Areas, lengths and numbers of items come from the plans instead of the calculator. Estimating is faster, and you have more time for prices and risks.

Is this for you?

  • You regularly prepare quotes or tenders on the basis of plans.
  • The plans are available as PDF or CAD files, not just on paper.
  • Taking off quantities by hand takes up a large part of your estimating time.
First step today

Take a simple floor plan from a completed project, without client and address, and use the template below to have floor and wall areas determined. Recalculate two rooms yourself.

How to go about it

  1. Define the plans and quantities needed
  2. Collect plans with their revision in one place
  3. Have quantities determined from the plans
  4. Check unusual quantities against the plan
  5. Transfer quantities to the bill of quantities
  6. Monitor deviations from final billing
