Takeoff that lands in the estimate

The job pressure

Qty lives in a separate digitizer — retyping into the estimate invites drift.

On the job

Construction takeoff software should not end in a CSV you retype into the estimate. On EstiLumina, calibration, assembly presets, and depth or height factors live on the same job that will later hold budget, RFQ, and pay applications.

Open a PDF or image sheet, set scale once, and draw lengths, areas, or counts with trade assemblies that stick on the next sheet. When you still edit quantities offline, Excel export and import keep the same line ids — so the push into estimating does not invent a second set of numbers.

You confirm every quantity. Find similar can propose count, length, or area — you confirm before it is a quantity. That honesty matters on bid day: the quantity you priced is the quantity the job will run.

How it works

1. 1

   Open a PDF or image sheet and calibrate scale.

2. 2

   Measure length, area, or count. Find similar can propose repeats — you confirm.

3. 3

   Set depth, height, thickness, or pitch factor on the takeoff.

4. 4

   Push to estimate — or Excel export/import by id when editing qtys offline.

What you get

• 2D PDF/image takeoff with calibration
• Assembly trade presets that stick on the next draw
• Depth / height / thickness / pitch factor on quantities
• Find similar for count, length, and area — you confirm; nothing writes until you do
• Push to estimate plus Excel qty file round-trip (export/import)
• Tool suggestions pick a measuring tool — they never draw the sheet

Why teams subscribe

• Quantities land in the estimate without retyping
• Assembly presets stick so the next sheet starts faster
• Excel qty export/import keeps offline edits on the same ids

Honest boundaries

• Not automatic takeoff that draws for you.
• Not a CAD or BIM modeling engine — 2D PDF/image takeoff only.
