AI-Powered Takeoff and Estimating Tools for Plumbing Contractors

Estimating shouldn't be where your profits drain.
Plumbing estimates are dense: pipe runs, fittings, fixtures, valves, and systems that span dozens of plan pages. Our AI-powered tools handle the first pass counting and measuring so your estimators spend less time with a highlighter and more time building bids that win work.

Products for Every Step of Your Workflow

Plumbing contractors using our full suite are building accurate bids in hours, not days. On-Screen Takeoff with AI-powered feature Takeoff Boost handles the count work. Quick Bid handles the pricing. Digital Production Control keeps it all on track in the field.

On-Screen Takeoff®

  • Pair with Takeoff Boost to automate first-pass pipe counts, linear runs, and fixture quantities across multiple plan pages, so you review and refine instead of starting from zero.
  • Count pipes, valves, fittings, pumps, and fixtures directly from digital plans using familiar plumbing symbols, fewer missed items, faster takeoffs.
  • Measure linear supply, waste, and vent runs for accurate fabrication and installation quantities.

Quick Bid®

  • Assemble and update plumbing estimates quickly as specs and supplier quotes change, using custom material databases and reusable assemblies built for the projects you bid most.
  • Automate burden, overhead, and profit calculations so your margins stay accurate and visible every time, without extra data entry.
  • Use eQuote to keep pipe, valve, fixture, and equipment pricing aligned with current supplier rates without rebuilding your estimate.

Digital Production Control®

  • Connect your plumbing takeoff, estimate, and field data to see in real time how your scopes are performing against plan.
  • Track percent complete vs. labor hours burned to catch underproducing crews early and adjust before it hits your budget or schedule.
  • Maintain a clear record of work completed across phases, giving you better data for labor assumptions on future plumbing bids and cleaner project closeouts.

How Plumbing Contractors Are Using AI-Powered Takeoffs to Turn Days of Counting into Minutes

Plumbing takeoffs are notoriously count-heavy: hundreds of fittings, fixtures, and linear pipe runs across dozens of pages. Takeoff Boost cuts that time by up to 95%, so your estimators get out of the weeds and into pricing strategy.

Net Areas

Automatically segments each room and calculates net area along the inside edge of exterior and interior walls.

Footprint Areas

Detects and measures building footprint along the outside edge of exterior walls.

Ceiling Areas

Finds ceiling areas and splits them into gypsum board (GWB) and acoustical ceiling tile (ACT) or by ceiling type when specified.

Wall Linear Footage

Calculates total wall linear footage for standard walls on architectural floorplans.

Walls by Type

Breaks wall linears out by partition type when those types are labeled on the plan (e.g., different stud/gypsum assemblies).

Wall Surface Area

Generates painting linears for both sides of interior walls, giving painters a fast baseline for surface area quantities.

Existing Wall Detection

Identifies existing walls so you can exclude them from new work and avoid over-counting when bidding remodels, build-outs, or partial renovations.

Windows and Window Types

Finds windows and can classify them by window type based on plan tags and symbols.

Doors and Double Doors

Detects and counts doors and double doors, including location on the plan.

Plumbing and Building Fixtures

Counts toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and other fixtures so trade contractors can skip manual symbol counting.

Right-Click Reassignment

Quickly reassign results to your own Conditions with a right click, so quantities flow into the naming, phasing, and assemblies you already use.  Learn more.

Delete Results

Delete unneeded takeoff results without losing the Conditions themselves, keeping your structure clean while you refine results.  Learn more.

Edit & Move Conditions

Rename, recolor, move, and group Conditions so results fit your naming and organization standards.  Learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plumbing estimating software helps contractors measure quantities and build bids directly from digital plans instead of relying on paper drawings and manual calculations. With On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid, you can calculate linear piping, count valves, fittings, pumps, and fixtures, and assemble professional plumbing estimates more quickly and accurately.

On-Screen Takeoff lets you quickly count items like pipes, valves, fittings, and appliances and measure linear distances for piping runs using familiar plumbing symbols, which makes estimates clearer, reduces missed items, and helps you move off slow, error-prone manual methods.

On-Screen Takeoff handles quantities; Quick Bid handles pricing. You set up custom material databases for the project types you bid most, apply burden and overhead, and use eQuote so suppliers can update pricing by email all inside one connected estimating workflow.

Digital Production Control shows, in real time, how much confirmed work is in place against labor hours used, so you see whether your plumbing crews are tracking to plan or falling behind. That visibility supports better staffing decisions during the job and gives you more accurate labor assumptions for future bids.

Takeoff Boost gives you a strong, fast starting point while keeping estimators in control of final quantities. It handles the first pass of counting and measuring across your plans; your team reviews and adjusts in On-Screen Takeoff. You get the speed of automation with the accuracy check of experienced plumbing estimators.
