Create Bid Request from Takeoff: Bid Request will be generated from your takeoff data to ensure that all measurements and specifications are included in the request.
Improve collaboration: Equipping subcontractors and vendors with what they need to provide accurate quotes improves communication and reduces the back-and-forth.
No platform login required: Share attachments without your partners needing to log into a platform, making it easier for them to access and review the information.
Save time: Minimize clarifications and follow-ups for a smoother, more efficient bidding process.
Ensure realistic and actionable takeoffs by implementing measurements based on cost catalog items. Reduce manual input and provide more clarity in your calculations:
Predefined accuracy: Link takeoff measurements to catalog items for precise estimations based on actual material and labor costs.
Consistent data usage: Ensure every takeoff uses the same cost data minimizing errors and improving estimate reliability.
Real-time cost updates: Update your catalog anytime and automatically reflect the latest prices in your estimates without redoing entire takeoffs.
Comprehensive costing: Easily calculate material and labor costs for every aspect of your project from start to finish.

Measure directly from plans, generate accurate quantities, and connect every takeoff to your estimates without manual work.
Takeoff in construction refers to measuring and analyzing project plans to determine material quantities, dimensions, and areas needed for project estimates. By working directly with digital plans, takeoff software enables users to scale drawings, measure lengths, calculate areas, and count items accurately.
Buildern simplifies this process by offering intuitive tools for creating, customizing, and organizing measurements, reducing the time and effort required compared to manual methods. With all data easily accessible in a centralized hub, preparing estimates becomes faster, more accurate, and better aligned with project requirements.
Yes, construction takeoff software is highly reliable when used correctly. Buildern takes accuracy a step further by providing advanced measurement tools, scaling features, and material waste calculations. This ensures your work with construction plans is precise, minimizing errors and miscalculations.
Absolutely. Buildern is designed to adapt to the unique needs of both residential and commercial construction projects.
For residential projects, it simplifies tasks like measuring spaces, calculating material needs, and creating tailored estimates for smaller-scale builds.
For commercial projects, Buildern handles the complexity of larger-scale measurements, grouped takeoffs, and intricate estimates with ease. Its flexibility and robust features make it a powerful solution for any project size or scope.
A material takeoff involves the identification and measurement of materials that will be required, including the type of material, its size, and the amount of each required. It shall be specifically applied to determine those materials needed to complete a construction project.
A quantity takeoff is the count or measurement of the overall quantity of items, materials, labor, or equipment required to complete a project. It can be more detailed information and may relate to quantities of other elements besides just materials to execute the job.
Buildern simplifies both processes by providing tools that help automatically extract accurate material and quantity data from project blueprints and digital files. With Buildern, construction companies can streamline estimating, reduce errors, and ensure that both material and quantity takeoffs are efficiently completed, leading to better project cost management and scheduling accuracy.
Buildern’s takeoff software integrates seamlessly with other project management tools, including estimates. Measurements taken in Buildern can be directly transferred to estimating fields, eliminating the need for manual input.
Additionally, you can use your takeoff measurements in the estimate quantity field to streamline calculations and ensure accuracy.
