What You Get Back
Not a vague estimate. Not a rough count. A contractor-ready Excel spreadsheet organized by category, location, and trade — the same format you'd hand to a supplier or use in your bid.
- Material counts by component type, room, and floor
- Panel schedules, wire footage by gauge, conduit runs with sizing
- Flagged items highlighted — you decide on anything the AI isn't certain about

Real Questions From Contractors
We've heard every objection. Here's the honest answer to each one.
Will it catch everything, or will I miss items?
Accuracy runs 95%+ on standard commercial drawings. Anything the AI isn't confident about gets flagged — with the exact page and location. You review flagged items manually. Most contractors find the spot-check takes 5-10 minutes and catches less than 5% edge cases.
- 95%+ accuracy on standard commercial plans
- Flagged items show exact page and location for manual review
What if my plans are old, scanned, or hand-drawn?
We've processed 47-page scanned permit sets, faded drawings from the 80s, and hand-drawn TI plans. Accuracy may be slightly lower on degraded scans — the AI flags anything it's uncertain about rather than guessing. You get honest results, not inflated claims.
- Works on scanned, hand-drawn, and CAD exports
- Lower confidence items flagged, not silently guessed
How long does it actually take?
About 15 minutes for a typical 30-page commercial set. Larger plan sets — 80-100 pages — run 25-40 minutes. You'll get an email when results are ready. Upload before lunch, have counts before you leave the office.
- 30 pages: ~15 minutes
- Email notification when complete — no waiting at the screen
What exactly do I get back?
An Excel spreadsheet (or CSV) organized by trade category — circuits, devices, wire footage by gauge, conduit runs with sizing. The same format you'd hand to a supplier or import into your estimating software. Plus a flagged items list with page references.
- Excel, CSV, or JSON — your choice
- Organized by category, ready to import or price
How do I get started?
Create a free account with one Google click and we’ll show you a real commercial plan set alongside the AI-generated takeoff from it. See the output format, accuracy, and how flagged items work — before uploading any of your own plans. No credit card required.
- One Google click — no credit card required
- See a real example plan and takeoff output immediately
I already use PlanSwift / Bluebeam. Will this replace it?
No — and we're not trying to. TakeoffBuilder handles the counting. Your existing software handles pricing, markup, and workflow. We export to the formats your software imports. Think of it as a counting layer on top of what you already use.
- Exports to PlanSwift, Accubid, and Excel
- Complements your existing tools — doesn't replace them
