FAQ
What trades can use PDF takeoff software?
Any trade that extracts measurable quantities from plan sheets can use PDF takeoff software. The most common workflows involve lengths, areas, counts, and scale-calibrated checks.
Why does each trade need its own takeoff workflow?
Trades bid different scope. Concrete often depends on volume inputs, drywall depends on board and surface quantities, and electrical depends on runs and symbol counts.
Where should I start?
Start with your trade page if you estimate one specialty, or use the construction and quantity takeoff pages if your bids combine multiple scopes.
