Measure plans, organize quantities, and build an estimate on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. PlanMeasure Takeoff opens blueprint PDFs and plan images, measures lengths, areas, and counts, and helps you price the work. Plans and project data are processed locally; no account or plan upload is required. CHECK THE SCALE • Calibrate each sheet from a known dimension. • Use architectural, engineering, and metric PDF scale presets. • Check the scale against a second known dimension and see its provenance and verification status. • Review missing-scale warnings before export. A printed scale alone cannot confirm that a scanned or resized plan is accurate. ORGANIZE BY ROOM OR FLOOR • Label selected items with a room, floor, zone, or other location. • Search those labels and keep them in CSV exports. • See location subtotals in text and PDF reports, with length, area, and count quantities kept separate. • Items missing a page or required scale are identified and excluded from location subtotals. • Locations are assigned manually; the app does not automatically divide a drawing into rooms. MEASURE AND PRICE • Trace lengths and areas, count fixtures, and enter field quantities. • Snap to traced endpoints, midpoints, intersections, or the grid, with optional angle constraints and a touch loupe. • Apply unit prices, waste, and slack; reuse personal cost kits. • Convert estimated quantities into whole-package material orders using your package coverage. • Review package counts, overage, trade totals, and missing-price checks. • See purchase estimates and extra whole-package costs in the editor and reports. These use your entered unit rate, including any labor in that rate, and exclude tax and delivery. Existing bid totals remain unchanged. • Calculate contingency, overhead, profit, and a final bid total. KEEP AND SHARE YOUR WORK • Undo and redo changes across the estimating workflow. • Restore automatic draft checkpoints after an interrupted session. • Export a portable project backup with its plan pages and restore it as a separate copy on a compatible device. • Export CSV, marked-up plans, and PDF bid reports. • Try the included demo before importing your own plan. For framing, flooring, drywall, painting, roofing, concrete, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and general estimating. Measurements depend on the source drawing, calibration, and your inputs. Verify dimensions, scope, prices, and exported quantities before ordering materials or submitting a bid. • Preview measured quantities before applying a known-dimension scale change, including the affected item count and reminders when units change.
