01 · The starting point

The work before
the estimate.

Before you can price a job, someone has to read the drawings, identify the items, count quantities and assemble the information. Every unclear detail becomes another question to resolve.

Plan to takeoff prepares that groundwork in a workbook and schedules your team can inspect. Every quantity points back to its source drawing.

02 · How it works

From the drawings
to a workbook you can check.

Choose the scope. Follow the quantities back to the plans. Resolve the questions before using the numbers in an estimate.

03 · What changed

A starting point
for the next bid.

The output includes an estimating workbook, room pages, and door and window schedules. Your team can trace the quantities, resolve the flagged items and supply its own rates.

The business opportunity is in preparing more work for estimating. You still decide the scope, pricing and whether to pursue the job.

Drawing reads need human review. Revenue impact has not been measured.
