Measured plan workspace
Measure PDF plans, preserve the evidence, and keep estimator approval in control.
Construction takeoff software for calibrated PDF area, linear, and count measurements with marked plans, CSV exports, revision tracking, and human approval.
Calibrate the right plan revision
Start from a supported PDF plan, confirm the drawing revision, and calibrate against a known dimension before measuring. BidAgent records the source file hash and revision context so reviewers know which sheet produced each quantity.
- Known-dimension calibration
- Source hash and revision context
- Area, linear, and count modes
Keep estimating judgment visible
Measurements organize quantity evidence; they do not decide waste, labor productivity, assemblies, means and methods, or price. Estimators can annotate assumptions and hold output behind an explicit approval state.
- Preliminary measurement status
- Estimator notes and assumptions
- Human approval gate
Export an auditable package
Create a marked-plan PDF for visual review and a CSV quantity schedule for downstream estimating. Exports carry scale, unit, measurement type, source, and revision information instead of producing an unexplained total.
- Marked-plan PDF
- CSV quantity schedule
- Traceable measurement metadata
Frequently asked questions
What can BidAgent measure on construction plans?
The current takeoff workspace supports calibrated area, linear, and count measurements on supported PDF plans. It does not claim native DWG measurement or automatic interpretation of every drawing symbol.
Are takeoff quantities ready to price automatically?
No. An estimator must verify plan scale, sheet revision, scope boundaries, deductions, waste, assemblies, labor, and commercial assumptions before using quantities in a bid.
What does the takeoff export include?
The workflow can produce a marked-plan PDF and CSV quantity schedule with measurement labels, units, scale, source identity, and review context.
