Plumbing takeoff software

A plumbing takeoff starts with the spec: which pipe, which fixtures, which valves. Then the plans say how many. Takeoff Tool reads both and stops where they disagree.

Plumbing: common questions

Can I use Takeoff Tool for plumbing takeoffs today?
Not yet. Plumbing 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 plumbing 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.
