AccuScale vs PlanMeasure Takeoff

AccuScale turns your iPhone or iPad into a professional measurement tool for construction plans, architectural blueprints, and job-site photos. Whether you're a contractor verifying room dimensions, an architect reviewing drawings on-site, or a designer estimating material quantities — AccuScale delivers precise real-world measurements in seconds. No tape measure. No scale bar math. No guessing. HOW IT WORKS: 1. OPEN — Import any JPG, PNG, or multi-page PDF blueprint from your files, or photograph a physical plan with your camera. 2. CALIBRATE — Tap two points on any element with a known length (a door, a wall, a standard feature). Enter the real measurement and AccuScale locks in your scale. 3. MEASURE — Tap any two points on the plan. AccuScale instantly calculates and displays the true real-world distance. 4. ANNOTATE & EXPORT — Label each measurement, color-code by area or trade, and export a finished image with all lines and dimensions drawn directly on the plan. KEY FEATURES: MULTI-FORMAT SUPPORT Open JPGs, PNGs, and multi-page PDFs. Navigate page by page through full blueprint sets. PRECISION CALIBRATION Calibrate against any known reference on the plan — no printed scale required. A clear CALIBRATED badge confirms you're ready to measure. INSTANT REAL-WORLD MEASUREMENTS Tap two points, get the answer. Every measurement is calculated automatically from your calibration. FOUR UNIT MODES Switch between feet, inches, meters, and centimetres at any time. All existing measurements convert automatically. COLOR-CODED ANNOTATIONS Organize measurements by room, trade, or category using 8+ color options and custom text labels. FULL PDF BLUEPRINT SUPPORT Open multi-page PDF documents and measure on any page. Pinch to zoom, pan to position. ANNOTATED EXPORT Export a composite image of your plan with all measurement lines and labels burned in — ready for reports, emails, or team sharing. WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE All calculations happen on your device. No account, no cloud, no internet connection required. BUILT FOR: • General contractors and subcontractors • Architects and structural engineers • Interior designers and space planners • Property managers and real estate professionals • Quantity surveyors and estimators • Anyone measuring from plan documents Download AccuScale and start measuring smarter.

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.
