Square Takeoff

Square Takeoff is a modern construction estimating and takeoff platform that replaces manual blueprint measurements with a fast, accurate digital process. Designed for contractors, estimators, and builders, it enables users to perform takeoffs directly online, eliminating the need for printed drawings and physical calculations.

The workflow begins by uploading a blueprint or project image in supported formats. Users can then calibrate the scale either manually or with preset dimensions. Once scaled, the software allows precise measurement of areas, linear footage, and item counts. This automation cuts down what once took hours into minutes, allowing teams to produce estimates with greater accuracy and speed.

Square Takeoff also functions as a bid management system. Projects are displayed in a calendar-style view, making it easy to track timelines, deadlines, and estimator assignments. Projects and bids can be filtered by company or individual, ensuring better organization across multiple users.

For added flexibility, data from takeoffs can be exported into Excel or HTML, supporting integration into existing estimating and financial workflows. The system also includes customizable templates, formulas for calculating materials, and a parts database that adapts to each company’s specific needs.

Being fully cloud-based, Square Takeoff ensures accessibility from any device without the risk of lost files. Estimators and contractors can work from the office, the field, or home with the same consistent access to project data. Collaboration is simplified since all updates are stored centrally in the cloud.

Square Takeoff is priced on a subscription basis, averaging around $249 per month, and includes unlimited jobs and storage. A free trial is offered to help users test the system before committing. Customer support is provided through phone, email, live chat, and a searchable knowledge base.

By digitizing takeoffs and centralizing bid management, Square Takeoff empowers construction teams to save time, reduce errors, and increase win rates on bids—making it a valuable tool for small contractors and large firms alike.
