Remodel estimating and takeoff software
A remodel bid covers many trades in a small space. The quantities are short. The risk is the scope: what stays, what goes, and what a note quietly adds. A missed line on a remodel is paid for by the contractor.

Remodeling and general contracting: common questions
- Can I use Takeoff Tool for remodel takeoffs today?
- Not yet. Remodel 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 remodel 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.
