HOW IT WORKS

From plan file to a reviewed takeoff.

A repeatable estimating process starts with the right inputs. Set up your firm, bring in a supported plan and build quantities you can check.

01

Bring in the right plan.

Start with an ASCII DXF export, a supported vector PDF, or KML/KMZ linework. Check the revision, units and file quality before measuring.

02

Set the scale. Check the linework.

Use the drawing units or a known sheet dimension to calibrate. Review imported layers and spot-check a length and area against the plan.

03

Develop your quantities.

Review takeoff results, then apply the material and earthwork assumptions your project needs. Keep design quantities separate from field observations.

04

Review with your team.

Use your firm workspace to organise plans and the bid package. Check revisions, exclusions and assumptions before the estimate leaves your desk.

Getting started with your firm

Create an account, set up or join a firm, and choose a plan in Firm settings. A subscription gives your workspace access to the project tools. The public pricing page shows project and seat allowances before you register.
