## What is Gable Takeoff?

Gable Takeoff is a material takeoff and estimating app for contractors and erectors who build weld-up (red iron) metal buildings. Type in the building and it sizes, counts and prices the material list as you go.

BUILD THE TAKEOFF
- Width, depth, eave height and pitch; gable or single-slope roof
- Lean-tos, gable extensions, open bays, overhangs and wainscot
- Walk, roll-up and sectional doors and windows, placed by wall and bay
- Main frame beams, purlins, girts, end wall columns and eave struts, sized from span charts you can edit for your area's wind and snow
- Roof and wall panels cut to length, plus ridge cap, rake, eave and corner trim, jamb wraps and head trim, by color
- Labor, insulation and concrete slab pricing alongside the steel

SEE IT BEFORE YOU ORDER
- Shaded 3D drawing in your wall, roof, trim, door, wainscot and soffit colors
- Four corner views and four elevations, or orbit, pan and zoom
- 3D steel frame: tap any member for its size and length

SEND IT
- Export the material order list or save it as a PDF, and share it from your phone
- Send your client a quote link; they can tap Accept or Request changes from their phone. Your costs and markups are never shown.
- Unlimited saved estimates, synced between your devices when you sign in with your email

PRO + WEBSITE
- A 3D building configurator page in your branding for your own website. Prospects design their building, see a budget range and send you the lead.
