About Takeoff

Turn an architect's PDF into a CSV in 60 seconds.

We pull measurements straight from the vector geometry of the PDF — no OCR, no AI guessing. Built for estimators who are tired of clicking through 50 pages with a digital ruler.

Bluebeam-compatible CSV
Linear feet, square feet, counts — labelled by trade. Drop straight into your estimating software.
Visual report
HTML report with annotated PDF crops per trade. Open in any browser. Print to share offline.
Shareable link
Send the report URL to a sub or client — they don't need a login to view it.

How it works

  1. 01
    Upload the plan PDF
    Architect's full set or a single sheet. Vector PDFs (AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD) work best.
  2. 02
    Pipeline does the work
    Sheet detection → polyline extraction → trade-aware reconstruction. ~30–60 seconds for ~50 pages.
  3. 03
    Download or share
    Pull the CSV into your bid. Share the report URL. Delete when done.

Who it's for

Estimators
First-pass takeoff in minutes; spend your hours on judgment calls instead of clicking.
GCs reviewing subs
Sanity-check a sub's quote against your own takeoff. Use Training mode to compare two CSVs.
Owners and architects
Quantify changes between revisions. Catch unit-count mismatches before they become a billing dispute.

Always estimator-reviewed. Treat the CSV as a fast first pass, not a final bid. Accuracy numbers come from the 385 N Las Casas reference set (a 54-page residential AutoCAD plan with a Bluebeam-produced takeoff CSV). The pipeline is calibrated on residential AutoCAD drawings — institutional or steel-frame plans will return less coverage until we add a per-architect profile for them.

Privacy

Your PDFs and CSVs stay on your Takeoff server. Nothing is sent to third-party AI services for measurement extraction — the pipeline is a local Python program (pdfplumber + PyMuPDF + shapely + OpenCV). Public report links use unguessable IDs; you control them with the delete button.
