From plans to priced bids. Measure lengths, areas, and counts, stitch sheets, build 3D models, and turn quantities into estimates. Let AI help you move faster.
Turn construction plans into measured quantities and priced bids on your Mac. Construction Takeoff brings PDF takeoff, 3D review, Earth measurements and estimating into one workspace.
MEASURE YOUR PLANS
Import PDFs or images, calibrate the scale, and measure lengths, areas, counts and supported pipe runs. Keep measurements, groups, labels and callouts with their source sheets. Use saved roll plots to review connected plan sheets in a continuous layout.
PUT THE SITE IN CONTEXT
Measure on Apple Maps, with feet and miles shown together for long distances. Locate from Plan finds address or coordinate candidates in the first three PDF pages, including scanned sheets, and lets you review the location before placing a pin. Align a plan sheet to the map with control points, inspect an independent check point, adjust opacity and undo a saved placement. Plan overlays support local horizontal alignment; they do not model terrain elevations.
REVIEW IN 3D
Inspect supported model geometry and dimensions alongside your 2D takeoffs. Edit supported elements, save design versions and compare alternatives while keeping the source plans close at hand.
BUILD THE ESTIMATE
Start from reviewed takeoffs or an owner schedule. Use your own labor, material and equipment rates, review production and indirect costs, compare owner quantities with takeoff evidence, and export bid and quantity reports. Refresh quantities while preserving pricing inputs for review. Your Company codebooks start empty so you control the rates.
ORGANIZE QUOTES AND FOLLOW-UPS
Track supplier and subcontractor requests, dated replies, pricing and follow-up dates. Compare quotes by linked work scope and retain original vendor rates with source references. Optional email handoff uses your configured assistant and provider after native review; automatic mailbox synchronization is not included.
KEEP YOUR WORK WITH YOU
Projects are stored locally. Portable project folders can include source assets, estimates, resource libraries and estimate history, and reopen as a separate copy. Recovery checkpoints and recoverable deletion help protect existing work. Portable transfers exclude AI settings and global Company libraries, and are not yet available for estimates referencing external documents. Share exported pricing only with intended recipients.
OPTIONAL AI CONNECTIONS
Connect a compatible AI client through the local MCP companion. Manual takeoff, modeling and estimating need no AI account. The optional companion requires Python 3.10+; some PDF tools also require PyMuPDF. Your client may send data to its provider. AI Changes lets you require review or disable live control; supported edits can apply directly when review is off. Disabling live control does not revoke a separate client's saved-file access.
Review scales, geometry, alignment, scope and prices before relying on quantities or submitting a bid. Complete automatic reconstruction of arbitrary drawings is not included. Apple Maps and location search require internet access.

It does the job
CM Ron
I’m a professional estimator and normally do my take offs using Bluebeam on my PC. I recently picked up a MacBook Neo, and was looking for a native take off application, and decided to check this out. It can scale, measure, mark ups. Still getting used to the interface and controls. I’ll still be using Bluebeam on my PC, but this is perfect for on the go quick takeoffs. For $25 bucks it’s not Bluebeam, but it does the job.
Finally!!

Finally, a plan reader and takeoff app for Mac OS! Works well and the developer has been improving it along the way. Ive been waiting a long time for something like this.
I want this to work
StephenGl
It’s a really nice looking platform. Froze on me when I tried to use it many times. Its unresponsive. Maybe in a couple updates it will work as it should.
Developer Response
We are working hard to get this working ASAP. I will be in touch as soon as the next version goes live and am here to assist with anything you need. Thanks for the review.
Buggy…
Herbino12
As a Mac user, I have been searching for a native application to do takeoffs for years. I was very excited when I came across this one, but disappointed once I started using it. It was very buggy, and continues to freeze just about every time I try to do an area takeoff. I have to close the window and get back in, starting all over again. Not worth the $ until they can make it more reliable.
Developer Response
We will get these bugs ironed out and I will send you another download for a free download once the next version goes live. Thanks for the review.
This update brings a more connected takeoff and estimating workspace:
• Expanded AI tools for importing plans, navigating sheets, and placing takeoff stamps.
• Improved bid workflows, with clearer comparisons between schedule and takeoff quantities.
• Inline quantity editing and scope-based bid totals.
• Expanded calculator formulas and takeoff labeling.
• More compact review panels and refined interface details.
