Takeoffs & Data Import

Measurements off plans. Data into estimates.

Takeoffs aren't a separate tool — they're a tab on your estimate. Upload blueprints, take measurements directly on screen, and hit 'Populate Builder' to convert everything into priced line items.

How takeoffs work in CC

Upload, measure, populate — three steps from blueprint to priced estimate.

1
Upload

Upload your plans

Upload blueprints as PDFs or images directly into the Takeoff tab on your estimate. Multi-page support — navigate between sheets without leaving the workspace.

  • PDF and image upload
  • Multi-page blueprint support
  • Blueprint viewer with zoom and pan
  • Plans linked to the estimate
2
Measure

Take measurements on screen

Calibrate the scale, then draw measurements directly on the blueprint. Areas, lengths, counts. Organize measurements by work area. Each measurement becomes a line item in the Measurements sub-tab.

  • Scale calibration for accuracy
  • Measure areas, lengths, and counts
  • Organize by work area
  • Measurements listed in sub-tab
3
Populate

One click to build your estimate

Hit 'Populate Builder' and every measurement becomes a line item in your estimate's Builder tab. Work packages can be applied. AI can match costs from your database. No re-entry.

  • One-click conversion to estimate line items
  • Work areas carry over
  • Confirmation dialog before populating
  • Overwrite or append options

Blueprint Measurement Tools

  • Work area assignment on import

AI Cost Matching

AI suggests matching materials, labor, and equipment from your cost database for each takeoff line. Confidence scoring shows match quality. You review and confirm every match.
