FloorScan vs
Attic+ : takeoff with nothing installed
Attic+ assumes an equipped workstation, a learning curve and in-house configuration. FloorScan assumes a browser and a PDF, and returns the first quantities in thirty seconds.
The 20-second verdict
For a firm that built its work-item library over years and prices to the decimal, Attic+ keeps a depth that is hard to match. To get quickly from a PDF to usable quantities, from any machine, FloorScan puts less friction in the way.
Three differences that matter
No workstation to set up
A link, an account, and the takeoff works as well from a Mac as from a site machine.
The survey is automatic
No room entry, no wall tracing: the AI reads the plan, scanned ones included.
CAD and BIM output
The plan becomes a layered DXF and an IFC model, on top of the quantities.

Switch in 3 steps
Start with a job you know
A takeoff already delivered acts as the reference to judge the gap in minutes.
Bring your libraries along
Quantities export with their units: your work-item prices keep applying.
Keep the depth where it earns its place
Many firms keep their software for complex jobs and save time on everything else.
Migration FAQs
Can I keep my work items and ratios?
Not as a library import: FloorScan produces quantities, not your work-item catalogue. In practice the Excel export feeds the sheets where your ratios already live, so nothing has to be rebuilt.
What about very specific jobs?
The manual takeoff module lets you draw custom zones, linears and counts with your own labels. Beyond that, a deep specialist package keeps its value: one does not mechanically replace the other.
