Upload your plan sheets and our AI reads the scale, analyzes the profile view, counts every structure, and flags anything missing from your takeoff — before your bid goes out the door.
Utility estimators are bidding under pressure, working from complex plan sets, and expected to catch every detail. Most takeoff tools just measure — they do not think.
A single forgotten manhole, inlet, or catch basin can add $3,000 to $8,000 in unplanned costs. On a competitive bid that wipes out your margin entirely.
Scaling pipe lengths visually off a plan view is unreliable. Profile station math is the only accurate method — and most tools do not use it.
When you are bidding 8 to 15 jobs a month you cannot spend 6 hours per takeoff double checking every quantity. Something always gets missed.
Takeoff Check Pro does not just highlight symbols — it reads your scale bar, analyzes your profile view, counts from station numbers, and flags what is missing.
Finds and reads the scale bar on every sheet automatically. It never assumes a scale — it only measures from what is actually drawn on the plan.
Reads the station numbers along the profile view to calculate exact pipe lengths. The same station math your best estimator does by hand.
Counts every manhole, inlet, and catch basin from the profile view, then cross-confirms each one against the plan view so nothing is double counted.
Flags anything shown on the plans but missing from your takeoff. Every alert tells you the exact sheet and station where it was found.
Drop in PDF plan sheets, exported CAD files, scanned drawings, or photos taken on site. The AI handles any format.
The AI finds the scale, identifies the profile view, reads station numbers, and detects every structure and pipe run on each sheet.
See exactly what was found and where. Every item shows its sheet reference and station location. Edit, confirm, or add items as needed.
Export your finished takeoff as a clean Excel spreadsheet, PDF report, or CSV. Ready to drop directly into your bid form.
Most takeoff software was built for building construction and adapted for sitework. We built this from the ground up for underground utility contractors.

AI that asks to be checked. Every quantity shows where it came from, flags its own uncertainty, and leaves the final call with your estimator.
Each item lists the exact sheet and station it was read from — so you can put your finger on the plan and confirm any quantity in seconds. No black-box totals.
Confidence ratings on every line, plus automatic cross-checks: labeled lengths verified against station math, slope sanity checks, and warnings whenever a scale bar can't be confirmed.
Uploaded sheets are processed only to generate your results — never shared with other users and never used to train AI models. Delete your data any time.
AI assists. Your estimator decides. Every export is marked preliminary until a qualified estimator signs off — that's by design.
No annual contracts. No per-seat surprises. Cancel any time.
All plans include a 14 day free trial. No credit card required to start.
PDF files, JPG and PNG images, TIFF files, and screenshots all work. The AI reads your plans as images so any clear visual of a plan sheet will work. Exported PDFs from CAD or Bluebeam produce the best results.
Instead of trying to scale distances visually, the AI finds the profile view on your plan sheet and reads the station numbers directly. Pipe length equals the end station minus the start station — the same method an experienced estimator uses manually.
The current version is optimized for sanitary sewer, storm sewer, waterline, and earthwork including trenching and backfill. Paving, concrete, and demolition support is being added in the next update.
For clear plan and profile sheets with readable scale bars and station numbers, accuracy is very high. The AI flags its own confidence level on every item. All results should still be reviewed by your estimator before submitting a bid — the app is designed to assist and catch mistakes, not replace estimator judgment.
Yes. Your uploaded plans are transmitted securely over encrypted connections and are never shared with other users or used to train AI models. You can delete your data at any time from your account settings.
The Pro plan supports up to 3 team members and the Team plan supports up to 10. Each team member gets their own login and can access all shared projects.
No. Takeoff Check Pro runs entirely in your browser. Nothing to install, nothing to update, and it works on any computer, tablet, or phone.
You keep full access until the end of your billing period. Before canceling you can export all your projects and takeoff data. After the period ends your data is retained for 30 days before deletion, so you have time to retrieve anything you need.
