Doors, frames and hardware takeoff software

A door takeoff starts and ends with the door schedule. Each opening has a door, a frame, a rating and a hardware set. The errors come from the schedule, the plans and the hardware sets not matching.

Doors, frames and hardware: common questions

Can I use Takeoff Tool for door and hardware takeoffs today?
Not yet. Door and hardware 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 door and hardware 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.
