THE WORKFLOW
From a plan set
to a clearer next step.
A painting takeoff prepares the quantities behind your quote. You stay in charge of scope, rates, and the final bid.
Explore the exampleBring the drawings
Start with PDF plans and the project revision. Clear, dimensioned plans exported from drawing software are the best starting point.
Confirm the plan set, relevant levels, and what is being painted.
Define the scope
Whole floor or selected rooms? Walls and ceilings, or trim too? Record exclusions and the details that change the work.
Keep special conditions with the project, rather than in a separate conversation.
Review the quantities
Work through the quantities and the assumptions behind them. Check heights, openings, and scope against the drawings.
A generated draft is not an approved estimate. Missing information needs a decision.
Prepare your quote
Carry reviewed quantities into your existing estimating process. Add the products, rates, preparation, and labour appropriate to the job.
Paint selection and material specification are future work, not part of the current promise.
Before you begin.
How accurate is the takeoff?
The product is in pilot. Current accuracy has not been established against a fully verified benchmark. Review quantities and scope before bidding.
Is this a priced estimate?
No. The takeoff supplies quantities for your estimating process. You choose products, rates, preparation and labour.
Can I use scanned drawings?
Drawing quality affects what can be extracted and reviewed. Bring a representative plan set to the pilot discussion so we can establish fit.
What happens to my drawings?
We discuss the upload and processing arrangements during onboarding. Read the current privacy policy and confirm suitability before supplying confidential project material.
