Point-and-click takeoff with multi-condition estimating and AI auto-count
The professional estimator's choice for high-speed, high-accuracy digital measurements — overlay comparisons, auto-count, and direct export to Quick Bid.
What On-Screen Takeoff Does

- AI auto-count to scan drawings and count symbols (fire alarms, outlets, etc.)
- Overlay feature to compare plan revisions and detect changes
- Direct export to Quick Bid for detailed material and labor pricing
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.
