What trades and scopes are supported?

Sanitary sewer, storm sewer, waterline, and earthwork including trenching and backfill, plus the structures and appurtenances on those sheets (manholes, inlets, catch basins, valves, hydrants).

How accurate are the AI results?

For clear plan-and-profile sheets, accuracy is very high: lengths are verified by station math, structures are confirmed across plan and profile views, and a second pass re-reads for missed items. Every item carries a confidence level, and results should be reviewed by your estimator before bidding.

Is my plan data secure and private?

Yes. Uploaded plans are transmitted over encrypted connections, are never shared with other users, and are not used to train AI models. You can delete your data at any time from your account settings.

Do I need to install any software?

No. Takeoff Check Pro runs entirely in your browser. Nothing to install or update, and it works on any computer, tablet, or phone.

The Problem

One missed item can cost you the job

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.

Missed structures

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.

Inaccurate pipe lengths

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.

No time to verify

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.

The Solution

AI that reads plans the way an experienced estimator does

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.

Scale Detection

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.

Profile View Analysis

Reads the station numbers along the profile view to calculate exact pipe lengths. The same station math your best estimator does by hand.

Structure Counting

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.

Missed Item Alerts

Flags anything shown on the plans but missing from your takeoff. Every alert tells you the exact sheet and station where it was found.

See It In Action

The actual product — not a mockup

These are real screens from a finished review. Upload a plan set and this is exactly what you get back: a complete, organized takeoff and a list of everything the AI thinks you missed.

Takeoff Check Pro — Takeoff Table

Every item, grouped by trade, with quantity, confidence, the sheet it came from, and the station it was measured at. Click any quantity to edit it inline, then export to Excel, PDF, or CSV.

Takeoff Check Pro — Flagged Items

A second, skeptical pass re-reads the plans and flags what is missing or inconsistent — like the drop manhole drawn on Sheet C-9, with a station and invert, that never made it into the original takeoff.

Built to be trusted

Why you can trust the numbers

AI alone isn't enough for a bid. Every takeoff runs through layers of checking — some by the AI, some by hard arithmetic in code — so the quantities hold up.

Scale read from the sheet

The AI finds the scale bar or title-block notation on each sheet and reads it. If no scale is found, every measurement on that sheet is flagged unverified — it never assumes one.

Lengths re-checked by station math

Pipe lengths come from station numbers, then the app recomputes end-minus-start in code — trusted over the AI's own arithmetic. If they disagree, the exact value wins and the item is flagged.

Structures confirmed two ways

Manholes, inlets, and catch basins are counted from the profile view, then cross-checked against the plan view — so nothing gets double-counted or quietly dropped.

A second, skeptical pass

After the first takeoff, an independent review re-reads the same sheets looking only for what was missed or misread — the way a senior estimator double-checks a junior's work.

Gaps in a run get flagged

The app checks that pipe segments chain end to end. A jump between stations — a likely dropped run — is flagged with the exact span and the footage unaccounted for.

You stay in control

Every item carries a confidence level, and anything uncertain is flagged for review. Nothing is hidden — edit any quantity inline, and the totals update instantly.

Why Takeoff Check Pro

Built for utility work. Not retrofitted for it.

Most takeoff software was built for building construction and adapted for sitework. We built this from the ground up for underground utility contractors.

Built For Trust

Designed to be verified — not blindly trusted

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.

Every number shows its source

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.

It flags its own uncertainty

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.

Your plans stay yours

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.

Questions we hear most

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.
