Digital Takeoffs & Estimates for Contractors

A powerful estimating & takeoffs tool for contractors. Perform digital takeoffs, prepare estimates , and generate marked up drawings.

In plain English

Before a contractor names a price, Protakeoff helps measure the job from drawings, prepare an estimate, and produce drawings with marks on them. Those measurements, called takeoffs, show the materials a job will need. People can work from photos or uploaded files, and a person approves the estimate the AI drafts. Companies pay a subscription per person or per company because doing this on paper is slow and easy to miscount. The AI does most of the measuring and drafting and takes payments, but the person running Protakeoff still does a real share: quality checks, support, marketing to the trade, and odd jobs that need a human eye.
