Built around how you actually hang board
Blueprint takeoff
Open a PDF or image plan, set the scale for each page, and outline rooms. Wall and ceiling areas add up for you, with openings, stairways and extra areas.
Sheet counts by wall height
8 ft and tall walls figure on 4×12 sheets. 9 ft walls figure on 54″×12′ sheets so there's no strip to fill at the bottom. Compare 8 to 16 ft board lengths.
Mud by the box
Joint compound is counted in boxes, not buckets, for ProForm Lite Blue and All Purpose, along with screws, tape and primer.
Totals by floor or section
Tag rooms by floor or section and see a separate breakdown for each one.
Save jobs and print
Save every takeoff as a job file to reopen later. Print estimates or save them as PDF with your company name and logo, and attach up to 12 job photos.
English or Spanish
Switch the app to Spanish for your crew. It runs fully offline, and only connects when you click Check for updates.
