A takeoff workspace that snaps to what's actually drawn.
Draw areas, linear runs and counts directly on the sheet — in the same tender file as your scope of work, so a quantity and the clause that governs it never end up living in two different tools.
Built on the AutoCAD/PlanSwift input model estimators already have in their hands, plus one thing neither offers: it snaps to the drawing's own vector lines, not just points you've already clicked.
Four things, done properly.
Draw on the sheet
Areas, linear runs and counts, in the same tender file as your scope of work — a quantity and the clause that governs it never drift apart into separate tools.
Snaps to the drawing itself
Content-snap reads the PDF's own vector linework directly, so a shape lands on the real edge instead of an eyeballed guess near it.
Gets the boundary right
A purpose-built boundary-cut tool rewrites the shape's own edge instead of subtracting a separate cutout, so notches and returns actually count toward the perimeter.
Assemblies roll into volume
Split an item by pour, then by thickness within it, and concrete volume computes automatically from each piece's own depth — never one thickness assumed for the whole slab.
The AutoCAD input model, not a new one to learn.
Polar and ortho tracking that locks to 45°/90°, endpoint and midpoint snapping, alignment guides between points you've hovered, and typed exact-distance entry while you draw — the interaction model PlanSwift estimators already have in their hands, muscle memory intact.
We didn't design a new way to draw a rectangle. If you've used PlanSwift, you can sit down and measure without re-learning anything.
Items split the way a slab actually gets poured.
An item can carry sub-items up to two levels deep — the pours it's executed in, and within a pour, the areas at their own thickness. A thickened edge or an equipment pad inside an otherwise uniform slab just states its own depth; everything else inherits from the pour or the assembly above it.
Assemblies carry the floor build-up — thickness, exposure class, curing method, finish — so an item's concrete volume is computed once, correctly, instead of guessed at against a single blended number.
Print exactly the sheets carrying takeoff, at their real size.
Print to scale
Sheets export at their true size and orientation — a 34" ARCH-D drawing comes back as a 34" ARCH-D drawing, not shrunk and rotated onto Letter paper.
CSV export
Every item and sub-item, with both cubic yard and cubic metre columns, ready for a spreadsheet read away from the app.
Same file as the scope
Takeoff lives in the same tender as the extracted scope of work — no separate project to open, no separate login, nothing to keep in sync by hand.
What TH Takeoff doesn't do
No pricing, no cost database
Quantities only, deliberately — SF, LF, EA, m³. No unit rates, no assembly pricing. Where you price the job stays exactly where it already lives.
New, not proven over a decade
PlanSwift and Bluebeam have years of real-world edge cases behind their tooling. TH Takeoff is newer — judge it against your own drawings, not our word.
