Takeoff
Measure quantities off drawings and turn them into priced estimate lines.
Takeoff
A takeoff is the act of measuring quantities off a drawing — areas, lengths, counts. Takeoffs measure how much; assemblies turn those measurements into priced lines. Doing the two together is the fastest path from a PDF drawing to a priced estimate.
