Material quantities to help you estimate the job.
You send the PDF drawings, we do the measuring. Human-measured quantities for builders, tradespeople and small contractors who would rather spend their time pricing and doing the work than scaling plans.

What the service covers
Practical quantities for preparing your own quotation.
Easi Takeoff measures construction drawings and returns a branded PDF takeoff, with marked-up drawings where they help show what has been measured.
If you need affordable help estimating materials from building plans, we take the repetitive measuring work off your desk. You stay in control of labour rates, material rates, waste allowances, quotation terms and the final commercial decisions.
Available measurements
What we can measure
The exact scope is agreed after the drawings have been reviewed.
Lengths
Partitions, skirting, cornice, fascia, guttering, kerbs, trims and other linear items shown clearly on the drawings.
Counts
Doors, windows, fittings, boards, blocks, bricks or other repeated items where the drawing and specification provide enough information.
Volumes
Concrete and similar volume measurements can be calculated where the relevant depth or thickness is stated on the drawings or supplied by the customer.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you help me estimate materials from building plans?
Yes. We measure the agreed areas, lengths, counts and volumes from your PDF drawings and return clear quantities for your estimate. You add your own material and labour rates, check specifications and include any waste or ordering allowances. The fixed price for our measuring work is confirmed before you pay.
Is this a full quantity surveying service?
No. Easi Takeoff provides drawing measurement and quantity takeoff support. It does not provide cost planning, contract administration, structural advice, design advice or statutory advice.
What drawings do you accept?
PDF construction drawings are preferred. They should include a readable scale or clear dimensions. Revised drawing numbers should be identified where possible.
Can you calculate concrete quantities?
Yes, where the relevant depth or thickness is shown on the drawings or supplied by you. Without a depth, we can provide the measurable plan area but not a reliable volume.
How quickly will I receive the takeoff?
The completion date is confirmed with the fixed quotation. Straightforward takeoffs are normally targeted within three working days after approval and payment.
Are waste factors included?
Only where specifically agreed. The takeoff will state whether quantities are measured net, gross or include a stated allowance.
Can homeowners use the service?
Yes. The results can help a homeowner understand measurable quantities, but contractors and suppliers should still check specifications, allowances and ordering requirements.
What if I don’t like the price?
Then don’t go ahead. Uploading drawings is free, and you only pay once you’ve accepted the fixed quotation. There’s nothing to pay if you decide not to proceed.
How do you make sure the measurements are right?
I check the scale against the drawing first. On PDFs with proper linework, measuring points can snap onto wall lines and corners, and the measurements are marked up so you can see what was included. See how your takeoff is measured.
Can I do my own takeoffs instead?
If you’d rather measure the drawings yourself, SiteFeed Takeoff is the iPad estimating and takeoff app behind the measurements shown here. It’s coming to the App Store soon.
Prefer to do it yourself?
SiteFeed Takeoff for iPad, coming soon
SiteFeed Takeoff is the iPad estimating and takeoff app behind the measurements shown here. Open a PDF, set the scale and measure areas, lengths, counts and volumes yourself. It’s coming to the App Store soon.
