Facade takeoff from a single photo
Photograph the facade or drop in its elevation drawing. The AI detects windows, doors, balconies and shutter boxes, then computes the net area with openings deducted, element by element.

Real-time analysis result
No laser survey, no cherry picker: one square-on photo and one known dimension are enough.
Gross area, opening area and net area kept separate: you price what you actually treat.
Every window carries its real-world dimensions, its type and its reveal returns.

Price a Facade Retrofit From the Elevation Drawing | FloorScan
On an elevation drawing: facade outline and scale set on a dimension, one window drawn then repeated with Translation and Symmetry, sorted by type with opening, material and acoustics, then insulation priced as main area and returns (reveals, lintels, sills).
Why facade takeoff still takes a day
On a facade job the price hangs on the net area: the wall minus windows, doors, balconies and shutter boxes. That calculation is still done on site, then by hand in a spreadsheet, opening by opening. A four-story elevation with twelve windows is an hour of typing and as many chances to slip a decimal.
FloorScan does that work on the image. You set the scale with one known dimension, the AI locates the openings, and you immediately get gross area, deducted area and the opening schedule with dimensions. The file stays editable: a badly detected element is fixed in one click and the total recomputes.
What the facade module computes
Net area, openings deducted
Facade area, total opening area and the difference, shown separately and exported as such.
Opening schedule
Every window, door, balcony or shutter box listed with width, height and area in real meters.
Reveal returns
Jambs, lintels and sills computed in linear meters for each opening, the line item everyone forgets.
Materials and coverage
Render, paint, insulation: quantities follow from the net area and your own coverage rates.
3D facade view
The survey is shown in volume so you can check at a glance that no opening was missed.
PDF, Excel and Word export
A takeoff report ready to attach to the file, a spreadsheet for your unit prices, an editable Word report.
Facade takeoff questions
What photo should I take?
A photo taken as square-on to the facade as possible, with the whole elevation in frame. One known dimension (a door width, a floor height) sets the scale. An elevation PDF works too and is more accurate, since the perspective is already corrected.
The AI gets a window wrong, what then?
You fix it in the editor: move, resize, retype or delete it, and draw a missing opening by hand. Areas and linears recompute on every change, there is no manual recalculation to trigger.
Does it handle several elevations of one building?
Yes, each elevation is analyzed separately and lands in the same project: you add up the net areas of all four orientations for a full facade job while keeping the per-elevation detail in the exports.

I already have an accountFor roof upstands, a flat roof waterproofing detail takes a few minutes to draw. Missing a section for the package? A construction detail drawing can be drawn to scale, as vectors. Quantities then come from our AI takeoff software, which counts walls, openings and areas. Those quantities feed straight into a quote from a floor plan, line by line. Before choosing, compare FloorScan pricing: the Essential trial is free for 14 days.
