Digital takeoff

The digital takeoff system is one of our best solutions for roofers and trades who want to measure directly from a digital plan or image.

All you need is a reliable scale or defined measurement on that plan that you know is correct. In digital takeoff, the first step is calibrating the measurement system using that scale.

So long as you are confident in the accuracy of that measurement, you can essentially measure anything that is an area or a lineal item. The system is designed for roofs, but is also used for cladding, flooring, foundations, and more.

What you can measure

• Multiple areas or roof sections, each with its own pitch.
• Individual components by area, lineal length, or as points for fixed or quantity-based components.

All measurements are saved and auto-calculated to pre-populate the next phase in the quote builder.

What happens next

When you continue from digital takeoff into the quote builder, you will see each roof area, each component you measured, and its associated items. You can edit and adjust if needed, or continue quickly to the next step.

What gets saved

• Your initial image or plan.
• A digital takeoff version of the image showing your lines, measurements, areas, and items overlaid on the plan.
• A clean image without your uploaded image and only your digital takeoff lines / items, so you can clearly see what you measured.

These are useful for printing out and doing site measures, or to clearly define what you actually measured at a later point if you need to reference it.
