Eleven measuring tools
Rectangle, polygon, plane for angled roofs, circle, linear, wall, wall poly, count, perimeter, area, and tag — the scopes that bid real work.
PDF takeoff software
Takeoffs that come out in dollars.
Redliner measures construction PDFs into categories that carry unit costs, grouped by the rooms you define on the plan. Draw the measurement, watch the estimate build — by category, by room, or in total.
Why teams use it
Organized around the sheet set.
One outline, whole room
Complex categories take off multiple scopes from a single drawing: outline the bedroom once and get flooring, drywall, paint, millwork, and fixture counts together.
Scale you can trust
AI scale detection reads the sheet, or calibrate from a known dimension. Deskew and perspective correction straighten scanned plans before you measure.
FAQ
Common questions
How do costs work in Redliner takeoffs?
Each takeoff category carries a unit cost. Quantities post as dollars while you measure, and roll up by category, by room, or for the whole project.
Are takeoff quantities linked to the PDF?
Yes. Every measurement lives on the drawing that produced it, grouped under the room where it was drawn.
Can I export the takeoff?
Yes. Export the takeoff to PDF with measurements, markups, and labels composed how you want — or share a live link so others watch the estimate develop.
