Nothing to install or maintain
No desktop suite, no license dongle, no Windows requirement. A modern browser is the whole setup, on Mac, Windows, or Linux — the same reason it works as a Bluebeam alternative for Mac.
Cloud takeoff
Cloud-Based Takeoff Software
ContractorCounter runs the whole takeoff in the browser: upload PDF or image drawings, calibrate once, measure and count on the sheet, and build a live Bill of Quantities — from the office, site trailer, or home, on any machine.
- Runs in any modern browser
- PDF and image drawing import
- Calibrated takeoff and counts
- Live BOQ and versioned quotes
Saving, exporting, and bill-of-quantities persist once you sign up free
The same workspace everywhere
Drawings, markups, measurements, counts, BOQ, and quotes live in one cloud workspace, so the takeoff you started at the office is the one you open on site.
Priced like a tool, not an enterprise platform
Start free, upgrade to a flat monthly Pro plan, or take the one-time lifetime license. No per-seat enterprise contract.
Common questions
Short answers for contractors
Is cloud takeoff accurate enough for estimating?
Accuracy comes from calibration, not the install. Set the drawing scale once and linear, area, and volume measurements are computed from the calibrated sheet — the same approach desktop tools use.
Does ContractorCounter connect takeoff to the quote?
Yes. Measurements and counts pulled from the drawing feed a live Bill of Quantities, and those quantities flow into multi-version quotes — so the takeoff and the price stay connected.
Does it work in the browser?
Yes. Upload PDF or image drawings, calibrate the scale once, and run the takeoff in a browser workspace — no desktop install.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. You can start free and upgrade when you need clean exports, a bill of quantities, and shared review.
