General contractors & trade contractors
For owner-led construction businesses and small estimating teams working from PDFs. Residential, remodeling, light commercial and commercial projects are intended contexts; your drawings, scope and review determine what can be measured.
General contractors
Organize the rooms and trade work you are pricing, review source-linked quantities and build the project estimate with material and labor rates.
A revised drawing, omitted space or optional scope can change the bid. Record the version you are using, make exclusions clear and keep open assumptions visible for review.
Trade contractors
Choose the applicable sheets, manually place installed counts or trace areas and lengths, then build a trade estimate from the reviewed quantities.
Keep legend samples and repeated views out of the installed count. Separate material and labor rows can share that count without turning one object into two.
Construction trades
These are intended uses of the verified generic manual area, length and count tools. They are not claims of validated automatic recognition, all-trade coverage or specialist estimating calculations.
Count shown devices and fixtures manually. Use the legend to identify the symbol, then count installed locations, not the legend examples.
Count shown fixtures and equipment, and measure drawn runs for your package. Verify sizes, connections and any scope not represented.
Count shown equipment and terminals, and measure the runs you can verify. System sizing, load calculations and design are not supplied.
Trace net floor areas and exclusions room by room. Check transitions and keep material waste separate from the measured footprint.
Measure represented areas and lengths. Check wall heights, openings, sides and assembly assumptions before pricing.
Define the surfaces in your package and measure the areas shown. Record coats and assumptions for surfaces the drawings do not establish.
Measure drawn slab and flatwork footprints. Thickness, reinforcement and volume requirements still need separate checking.
Name the scope, choose an area, length or count, and attach notes to its source. Keep unsupported or unmeasured work explicit.
Check scope ownership, revisions, quantities and rates before using a draft. If a symbol is unclear, a surface is not shown or an item has no rate, keep that issue explicit rather than treating it as zero or silently excluding it.
Automatic revision comparison and live supplier pricing are not provided. Existing approved Studio accounts can use the private assisted workspace. The public sample is available for evaluation; own-plan public trials are not enabled.
Explore an anonymized residential plan with editable manual areas, or start fresh on the same drawing. Review the scope, build a draft and check the export. No own-plan trial or payment is enabled.
