Open Your Drawing
Work from the project's construction drawings.
DIGITAL TAKEOFFS
Turn drawings into quantities you can estimate
Measure, count and organize quantities from construction drawings, then connect them to your BOQ and estimation workflow.
Drawing → Measure → Quantity → BOQ → Estimate → Quote

Each quantity stays linked to the drawing it was measured from
Connected measurement
Stop measuring in one place and estimating in another.
Construction takeoffs often involve drawings, spreadsheets, handwritten calculations and separate BOQ files. Keeping quantities accurate and connected to the estimate can become difficult as projects change. Masarek brings the takeoff process closer to the BOQ and estimation workflow.

From drawing to quantity
STEP 02
Measure & Count
Measure lengths, areas and quantities directly from the drawing.
STEP 03
Organize Quantities
Group measurements against the relevant construction items.
STEP 04
Use in Estimation
Connect quantities with the BOQ and continue into cost estimation.

Measurement tools
Measure the quantities that matter
Use construction-specific measurement tools to capture the quantities required for project estimating.
01
Linear Measurements
Measure lengths for walls, piping, cable runs and other linear work.
02
Area Measurements
Calculate floor, wall, ceiling and other measurable areas.
03
Count Items
Count doors, windows, fixtures, equipment and other repeated items.
04
Quantity Organization
Group measurements by item, work category or BOQ requirement.
Drawing-based takeoff
See where every quantity comes from.
Keep measurements visually connected to the drawing so your team can review where quantities were taken from.

Quantities that carry into your commercial workflow
01
Keep your takeoff connected to your BOQ
Don't finish the takeoff and start the BOQ all over again. Organize measured quantities against the relevant BOQ items and carry them into estimation.
One measured quantity. One BOQ item. One connected record.

COST ESTIMATION

Take quantities straight into estimating
Use measured quantities as the foundation for your construction estimate, then apply your own rates and markup to reach a selling price.

Keep up when drawings change
Construction drawings can change before work begins. Keep takeoff information organized so your estimating team can update quantities when project requirements change.
Revisions are updated by your team — nothing is compared automatically.

Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
What are digital takeoffs in Masarek?
Digital takeoffs let you measure lengths, areas and counts directly from construction drawings and organise those quantities against the items you are pricing.
Do takeoff quantities feed the estimate?
Yes. Measured quantities can be carried into the BOQ and estimate so the priced quantities match the drawing they came from.
READY TO ESTIMATE?
Turn your drawings into a clearer estimating workflow.
Bring takeoff, quantities, BOQ and construction estimation into one connected workflow with Masarek.
