No credit card. No install. Just AI doing the takeoff.

The difference

Other tools give you everything.
We give you what matters.

Most takeoff software extracts every quantity from a plan set — then hands you a pile of data and says "figure it out." ScaleCad is different. You tell us your trade. We extract only what you need to bid it.

Every other tool

Dumps all quantities from the plan You manually filter by trade You set the scale yourself You build the material list Hours per takeoff

ScaleCad

Trade-filtered quantities only AI auto-detects the scale Structured material list ready for export Minutes, not hours

Supported trades:

Electrical Plumbing HVAC Concrete Framing Roofing Drywall Insulation

How it works

Three steps. One takeoff.

Upload PDF or image

Drop a drawing file — PDF, TIFF, PNG. ScaleCad reads it immediately. No conversion tools. No special formats.

Select your trade

Pick from Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Concrete, Framing, and more. The AI filters the drawing to your trade scope only.

Get your takeoff

Structured material list — quantities, dimensions, specifications. Export to Excel, PDF, or directly into your estimating software.

Faster than manual takeoff

Estimators report completing takeoffs in under an hour that used to take half a day

98%

Measurement accuracy

AI vision model reads scale annotations automatically, no manual calibration required

Trades supported

From electrical conduit runs to concrete footings — trade scope determines what the AI surfaces

The estimator who can do more takeoffs per week wins more bids. That's not a software problem. That's a business problem. And we're solving it.

ScaleCad exists because someone who actually runs a construction company saw the gap — and decided to build the tool instead of working around it.

Built by builders Trade-first thinking No markup software needed From drawing to done

Stop measuring.
Start bidding.

The first takeoff that knows what you actually need — because you told it your trade.
