The service estimates concrete quantities by element, reinforcing steel quantities, and concrete masonry unit block and grout counts. Results are shown on the project drawings with calculation details so users can review how quantities were derived. The workflow checks drawing scale against dimensions on the plans and supports estimating and preliminary material planning. Takeoffs are estimates, not bids, and should be reviewed against project documents before materials are ordered. Access is free, with one takeoff per email address every 24 hours and up to three per company email domain each day; no account is required.
