Millwork, casework and cabinet takeoff software
A millwork takeoff comes from the interior elevations. Each elevation shows the cabinets, the tops and the trim for one wall. The errors come from elevations, the finish legend and the spec naming different materials or grades.

Millwork and casework: common questions
- Can I use Takeoff Tool for millwork and casework takeoffs today?
- Not yet. Millwork and casework 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 millwork and casework 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.
