Estimating Got Too
Disconnected.

Teams were measuring in one place, rebuilding scope in spreadsheets, and copying it again into proposals. We built TakeCost to keep it connected.

Takeoff

Measure directly from drawings with fast, practical tools built for real estimating workflows.

Estimate

Keep quantities tied to pricing and scope structure so changes don’t force you to rebuild.

Proposal

Generate clean, client-ready outputs without copying quantities or recreating scope again.
