For the owner who signs the bid
Takeoff Tool gives a specialty contractor a checked takeoff on every bid, a record of each decision, and company rules that do not leave when an estimator does.
The problem
You sign bids you did not take off. You find out about a missed item when the job is already yours.
Your best estimator's rules are in their head. A new estimator learns them one mistake at a time.
What it does
- 01
Checks every bid the same way
Each packet is read against the spec and the drawings, whoever is at the desk. - 02
Holds a job a company rule rejects
For example, a labor agreement your company does not bid under. - 03
Records each decision
Who approved, fixed or excluded each line, and when. - 04
Keeps the house rules
The Lessons page lists them. They run on every job. - 05
Costs a flat fee
One price per seat per month. No charge per takeoff.
What you get
- A record behind every number on a bid you sign.
- Rules that stay with the company.
- A fixed software cost, however many bids come in.
What it does not do
Said plainly, so you can plan around it.
- It does not replace your estimator.
- It does not promise a win rate or a time saving. We do not publish numbers we cannot show.
Common questions
- What does it cost?
- $2,500 per seat per month. It is a flat fee. There is no charge per takeoff and no charge per page.
- Does it replace my estimator?
- No. It does the reading and the first count, and it puts the questions in front of your estimator.
- Who can see our bid documents?
- Only people signed in to your company's account, and our team when we support you. Another company cannot open your jobs.
