Description

TradeOff is a cloud-based solution designed for takeoff, estimating, and progress billing, which efficiently manages workflows from analyzing blueprints to facilitating client payments. Users can seamlessly upload PDF drawings into their web browser, where tools for scale calibration, tracing, and counting assist in the easy aggregation of quantities. An integrated AI assistant improves this experience by automatically extracting quantities, identifying scales, and proposing rates for estimates. The estimating matrix features a user-friendly grid that resembles a spreadsheet for pricing purposes. Additionally, the platform's progress billing capabilities include support for schedule-of-values billing, tracking retainage, and ensuring compliance with taxes like CIS deductions and VAT reverse charges. Payment processing is made easy through integrations with Stripe and BACS, while features for team collaboration and one-click PDF exports enhance the ability to create branded estimates and payment applications. Ultimately, TradeOff aims to simplify the entire estimating and billing process, making it more efficient for construction professionals.

Description

Zip Takeoff is an online tool designed for heavy civil contractors and sitework professionals who require precise quantity measurements without the hefty price tag of traditional desktop software. Users can easily upload plan PDFs to measure areas, lengths, and counts with detailed vertex-level editing; the automatic area pickup feature efficiently extracts vector geometry from compatible PDFs, allowing for quick and editable measurements, while scaled satellite images provide coverage for locations lacking available plans. Measurements can be organized by pay item, and users can convert areas into volumes and material weights by inputting depth and density data, enabling the separation of Base Bid and Alternates, with the ability to export pay-item totals to Excel alongside a marked-up plan set. The tool is entirely browser-based, requiring no installation, and operates seamlessly on both Mac and Windows platforms. Users can begin with a free plan that includes 10 projects, 5 GB of storage, one estimator seat, complete measurement tools, and XLSX export capabilities, or opt for the Pro version at $39 per month per estimator seat, with viewer seats available at no additional cost. This flexibility allows contractors to choose a plan that best fits their needs while ensuring they have access to essential features for efficient project management.
