Import of the drawing formats you receive: PDF, DWG, CAD or BIM
Area, length, volume and count measurements with scale detection
Assemblies and cost databases for your trade
Revision comparison when drawings change
Export to your estimating or bid software
Cloud collaboration for teams working on the same job

How to use this ranking

Start with the top 10, then narrow down with Best takeoff software by category further down the page, which ranks the same feature inside each kind of software. Read the reviews on each profile, and ask vendors to show you the points above with your own data before you decide.

Best takeoff software by category

The same feature, ranked inside each kind of software. 9 categories in all; these 1 have 5 or more products.

Top Takeoff Software5

How is this list of the top takeoff software worked out?

TrustList ranks every product that offers takeoff, whichever software category it is filed under, by its rating, how many reviews it has and how complete its profile is. No one can pay for a position in this list. Where few products have reviews yet, profile completeness carries more weight, so treat the order as a shortlist to check rather than a verdict.

Is the top-ranked product the best takeoff software for everyone?

No. A small team, a growing business and a large enterprise need different things from takeoff software. Use the checklist above and the rankings by category to find the best fit, and give most weight to reviews from companies like yours.

How often does the ranking change?

The order is recalculated as new reviews arrive and vendors update their profiles, so the list you see is the current one.
