TakeoffPolygon, line, count, and orthographic tools
Draw any shape with precision snapping and orthographic locking. Measure linear runs, count fixtures, and calculate complex areas without leaving the canvas.
TakeoffMaterial classes and unit conversion
12+ pre-built material classes including AC Pavement, Building Pad, Curb, PCC, and more. Automatic SF ↔ SY ↔ tons or CY conversions so your quantities land in whatever units the bid sheet wants.
TakeoffReal-time collaboration
Multiple estimators work the same sheet at the same time. You see live cursors, live quantities, and every change as it happens; no version conflicts.
TakeoffExcel + annotated PDF export
Export your takeoff to Excel with every calculation and breakdown, or download an annotated PDF with your measurements burned onto the plans.
TakeoffBrowser-based, Mac and Windows
No install, no license keys, no IT tickets. Open Bidscreen Cloud in Chrome or Edge and start measuring on any machine you have. 16 GB RAM recommended for large sets.
AI assistAuto scale detection
On upload, AI finds the scale bar or scale callout on each sheet and proposes the calibration. One click to apply, or skip and calibrate manually.
AI assistConstruction-class suggestions
AI scans the sheet notes and keynotes to suggest construction classes that already exist in your takeoff library (PCC Curb, Asphalt 4″, etc.). Add one at a time or add them all.
AI assistPage label extraction
AI reads each sheet’s title block and extracts the sheet ID, title, and discipline. Apply labels across the whole set in one click instead of naming 60 pages.
AI assistPro+ Intelligence only
Core Bidscreen Cloud takeoff (measure, count, export) is free. AI features are exclusive to the Pro+ Intelligence plan; auto scale detection, construction-class suggestions, and page-label extraction.
