Spec score 8.6 #5 of 23 in Takeoff Software

What it is

Intuitive Takeoff is a Windows application for measuring lengths, areas and counts from construction plans, then pricing work with saved rates. Its 2D workspace groups and aligns sheets, assembles pages by match line and compares revisions with overlays. Nineteen markup types include clouds, callouts, dimensions, stamps and signatures. Exports include annotated PDF, Excel and CSV, with branded quotes and invoices available. The Utilities & Civil module models connected pipe networks and calculates elevations, depth, slope and trench quantities. Smart Plan Detection names sheets, classifies pages, parses indexes and detects schedule tables locally. The Advanced plan adds a Claude connector that can build takeoff items and reference schedule data, but not draw pipe runs, edit placed-run hydraulics or set trench profiles. Plans render locally without uploads. Standard costs $25 a month; Advanced costs $50 a month.
