CadCraft
2D drafting & documentation
Command-line drafting with layers, blocks, dimensions and layouts that plot. Opens and saves DWG and DXF.
Quantity takeoff & estimating Planned
TakeoffCraft
Measure the drawings. Count the work. Price the job.
TakeoffCraft is for the estimator with a plan set and a deadline. Calibrate each sheet once, then measure lengths, areas and counts straight off the drawings. Assemblies turn one measurement into everything it means: a wall run becomes studs, board, insulation and tape. Quantities stay linked to the marks on the drawing, so you can click a number and see where it came from, and cost columns turn the takeoff into a price.
If you take off quantities in Bluebeam or PlanSwift, TakeoffCraft will feel familiar.

What's inside
-
Calibrated scale per sheet
Set the scale once per sheet, or read it from the title block, and check it against a known dimension.
-
Linear, area and count
Trace wall runs, flood rooms for area and click to count fixtures, each on its own takeoff item.
-
Assemblies
One wall type measured once becomes studs, board, insulation and tape, at the quantities you set per foot.
-
Linked to the drawing
Every quantity points back to the marks that made it. Click a total and the sheet shows you where it came from.
-
Cost columns
Add unit costs, labor and waste factors beside the quantities and see the job total move as you measure.
-
Quantities that export
Send the takeoff to CSV or XLSX for the estimate, the bid form or your accounting system.
