Features/Takeoffs
Plan takeoffs
Set a plan’s scale, measure lengths, areas and counts with waste, and send the quantities straight into the quote, so what you measure is what you price.
How it works
Features
Click two points, type the real distance, and the sheet measures right in both directions.
Linear feet for trim and walls, square feet for floors and roofs, and counts for fixtures, outlets and doors. Counts don’t need a scale.
Set a waste percent on each item. The quote gets the quantity with waste, rounded up to a whole unit.
Give a length item a height and it turns into wall square feet, for drywall, paint or tile.
Link an item to a Price Book item and its quantity sets that item on the quote, at your own price.
An item is the same on every sheet, so a floor plan and its details add up to one total.
Measured more? Add to quote again: the same lines update, and the prices, names and words you typed stay.
Takeoff marks stay with your team. The quote link, the PDF, the print and the client portal leave them out.
Undo and redo across the whole takeoff, and every change saves itself a moment after you make it.
Who uses it
Measure the plan set, check the totals and send the quantities to the quote before the client meeting.
Square feet per room with waste, and baseboard and transitions in linear feet, on the same quote.
Areas and edge lengths from the plans, with waste per item, for roofing, siding and gutters.
Count outlets, fixtures and drains, and measure runs in linear feet, on the same sheet.

Questions
Software for measuring quantities from plans: lengths, areas and counts. In ECHOPS you set each sheet’s scale, measure on screen, and the totals with waste go straight into the quote, so nothing is typed twice.
Pick Set scale, click two points you know the distance between, such as the ends of a dimension line, and type the feet and inches. ECHOPS shows the scale the way the plan writes it. Each sheet keeps its own scale.
Yes. Add the PDF to the quote’s drawings and each sheet becomes its own page with its own scale. Pictures and photos of plans work too.
Yes. Add to quote shows each item, its quantity with waste and the line it will add or update. On Confirm, items linked to the Price Book set that item’s quantity; the rest become lines with their unit for you to price. Sending again updates the same lines.
No. Takeoff marks are kept apart from the markups you share. The quote link, the PDF, the printed quote and the client portal leave them out.
Lengths in linear feet, areas in square feet and counts of each. Add a waste percent to any item, and give a length a height to get wall square feet.
Yes. Takeoffs measure whatever you price by length, area or count: roof areas, floor and tile square feet, pipe and wire runs, fixtures and outlets. They’re part of our construction estimating software.
Measuring works on a computer or tablet. On a phone you can open the takeoff, see the totals and edit the item list.
