Measure Plans Instantly.
Price Accurately.

Construction takeoff software is a digital tool that lets you measure quantities directly from floor plans and drawings. Instead of printing plans and using a scale ruler, you upload a PDF, calibrate the scale, and draw polygons or lines to calculate areas, lengths and counts. MyQS combines manual polygon tools with assistive Tap Measure: tap inside a room and on-device AI traces its wall-to-wall outline for you to confirm or adjust, so you keep control of every quantity while measuring far faster than drawing each shape by hand.

Yes. MyQS accepts PDF floor plans of any size. Upload your drawing, set the scale using any known dimension annotation on the plan, then measure areas and lengths by drawing polygons and polylines directly on the page. You can also tap inside a room and the on-device AI traces its wall-to-wall polygon for you to confirm or adjust. It copes with furniture, fixtures and text on the plan, hairline CAD linework and estate-agent-style plans alike. Clean scanned plans work too, though CAD-exported PDFs give the crispest corner snapping.

MyQS keeps you in the loop: Tap Measure traces room outlines wall-to-wall from the drawing's own geometry, and you confirm or adjust every polygon before it counts. Nothing is measured unattended. The system uses PDF vector extraction to read exact geometry from the drawing file, and scale calibration maps a known real-world dimension to the PDF coordinate system, so all measurements inherit that precision. Because every measurement is confirmed by you, the accuracy is yours; the AI just saves you the drawing time. Every confirmation or adjustment also shows us where the tracing should improve next, so the tool is tuned on real usage.

Yes, on MyQS Business and Enterprise plans. Teammates get real-time presence and live cursors showing who's in the project and what they're working on, plus true simultaneous co-editing: edits merge safely with no overwrites and no locking each other out. It works across the takeoff canvas, the BoQ, Quick Quote and the Programme. Bluebeam's Studio Sessions remain the more mature option for structured markup review meetings; MyQS co-editing covers the measuring and pricing work itself.

Yes. Create a free MyQS account (no card needed) and use the full takeoff tool on a real sample plan we load for you: draw polygons, set scale, generate measurements and export, at no cost. Uploading your own drawings and AI-assisted work come with Pay as you go at £20/month, which includes the takeoff tool plus the rest of the MyQS suite; MyQS Pro at £149/month adds a larger monthly credit allowance. No software installation is needed; it runs entirely in your browser.
