EstiMate
Takeoff and bidding in one tool

Take off a plan. Walk away with a bid.

Upload a PDF drawing set, measure it on the plans, and turn those quantities straight into a priced estimate, a scope of work, an invoice and a QuickBooks sync — without leaving the app or re-keying a thing.

No credit card required. Upload a PDF plan set and measure in minutes.

From a PDF plan set to a priced bid

A takeoff is a means to an end — the number you hand the client. In EstiMate the measurement and the money live in the same job.

1

Upload & prep the set

Drop in your PDF drawing set. Sheets are prepped automatically so you can start measuring right away — no manual page wrangling.

2

Take off the plans

Calibrate scale, then drop count pins and measure linear feet and square-foot areas — grouped into zones, with snap, ortho and hotkeys.

3

Push to a priced estimate

Turn quantities into line items with your labor rates, crews, assemblies and margins. Watch pricing update live as you go.

4

Bill & sync

Generate the scope of work, send an invoice with AIA-style progress billing and retainage, then sync it to QuickBooks Online.

Why contractors run their bids on EstiMate

The takeoff, the estimate and the invoice stop being three tools and three re-keys. They become one job.

Takeoff on your plans

Cloud PDF takeoff with count pins, measured linear and area quantities, zones, snap, ortho and hotkeys — quantities auto-sync as you draw.

AI counts, you approve

AI device counting never auto-fires — it shows a cost preview first and lands flagged for your review. A free offline Auto Count handles symbols at no cost.

Real estimating depth

Push takeoffs into priced estimates with labor rates, crews, assemblies and margins. Parse the spec book into CSI sections and auto-build a scope of work.

Billing & QuickBooks

Invoice with AIA-style progress billing and retainage, track change orders and AR, and sync it all to QuickBooks Online. Excel/CSV import and export included.

Wiring up in-building wireless? EstiMate also includes a dedicated RF/DAS design workspace for antenna layout and cable routing.

Simple, honest pricing

Takeoff, priced estimating, scope of work, invoicing and QuickBooks sync are included — not add-ons.

Common questions

Is this a takeoff tool or an estimating tool?

Both, and that's the point. You measure on the plans — counts, linear lengths, areas and zones — then push those quantities into a priced estimate with your labor rates, assemblies and margins. There's no export-and-re-import trip to a second app.

Will the AI counting run up a bill without me knowing?

No. Every AI run shows a cost preview before it fires, so vision never spends without your go-ahead. Counts land flagged for your review, and there's a free, offline Auto Count for symbols that costs nothing to run.

Do I need a separate app to invoice the job?

No. The same job carries from takeoff to a priced bid to an invoice — including AIA-style progress billing, retainage and change orders — and syncs to QuickBooks Online.
