Count the plan set once. Use it everywhere.
PieceWrk’s takeoff works against the real sheets (pinned, measured, and scale-calibrated) with an AI pass doing the volume counting. Every quantity keeps a line back to the sheet and the pin it came from.
How it works
Four steps, one record.
- 01
Load the plan set
Drop in the PDF sheets as issued. No exporting, redrawing, or converting them into another format first.
- 02
Calibrate the scale
Set the scale per sheet against a known dimension, so a measurement on sheet A4 means the same thing as one on A7.
- 03
Count and measure
Pin the openings, run the linear measurements, and let the AI pass do the bulk counting so you’re checking work instead of doing it.
- 04
Carry it into the estimate
Quantities land in the jobsite’s master estimate against your own rates, not exported to a spreadsheet and re-typed.
Provenance
Never argue about whether a change was in the original plans.
When a revised plan set lands, PieceWrk knows which set the original numbers came from. A change order raised off the revision cites the specific plan revision it came from, so the conversation is about the document, not about anyone’s memory of a meeting.
Where takeoff tools usually stop
- You get a count, then export it to a spreadsheet to actually price it.
- The estimate lives somewhere else, so a revised sheet means redoing both.
- Nothing connects the number you counted to the number you eventually billed.
In PieceWrk the takeoff is the front of the same record that becomes the estimate, the proposal, the contract, and eventually the invoice.
Bring us a plan set.
The most useful first conversation is walking one of your own plan sets through the takeoff and seeing what the numbers come out at.
