From plan sheets to a priced quote — in your browser.
TakeoffQuote is construction takeoff software that runs entirely in your browser — on a Mac, a PC, or an iPad. Measuring is free and unlimited. The paid part is the last mile nobody else does: trade assemblies that turn linear feet into cubic yards, your own unit prices, and a grouped .xlsx quote you can send with the bid.

How it works
| Step | What happens | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Open your plans | Drag a PDF, image, or .zip plan set into the browser. Sheet numbers and drawing scales are read automatically from the title block. Nothing uploads — plans stay on your machine. | Free |
| 2 · Measure | Areas, rectangles, linears, counts, surface areas, deductions — with snapping, zone checks, and per-sheet scale memory. | Free |
| 3 · Quote | Bind each condition to a trade assembly (concrete: LF × width × depth ÷ 27 = CY, waste presets included), apply your unit prices, and export a grouped, priced .xlsx — Quote tab for the client, Basis tab for the audit trail. | Pro · $15/mo |
Why estimators switch
| The problem | What TakeoffQuote does about it |
|---|---|
| Bluebeam discontinued Revu for Mac in 2023 — Mac estimators are stuck with Parallels lag or a second PC | Runs natively in Safari or Chrome on macOS. No VM, no Windows license, no lag. |
| Mainstream estimating suites run $200–$500 per month | Free to measure; $15/month for the full takeoff-to-quote pipeline. That's less than one hour of billable estimating time. |
| Every bid ends in Excel cleanup — exporting CSV, splitting columns, re-keying prices | Quantities land already grouped by trade with your unit prices applied. The export is the quote. |
| Bid sets are confidential | Plans are processed in your browser and never touch our servers. Close the tab and they're gone. |
Frequently asked questions
Is TakeoffQuote really free for takeoff?
Yes. Measuring — areas, linears, counts, deductions, unlimited sheets and projects — is free with no watermark and no sign-up. We charge for what happens after measurement: trade assemblies, unit pricing, and quote export.
Does it work on a Mac?
Yes — that's the point. TakeoffQuote runs in the browser, so macOS, Windows, Linux, and iPadOS are all first-class. See takeoff software for Mac.
Do my drawings get uploaded?
No. PDF rendering, measurement, and quote generation all run locally in your browser. Bid documents never leave your machine.
What file formats can I export?
Priced quotes export as .xlsx (Quote + Basis tabs). Raw quantities export as CSV, Excel, or JSON. Marked-up plan sets export as PDF.
