AI-Powered Takeoff and Estimating Tools for Roofing Contractors
Roofing moves fast. Your takeoffs should, too.

Bryon Smith from Learn About Construction shows roofing contractors how to use Takeoff Boost to generate accurate roof estimates from a typical roofing plan.
Products for Every Step of Your Workflow
A roofing bid is only as good as your quantities. Our tools get you from roof plan to priced estimate faster, with less risk of the material overruns and missed items that eat into roofing margins.
On-Screen Takeoff®
- Calculate surface areas for flat and sloped roofs: membranes, insulation, adhesive, fasteners, and sheet metal flashing, directly from digital plans.
- Take off multiple roof items simultaneously while sharing live plans between office and field so everyone works from the same version.
- Use AI powered Takeoff Boost with On-Screen Takeoff to get a fast first pass of areas and counts, then spend your time reviewing and refining results instead of tracing every roof by hand.
Quick Bid®
- Assemble priced roofing estimates quickly, review them, and revise with last minute changes that are recalculated for you so detailed, accurate bids are generated in much less time.
- Quickly calculate every detail for material and labor you need to estimate and bid.
- Reduce data entry errors and miscommunications by automating the functions that cause costly mistakes on complex multi-layer roofing bids.
Digital Production Control®
- Brings takeoff, estimate, and field data together in one place so you have a complete digital record of how each roof was planned and delivered.
- Track real-time labor production against your roofing plan. Spot problems early before they become schedule or budget issues.
- Use completed project data to sharpen labor assumptions, improve scheduling, and protect margins on future roofing bids.
How Roofing Contractors Are Using AI-Powered Takeoffs to Bid More Work in Less Time
Takeoff Boost has unique tools designed for roofing contractors, which cuts takeoff time by up to 95%. See how AI-powered tools can eliminate time-consuming tasks by automating measurements, so roofing professionals can focus on pricing, strategy, and winning more bids.
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
Roofing estimating software helps contractors measure roof areas and materials directly from digital plans, then turn those quantities into complete bids. No manual takeoff, no spreadsheet math. With On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid, you start from a roofing materials database, capture roof area from your plans, and build accurate estimates in less time.
On-Screen Takeoff lets you calculate takeoff of surface areas for both flat and sloped roofs, including membranes, adhesive, plates, quantities for layers, and sheet metal flashing, so you see exactly what is covered on each roof section.
On-Screen Takeoff captures your roofing quantities and sends them directly into Quick Bid, where you assemble priced estimates, apply your material database, and handle last-minute revisions automatically. No re-entering numbers, no version confusion.
Digital Production Control connects your estimate to the job site, tracking labor production and completed work in real time. It also maintains a clear project record, useful if disputes arise over schedule or scope, and generates the production history you need to bid future roofing work more accurately.
AI-powered takeoff with Takeoff Boost gives you a strong starting point. It automates the initial tracing and counting while keeping your estimators in control of final quantities. You review AI results in On-Screen Takeoff, make adjustments, and still save significant time. That makes it easier to respond to addenda faster, pursue more bids, and protect the accuracy your margins depend on.
