Easy Takeoffs

What Is Easy Takeoffs?

Easy Takeoffs — a browser-based construction takeoff platform — is built for contractors working from PDF plans. It supports linear runs, areas, counts, and other quantity measurements, with tools for organizing takeoffs into color-coded groups and sub-groups. The platform can also search plans for text and symbols across multiple sheets (including repeated labels and plan elements), helping users locate items more efficiently. This allows teams to complete and organize takeoffs before sharing them through read-only links or exporting annotated PDFs and CSV files for downstream estimating workflows.

What Is Easy Takeoff Best For?

Easy Takeoffs' noteworthy feature is its line and polyline measurement tool. It can measure individual straight dimensions or connect multiple segments into a single polyline for piping, conduit, curbing, and fencing — while calculating the total length directly from PDF plans. This makes it particularly suitable for trade contractors working with irregular or multi-segment plan layouts. Otherwise, estimators may need to calculate each section separately — but with Easy Takeoffs, they can quantify continuous runs as a single measurement.

How Much Does Easy Takeoffs Cost?

Easy Takeoffs pricing starts at $39/month for Pro plan. The vendor offers a 14-day free trial before users move to a paid plan. Additional costs may be incurred for:

• Setup And Onboarding Fee: $150–$300 one-time for assisted setup or migration; self-service onboarding may have no additional cost
• Additional User Seats: Around $399/user/year for each extra seat added beyond the included user allowance
• Premium AI And Takeoff Add-Ons: Around $10–$20/month for additional AI-assisted or takeoff functionality, if offered separately
• Priority Implementation And Support: Around $100–$300/month for higher-tier implementation assistance or priority service, where available

Disclaimer: The pricing is subject to change.

How Does Easy Takeoffs Work?

Use Easy Takeoffs features to complete a construction takeoff as follows:

• Create an Easy Takeoffs account, sign in through a supported browser, and open a project for the plan set you want to measure
• Upload the PDF construction plans so the relevant architectural, structural, civil, or MEP sheets are available within the project
• Set the scale for each sheet by confirming the detected scale, applying scales across the plan set, or entering a scale manually where needed
• Measure the required scope using line, polyline, area, rectangle, count, or other applicable takeoff tools directly on the drawings
• Organize measurements into groups by trade, floor, material, scope, or bid package so related quantities remain separated
• Review the running totals and measurements, isolate individual groups where necessary, and correct or move measurements before finalizing the takeoff
• Export the completed quantities as a CSV for estimating and material calculations or as an annotated PDF showing measurements on the original plans

Who Is Easy Takeoffs For?

The software caters to users across the following industries and trades:

Easy Takeoffs Use Cases

Our analysis of Easy Takeoffs capabilities has helped us identify a few scenarios where it can support contractors and estimating teams:

General Contractors Verifying Subcontractor Bids

A subcontractor bid with incorrect quantities can lead to scope gaps. Easy Takeoffs can help here by measuring quantities from the same plan set and separating them by trade. Estimators can then compare these totals with subcontractor figures to spot differences.

Electrical Estimators Quantifying Conduit Runs And Devices

An electrical estimator can use this software to complete material takeoffs from commercial electrical drawings. The platform traces conduit and wire routes while recording receptacles, switches, panels, and lighting fixtures by system or circuit, which, as indicated by user feedback, can help keep linear footage and device quantities organized before pricing begins.

Roofing Estimators Preparing Material Orders

For a roofing estimator working with plan-view roof drawings, the platform can measure roof planes as well as ridges, valleys, and eaves. Its takeoff tools can also account for slope and waste when calculating roofing quantities. Users note that this setup can make it easier to translate drawings into material quantities for shingle, metal, or flat-roof projects.

Electrical Contractors Building A Bill Of Materials

Electrical contractors moving from marked-up plans to material ordering may need to organize measured conduit footage and device counts by circuit, floor, or system. Easy Takeoffs organizes these quantities by separate power, lighting, low-voltage, or fire-alarm scopes. As a result, contractors can use these quantities directly for pricing and material ordering.

Is Easy Takeoffs Right For You?

Easy Takeoffs may suit individual contractors and smaller estimating operations that expect their takeoff workload to grow over time. Its Pro plan includes unlimited projects, documents, and storage, which can be useful for firms handling multiple plan sets without having to manage usage caps.

From a security perspective, the vendor uses TLS/HTTPS encryption for data in transit, database Row Level Security, password hashing, authenticated file uploads, rate limiting, and Stripe-based payment processing. Recent updates add support for 500 MB PDF uploads, nested groups, and takeoff summaries in PDF exports.
