Questions
Construction takeoff software FAQ
What is construction quantity takeoff software?
It is a tool used to measure lengths, areas, volumes and item counts from construction drawings. UpGrid keeps these measurements attached to the source plan and exports the results for estimating.
Can UpGrid measure PDF plans online?
Yes. Import a PDF, select or calibrate its scale, and create measurements directly in the browser. Nothing needs to be installed.
Can I compare two drawing revisions?
Yes. UpGrid can overlay drawings or display them side by side so that added, removed and modified elements are easier to identify.
Does UpGrid export takeoffs to Excel?
Yes. Quantities can be exported to structured Excel spreadsheets, and annotated plans can be exported as PDF reports.
