Trace quantities straight onto your blueprints

Open any drawing sheet, calibrate the scale, then draw linear runs, outline areas, and drop counts — all rendered live over the PDF. Holes and cut-outs are subtracted automatically.

  • Per-page scale calibration
  • Area cut-outs & hole subtraction
  • Colour-coded, category-grouped overlays

Everything you need to quote faster

Purpose-built for civil and landscaping take-offs — no spreadsheets, no guesswork.

Precise Measurements

Linear, area, and count take-offs directly on your PDF plans with pixel-perfect accuracy.

Multi-Page PDFs

Navigate every sheet of your drawings. Each page has its own calibrated scale.

Scale Calibration

Set scale by ratio or by clicking two known points on the plan — it just works.

Organised Totals

Items grouped by category with automatic combined totals across multiple measurements.

Quick Item Library

Pre-built item lists for Concrete, Asphalt, Storm, Sanitary, Roads and more.

Fast & Focused

No bloat. Built for civil estimators who need to get quotes out the door quickly.

From plan to quote in four steps

A workflow that mirrors how estimators already work — just faster.

1

Upload your plans

Drag in any PDF drawing — multi-sheet site plans, civil drawings, landscape layouts.

2

Calibrate the scale

Click two known points or pick a ratio. Each sheet keeps its own real-world scale.

3

Measure & label

Trace linear, area and count take-offs. Group by category and name each item.

4

Export & quote

Print marked-up sheets or export a CSV of quantities — ready for your estimate.

Rolled blueprints

Every sheet, to scale

Multi-page PDFs with per-page calibration.

Drafting tools on blueprint

Precision by design

Calibrate from two points or pick a ratio.

Cross-Section Designer

Design typical cross-sections in minutes

Lay out roads, lanes, sidewalks, curbs and boulevards on a scaled grid. Place centerlines, gutter lines and property lines, draw slopes with live grade calculations, and drop in utilities — all with automatic butt-up so elements never overlap.

  • Centerline, gutter line & property line references with elevation
  • Slopes with live grade % and length, curb & utility placement
  • Lanes, sidewalks & boulevards that butt up automatically
  • Print-ready, to-scale cross-sections for your estimates
