Blueprints in.
Bids out.
Takeoff is only step one. Upload the plan set, review a takeoff with page-level evidence and confidence labels, source material pricing, collect subcontractor quotes, and assemble the proposal in one focused workflow.
Your bid is scattered across four different places.
The plans are in a PDF. Quantities are in a spreadsheet. Material prices are buried in browser tabs. Subcontractor quotes are sitting in email. Then the proposal gets rebuilt by hand at the end.
TakeoffSpeed connects that loop.

We help you get the bid out.
Construction software keeps adding more. More modules, more tabs, more setup, more training. TakeoffSpeed goes the other way.
The one job
Built for small general contractors who still bid the job themselves.
Owner-operators and small GCs with mixed self-performed and subcontracted work. Secondary pages cover solo shops, remodelers, and trade contractors — they do not take over this homepage.
Small general contractors
One to twenty people. The owner or one estimator still builds the bid from PDF plans, material prices, and sub quotes. See the GC page.
Self-performed and subcontracted
Assign SELF vs SUB, send guest RFQ links, and keep quote coverage visible so the same scope is not counted twice.
Show the work
Page-level evidence, confidence labels, and math-check flags sit on the list so you can audit a count before it hits the bid.
The takeoff is only step one.
Counting the plans is not the end of the work. You still have to price materials, separate your work from subcontracted work, collect quotes, prevent double-counting, and build the proposal.
Most takeoff tools stop after the count. Broad construction software tries to run the company. TakeoffSpeed connects the Plan-to-Bid Loop without a project-management migration.
We will publish measured time and cost ranges after enough real jobs have gone through the product. Until then we will not pretend a Sunday night turns into ten minutes.
What the loop includes
AI should not ask you to trust a magic number.
See where the quantity came from, how it was calculated, what the system is confident about, and what still needs human review or a subcontractor quote.
High-confidence line items include a page-level citation (sheet or page evidence). If the list says six GFCI receptacles, you can see which page that count came from.
