The tedious parts of a takeoff are where the hours go and where mistakes creep in. TRACEBUILD does the groundwork: it gives you a reviewable first pass at rooms and runs classed by trade, keeps your Excel export stable when a drawing revises, and finds any term across every sheet. You review, refine and price. The judgment stays yours. Full PDF markup and measurement in your browser with TRACEBUILD Lite, free while in early access. Estimating, revision compare, scope-risk scan and a private on-device AI estimator are coming in the TRACEBUILD Pro Windows app.

Counting by hand, retyping quantities into Excel, re-pricing after every addendum, hunting exclusions in the specs: that is where takeoff hours disappear. TRACEBUILD automates the busywork and leaves the estimating to you, with a private on-device estimator in TRACEBUILD Pro for when you want the write-up.
Calibrate once, then measure length, area, volume, angle and count. Clouds, callouts, stamps, highlights and redaction: the full set, with snap-to-geometry precision.
One-click Detect Spaces & Runs gives you a running head start: it finds rooms, names them from the drawing's own text and traces wall and pipe runs classed by trade; then you review and refine. Quantities roll up live by space and type and export to CSV or Excel, keyed so your pricing formulas keep matching after an addendum instead of shattering. Our wall-detection accuracy is a published, reproducible benchmark you can download and run. All of it free in Lite while in early access.
Run the whole sheet in a single pass: rooms, runs and AI-detected symbol counts land together as a takeoff you review, then price, with budgetary cost ranges and labor hours applied automatically.
When you're ready to price, one click turns a takeoff into a professional basis of estimate: executive summary, scope, assumptions and risk flags, written by a bundled AI model that never touches the internet.
The TRACEBUILD Pro Windows app, coming soon, bundles a capable AI model that runs entirely on your computer through a local engine. Your priced takeoff becomes a client-ready narrative. No account, no upload, no internet required. The dollar figures stay authoritative; the AI writes the scope, assumptions and review around them, and you keep the call.

Estimating, collaboration and AI are layered on top as added value.
