Concrete takeoff software

A concrete takeoff follows the schedules: footings, piers, walls and slabs. The structural sheets give the sizes and the reinforcing. The errors come from the general notes, the spec and the details not agreeing on mix, bar or finish.

Concrete: common questions

Can I use Takeoff Tool for concrete takeoffs today?
Not yet. Concrete is a founding trade. We build each trade with working estimators, so the tool learns how the trade really bids. Founding contractors use it free for three months while we build it with them.
What do you need from a founding concrete contractor?
An hour or two of your estimator's time, screen shared, while they do a real takeoff. Plus a set of past bid packets with the finished takeoffs. We use them to check the tool against work you already trust.
What does it cost after the founding period?
The standard price is $2,500 per seat per month. It is a flat fee. There is no charge per takeoff.
