The tour

Everything between
plans and a winning bid.

Measure everything.
Miss nothing.

Six measurement modes — Linear, Perimeter, Area, Volume, Count, and Dimension — with snap, smart scale detection, and dimension chains. Set the scale once; every takeoff on the sheet stays honest.

Formula evaluator — type 12*8+4 anywhere a quantity goes
Smart scale & dimension chains keep multi-sheet sets consistent
Snap modes and crosshair for precise vertex placement

Quantities become dollars. Instantly.

Takeoff and estimating live in the same window. Arm an assembly from your library, draw, and watch materials, labor, and totals build themselves in the live estimate grid. Then send it to Excel, CSV, or your estimating system — one click, batch export included.

Excel, CSV, and batch export — bid-ready output

AI that counts
so you don't have to.

AI Detect scans the sheet and suggests counts and measurements — fixtures, outlets, doors, whatever repeats. You review, accept, and move on. AI-assisted redaction and measure suggestions come standard, not as a five-figure add-on.

Rev B changed. See exactly where.

Plan Compare overlays two revisions on the live canvas. Diff mode paints removals red and additions blue; Blend mode weighs both revisions with an opacity slider. Auto-align snaps sheets together using text anchors — or drag to align by hand.

A full revision toolset,
not just a pen.

Revision clouds, revision deltas, and a living Revision Log that records who changed what, when — plus stamps, signatures, highlighters, notes, redaction, a reusable Tool Chest, and color legends. When Rev C lands, cloud the changes, log them, and overlay the sheets to prove them.

Revision clouds & deltas — the vocabulary your GCs already speak
Revision Log panel — a change history with an audit trail
Tool Chest — save any markup as a reusable team tool
Pairs with plan-compare overlay to verify every delta

And then some

Small details.
Big afternoons back.

Built-in OCR

Scanned sheets become searchable, selectable text. Find "RCP" across a 200-page set in seconds.

PDF power tools

Compress bloated sets, export archival PDF/A, convert Office docs to PDF — Ghostscript and LibreOffice under the hood.

13 dockable panels

Takeoff, Estimate, Layers, Bookmarks, Markups, Legend, Notes and more — dock, float, or hide every one.

Live, multi-user collaboration

Office and field on the same sheet at the same time, with sync built on CRDTs — no locking, no "who has the file," no emailing PDFs around. Works offline; merges cleanly when you're back.

Your data, properly isolated

Multi-tenant architecture with row-level security from the first migration. Every org, project, and sheet is isolated at the database layer — not by promise, by policy.

iPad in the field. Included.

Install to your iPad's home screen and take the same live plan set to the walk. Apple Pencil markup, touch takeoff, offline protection. Bluebeam retired its iPad app — we're just getting started on ours.

Native. Actually native.

Your Mac is finally invited.

The industry standard never shipped a Mac app. Groundwork Takeoff is genuinely native on both platforms — same features, same files, same live session. Pick the machine you already love.
