Roofing takeoff software

A roofing takeoff is areas, edges and penetrations. The spec names the system and the warranty. The details show how it is built. Takeoff Tool reads both and flags the gaps.

Roofing: common questions

Can I use Takeoff Tool for roofing takeoffs today?
Not yet. Roofing 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 roofing 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.
