The record

Purpose: TakeCost is a digital construction takeoff and estimating tool for uploading plans, measuring materials, building estimates, and creating proposals.
Connected workflow: It connects takeoff quantities to pricing and proposal-ready outputs so changes can flow through the project.
Measurements: Users can measure areas, lengths, counts, and elevations directly on drawings.
Smart scopes: Smart Scope Assemblies convert measured geometry into material quantities for walls, slabs, framing, and other construction systems.
Estimating: The estimate builder connects quantities to material and labor costs and supports markups and pricing adjustments.
Proposals and exports: Users can generate client-ready proposals from estimates and export or share bid documents.
AI automation: AI-assisted tools can auto-scale drawings, name sheets, suggest assemblies, validate estimates, and generate inclusions, exclusions, and scope notes.
Supported files and units: TakeCost supports single-page and multi-page PDF plans, JPG and PNG images, and Imperial and Metric units.
Integrations: The maker's About page lists app integrations as a future development item and does not name current integrations.
Security: The maker says it runs daily backups and uses encrypted storage and limited access controls; its privacy policy says it takes reasonable security measures and cannot guarantee absolute security.
Privacy and AI data: TakeCost says it may use anonymized user-generated drawings and design data to improve AI features and says it does not sell personal information.
Support: Support is available through help desk tickets, live chat, email, and phone; the Accelerated plan includes priority support.
Free tier limit: The Core plan allows one new takeoff file per month, while past projects remain accessible.
Intended users: The maker presents TakeCost for general contractors, builders, subcontractors, and architects and designers who estimate construction work.
Price from: $49/mo
