A calibrated takeoff can record measured runs, surface areas and repeated-item counts, then export an auditable quantity schedule before product coverage, waste and price are applied.

1 · Plan sheets

Load image or PDF sheets locally

PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF. Files stay in this browser session; saved geometry does not contain the uploaded source file.

2 · Calibration

Set scale from a known dimension

Enter the real distance, choose Calibrate, then click the two endpoints of that dimension on the plan.

Not calibrated

3 · Measure

Trace length, area or count repeated items

Every measurement remains editable evidence. Product coverage, waste, pitch, structural rules and installation decisions are intentionally downstream.

Calibrated project takeoff drawingLoad a plan sheet, calibrate a known distance and trace project lengths or areas.

Upload a plan or use the blank grid, then calibrate before measuring.

Measured takeoff

Totals stay separated by length, area and count. Count points do not require scale calibration.
