On-Screen Takeoff

Eliminating the Ruler and Scale

On-Screen Takeoff (OST) exists because manual takeoffs are slow and error-prone. When a project is revised, an estimator can overlay the new plans on the old ones; OST highlights differences in blue and red, ensuring no change order goes unnoticed.

How Pricing Works

• Per-Seat Licensing: One-time purchase per user, with subscription models now available
• Annual Maintenance: Recurring fee for updates and support
• Bundle Discounts: Often sold with Quick Bid for a complete workflow

The ConstructionPerks Take

We think On-Screen Takeoff is best for: Full-time estimators and pre-construction teams in the mid-to-large commercial space who need high-speed, high-accuracy measurements.

One thing to think about is that it is primarily a desktop-based tool. The classic OST is a heavy-duty Windows application built for a dual-monitor setup, not an iPad in the field.

Another consideration is the total cost. Between the initial license, maintenance, and Quick Bid, it's a significant investment. But for a firm doing millions in volume, the accuracy pays for itself in a single bid.
