Drawing-based costing

An itemised building estimate from your architectural drawings

Upload a supported residential PDF drawing set, review the measured quantities and turn them into an itemised UK building estimate with assumptions, exclusions and unresolved decisions kept visible.

What £29.99 inc VAT buys

  • One drawing analysis for one saved project
  • Drawing takeoff from a supported PDF set of up to six sheets
  • A review step before the measured quantities become costs
  • Itemised work packages, quantities and a separate materials schedule
  • Visible assumptions, exclusions and items still to confirm
  • A downloadable PDF estimate

Payment is taken before drawings are uploaded and analysed. A different project or materially different drawing set needs a separate purchase.

Before you start

Use architectural PDF drawings with clear dimensions and scales. Check all extracted measurements and descriptions against the drawings: automatic takeoff can miss detail, and undecided specification remains an allowance or an item to confirm.

A drawing analysis is a budgeting and pricing aid. It is not a tender, quotation or independently verified quantity surveyor’s cost plan.
