What you can do with zzTakeoff.
Start with digital measurement, then connect quantities to shared scopes, reusable assemblies and reports.
Measure plans for any trade
Use area, linear, segment and count tools on PDF drawings, with snapping, orthogonal drawing and area cutouts.
Work together live
More than one estimator can work in the same project and takeoff. See updates as they happen and agree who owns each scope.
Prepare plan sets
AI-assisted page naming and scale setup can reduce drawing preparation. Check names and scale against the issued plans before measuring.
Build reusable scopes
Share templates and assemblies with your team, then add formulas and pricing for material, labour and plant quantities.
Review and report
Use takeoff and item reports to check quantities and costs. Export to Excel or PDF for estimating and bid handover.
Extend your setup
Dev Tools support custom reports, dashboards and plugins. MCP can connect compatible AI tools where available in your plan.
See it in action

Builders & head contractors
Measure across trades, organise bid packages and keep a shared view of each scope.
Concrete
Take off slabs, footings and walls, then reuse assemblies and pricing on the next job.
Walls & finishes
Measure walls, ceilings and floor finishes while keeping product and waste assumptions visible.
Electrical
Count fixtures and symbols, measure runs and revisit quantities when the drawings change.
Find your fit
Is zzTakeoff
right for your team?
A useful fit for estimating teams, quantity surveyors and trade contractors who want collaborative takeoff without tying work to one desktop.
Let’s discuss your workflowA few useful answers
About zzTakeoff.
Can you help if we already use zzTakeoff?
Yes. We support existing users as well as new customers. Tell us about your current setup and what you’d like to improve.
Can several estimators work at the same time?
Yes. zzTakeoff supports simultaneous work in the same project and takeoff. Agree scope ownership and review responsibilities before dividing the job.
Can our PlanSwift setup move across unchanged?
Not necessarily. Import support does not mean every formula or assembly transfers unchanged. See our migration checklist and test a sample first.
Does AI replace checking the drawings?
No. Keep a review step for page names, scale, measured quantities and scope. We can help your team establish a repeatable checking process.
Can you help us move from another takeoff tool?
Yes. We can review how you currently measure and organise jobs, then discuss a practical transition and training plan.
How do we know if cloud takeoff suits our team?
We start with your drawings, team structure and current workflow. A demonstration can help you assess collaboration and takeoff features before choosing software.
