TakeoffQuote Docs
The whole loop — open a plan, set the scale, measure, price, export — one page per topic. Start with the 60-second quick start; the rest is there when a sheet gets weird.
Quick start — first takeoff in 60 seconds Open a plan, set the scale, measure a room, and export — a 60-second walkthrough of your first takeoff in TakeoffQuote, in the browser, with nothing uploaded. Opening plans — PDFs, images, and zip sets What TakeoffQuote can open (PDF, images, zip plan sets), how the sheet gallery works, and how tabs and side-by-side viewing handle a multi-sheet bid set — all locally in your browser. Scales — set it first, verify in ten seconds How TakeoffQuote reads the scale off the sheet ('Plan says — use it'), how to calibrate from a printed dimension, what the sanity bar shows, and why mixed-scale detail sheets need a manual check. Measuring — the seven tools TakeoffQuote's measuring tools: One-Click Area, Area, Rectangle, Linear, Surface Area, Count, and Select — plus deducts, the zone check, snapping, and the exact click interactions for each. Conditions — what you're measuring Conditions in TakeoffQuote: the named line items every measurement commits into, with per-condition waste %, colors and hatch, and the H (height) and T (thickness) fields that turn runs into square feet. Quote builder — from measurements to a priced .xlsx How TakeoffQuote turns measured conditions into a client-ready quote: bind each condition to a trade assembly, set geometry and unit prices, watch the live total, and export a two-tab .xlsx (Quote + Basis). Exports — CSV, Excel, JSON, marked set, quote Every way to get a takeoff out of TakeoffQuote — CSV for pricing sheets, an Excel workbook, structured JSON, a distribution-ready marked-set PDF, and the priced quote .xlsx — and what each one is for. Privacy & your data — your work stays local Where TakeoffQuote keeps your plans and takeoffs (IndexedDB and localStorage in your browser), what happens when you close the tab or clear site data, what stays on your machine, and the one thing that doesn't.
