Takeoff software
built for quantity surveyors
The first pass of the takeoff — counting, measuring, typing — disappears. AI detects openings, areas and linears on the PDF plan; you verify, adjust and export reliable quantities to Excel.

Why quantity surveyors are adopting AI takeoff
Your value isn't counting doors — it's producing accurate quantities, spotting plan inconsistencies and securing the estimate. Yet half of a pre-takeoff goes into mechanical entry: counting openings, scaling partitions with a ruler, transferring into Excel. That's exactly the part AI does better and faster than anyone.
FloorScan produces the first pass in 30 seconds: every detection is highlighted on the plan with its confidence score, areas are computed in real meters from the scale, and quantities export to multi-sheet Excel that drops straight into your quote template. You remain the judge — but you judge instead of typing.
What FloorScan automates for you
Opening counts
Doors and windows detected, typed and counted automatically — with widths estimated in real meters.
Room-by-room areas
Areas in real m² and perimeters per room, plus total area and footprint — the basis of any bill of quantities.
Partition linears
Load-bearing walls and partitions distinguished, linears measured in meters — ready for drywall and paint packages.
Structured Excel export
A multi-sheet workbook (rooms, openings, walls, summary) compatible with your estimating tools and quote templates.
Annotated PDF for the client
Every quantity is visually justified on the plan: your client sees where the quote's numbers come from.
Scanned plans accepted
Renovation, as-built, old files: detection works on scans and photos, not just vector PDFs.
Quantity surveyors' questions
Can I trust the quantities for a binding quote?
The workflow is designed for it: every detection is visible and correctable on the plan before export. You validate the quantities the way you'd review an assistant's work — but in 20 minutes instead of redoing 3 hours of entry. The final figure remains your responsibility, with traceability on top.
Does it work on my scanned renovation plans?
Yes — detection works on the image, not the vectors. A decent-quality scan (walls discernible by eye) gives results close to a vector PDF. One legible dimension is enough to set the scale and get real m².
How do I fit it into my current quoting process?
FloorScan slots in upstream without changing your tools: the PDF plan goes in, a structured Excel comes out, and you paste it into your quote template, bill of quantities or usual estimating software. No migration, no heavy training — most surveyors are autonomous within an hour.
