Construction takeoff software

Measure directly from your drawings.Turn quantities into estimates.

Stop measuring from printed drawings and retyping quantities into spreadsheets. Buildiante lets your team measure directly from project drawings and carry those quantities into the estimating workflow.

Measure on the drawing

Capture quantities where the work actually appears instead of maintaining a separate measurement sheet.

Keep quantities organized

Keep measurements tied to the project and the items they represent.

Carry them into estimating

Move measured quantities into your BOQ instead of retyping the same information.

The old workflow

Every manual handoff creates another opportunity for error.

Printed drawings, scale rulers, handwritten notes and spreadsheets create a chain of disconnected information before the estimate is even priced.

Measure from printed drawings
Record quantities separately
Retype measurements into spreadsheets
Manually reconcile revisions
Lose the connection between drawing and estimate
With Buildiante

Your quantity becomes part of the project record.

Measurements stay connected to the drawing and can continue into the estimating workflow without another manual handoff.

Measure areas and lengths directly on screen
Keep measurements organized by project
Capture quantities against construction items
Reduce duplicate data entry
Continue directly into BOQ and cost estimating
How it works

From drawing to priced BOQ without the re-entry.

Quantity takeoff is the first step in the Buildiante project workflow — not a disconnected tool sitting beside your estimating process.

01

Open the drawing

Upload a PDF drawing or work from your project documents without leaving the platform.

02

Measure on screen

Capture areas, lengths, counts, and other quantities directly against the drawing.

03

Build your takeoff

Organize measurements into meaningful construction items and quantities.

04

Send it to estimating

Turn measured quantities into BOQ lines instead of manually re-entering them.

What's included

Everything your team needs to take off quantities.

Upload a PDF drawing and measure areas, lengths, and counts directly on it — no printing, no scale ruler.
3D BIM models are supported too: select elements and pull quantities straight off the model.
Send finished measurements straight into a BOQ as priced line items — no re-typing a number you just measured.
Every measurement stays linked back to the drawing or model it came from.
A takeoff measurement doesn't stop at a number on screen — it becomes a real line in the BOQ you price next. Tiers are available on the pricing page.
Who it's for

Built for teams doing real construction estimating.

Estimators who currently print a PDF, measure it with a scale ruler (or a standalone takeoff tool with no link to the estimate), then re-type every number into the BOQ by hand.

Replaces

Move away from disconnected takeoff workflows.

A printed drawing and a physical scale ruler, or a takeoff tool that has never heard of your BOQ — plus the manual re-typing step between "I measured it" and "it's a priced line item."

Takeoff feeds directly into the next step of the loop:

BOQ / Cost Estimation
Quantity takeoff

Measure it once.Price it once.

Start with your drawings and finish with a quantity that is ready for estimating.
