TAKEOFF TOOL · DRAWING-BASED REVIEW
Review takeoffs against the drawing.
Start directly from construction drawings. Takeoff Tool identifies supported quantities for estimator review, then prepares marked pages and data exports with the source in view.
The structural framing sheet shown here is an illustration, not a measured result. Ask about current support for your drawing type and trade.

Automation first. Review second.
Takeoff Tool analyzes supported drawing information, then shows estimators candidate items and open questions to check or correct.
- 01 / INTAKE
Load the drawings.
Bring a construction drawing set directly into the review workspace. Validate scale and keep the source pages available.
- 02 / ANALYZE
Find takeoff information.
Detect candidate items and drawing evidence. Put ambiguous labels or missing details in a review queue.
- 03 / REVIEW
Correct the takeoff.
Review and edit item identity, count or measurement and scope. Keep NEW, EXISTING and UNKNOWN visible where relevant.
- 04 / OUTPUT
Carry the basis forward.
Prepare supported quantities, marked drawings and XLSX, CSV or JSON exports linked to source evidence. Weight and tonnage are included where supported.
REVIEW IS PART OF THE WORKFLOW
A number is useful when you can check its basis.
Each supported result should lead back to its source drawing and the assumptions behind it. Unclear scale, labels or scope stay visible for a person to resolve.

TWO WAYS TO START
Takeoff Tool works on its own.
Start from drawings.
Open a construction drawing set in Takeoff Tool and move from drawing review to supported quantities and exports.
Start from an organized bid.
The planned Send to Takeoff connection will carry Bid Tool's drawing and project basis forward.
Explore Bid ToolTakeoff Tool does not price work or approve bids. Outputs depend on drawing quality, scale and supported details.
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Where the tools fit.
Which tool should I start with?
Start with Bid Tool to turn a folder of downloaded bid files into a prepared job folder, with an estimate template filled where supported and a bid-list row. Start with Takeoff Tool to review supported quantities against construction drawings.
What do I give Bid Tool, and what comes back?
Download the bid invitation and project files, collect them under a folder name and bring that folder into Bid Tool. The intended workflow analyzes the contents, fills what it can in the estimate template, creates the bid-list row and outputs the prepared job folder. Confirm current workflow and template support in a demo.
Can I use either tool on its own?
Yes. Bid Tool starts with a bid package and prepares an organized project for estimator review. Takeoff Tool starts directly from construction drawings. A connected handoff is planned for teams using both.
What does Takeoff Tool cover?
Coverage depends on the trade, drawing quality, scale and type of measurement. The framing sheet is an illustrative example, not proof of complete trade coverage. Ask to see your required drawing conditions and outputs demonstrated; full-job automated takeoff is still being validated.
Does ScopeStead price or approve a bid?
No. The tools prepare document and takeoff information. Estimators review the basis, correct uncertainties, apply pricing and approve what leaves their team. The fictional sample estimate leaves quantities and prices for the estimator to enter.
How do access and pricing work?
Request a demo to discuss current availability and scope. Public pricing, deployment and support terms have not been finalized. There is no self-service sign-up or purchase today.
Can I inspect an example before contacting you?
Yes. The Alder Works sample package includes 13 files you can preview, print and download without signing up. It is a fictional, authored example—not a customer deployment or a live automated result.
What happens to my drawings and pricing?
This website has no drawing upload. Please discuss how project files would be handled before sharing customer drawings or pricing.
