Free Attic+: what exists without a licence
A reference tool for French construction economists, sold the classic way: sales quote, licence, training.
Is it actually free?
Attic+ publishes no free edition. Access goes through a sales contact, a licence and usually training, because the tool covers takeoff, estimating and the production of specification documents. It is a structural investment for a practice, not something you try on a Sunday evening before handing in a price on Monday.
What is genuinely free
- The sales demo, free, often tailored to your kind of files.
- Public price bases and reference frameworks, consultable without the software.
- Open webinars and training material, useful for the method itself.
Where it stops
Nothing opens self-serve, and the entry cost includes training time. For a trade contractor or a small practice needing three takeoffs a month, the step is high relative to actual use.
What FloorScan opens up for free
FloorScan opens in a browser and covers takeoff, a schedule-style estimate and export to a spreadsheet, with no prior training. Thirty free days across every module, then a manual takeoff that stays open. For a practice already running Attic+, it remains useful as a fast quantity intake.
Free and immediate, no account: the matching calculator.
Cost breakdown by tradeFrequently asked questions
Does Attic+ offer a free trial version?
Entry goes through a sales demo, not a free download. A trial can be negotiated, it is not published self-serve.
Do you need training to use this kind of tool?
To cover the whole chain, yes, and it is a real cost. A tool focused on takeoff is learned in one session, which is not comparable in scope but is enough for many files.
Can you use FloorScan alongside Attic+?
Yes. FloorScan produces the quantities from the PDF and exports them to Excel, which then feeds the estimating chain wherever it already runs.
