On-Screen Takeoff® (OST) set the standard for digital takeoff. Let’s see why it’s the number one trusted takeoff tool in the industry, and how it compares to its competitor, STACK.
Built by estimators, OST gives you the speed, flexibility, and accuracy to bid more jobs and win more work. With advanced tools for every trade, you can work faster, and with more accuracy, so you can focus more on deep analysis.
OST works seamlessly within the ConstructConnect® suite, letting you pull in data from ConstructConnect® Project Intelligence with access to 800K+ projects, while connecting directly to Quick Bid® for estimates. Need Excel®? OST integrates with that, too.

ConstructConnect has everything you need to make preconstruction simple. Access project data, takeoff and estimating tools, bid tracking, analytics, and more. Everything you need to keep your projects moving is right here.
Your time matters. That’s why we make it easy to see how On-Screen Takeoff gives you an edge over STACK.
| Feature | On-Screen Takeoff | STACK |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Condition Takeoff | Select multiple items and complete their takeoffs all at once, saving time and reducing repetitive work. | Users can group items, but conditions require input to create every time, resulting in slower takeoffs for multiple items. |
| Multiple Adjusting Overlays | Overlay multiple drawing versions and quickly spot changes, like what’s been added or deleted. | Provides visual overlays for detecting changes, but all takeoff updates are manual. |
| Project Template Options | Fully customizable templates for a faster project setup. | Limited template options with fewer customization possibilities. |
| Assembly Customization | Easily integrate with Quick Bid to create and reuse custom assemblies that combine multiple conditions into one unit. | Allows custom assemblies, but with fewer pre-built options and less flexibility. |
| Measurement Tools | Advanced tools like linear cuts and split segments allow precise measurements of partial or complex elements. | More basic measurement tools, making partial or complex elements harder to measure accurately. |
| Typical Areas and Groups | Define a standard section once and apply it across multiple instances in a project. | Offers tools for identifying areas, but requires more manual setup and lacks the same flexibility that OST provides. |
