯

Stage-based progress

Define stages once (Form, Pour, Finish, whatever your trade needs). Crews mark progress per stage; percent complete and earned value calculate themselves.

📶

Offline-ready field work

Job sites lose signal. Takeoff doesn't lose your work. Progress syncs the moment you're back online.

Who it's for

If you measure it and build it, Takeoff fits.

  • General contractors
    who want their bid scope and field progress to be the same numbers
  • Concrete, drywall, paint, and flooring subs
    who live in square footage and need fast, defensible takeoffs
  • Estimators
    tired of re-tracing the same plan three times for bid, billing, and progress
  • Project managers
    who need percent complete that didn't come from a guess

FAQ

Quick answers.

Do I need to install anything?
No. Takeoff runs in your browser on desktop and tablet. Crews in the field use the same link as the office.
What file types can I upload?
Multi-page PDFs and common image formats. PDFs are split into individual sheets automatically.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Field progress is captured locally and syncs the moment you're back online.
How does it talk to BidTrack?
Through a direct, authenticated push from the project workspace. Configure your BidTrack URL and key once in Settings, then it's a one-click send from any project.
Can I invite my team?
Yes — unlimited team members per company. Admins control access and can remove anyone in one click.
Who owns the data?
You do. Your drawings, takeoffs, and progress are yours; export anytime.

Stop redrawing the same job three times.

Bid it once. Build against it. Bill from it. Takeoff makes the polygon on day one the same polygon you're tracking on day ninety.

Takeoff — measure it. Build it. Track it. Done.
