Glazing takeoff software

A glazing takeoff is frame elevations by type, with a glass type in every opening. The window schedule and the elevations give the sizes. The errors come from glass types and safety glazing that the legend and the elevations show differently.

Glass and glazing: common questions

Can I use Takeoff Tool for glazing takeoffs today?
Not yet. Glazing 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 glazing 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.
