Estimating that doesn't need a desktop install
The established takeoff tools are heavy Windows software. CountTooling runs in the browser — mark up plans at your desk, on a laptop, or on a tablet in the field, with nothing to download.
Everything the takeoff needs, on the plan
A complete digital takeoff tool — counts, lengths, scale, and reports, all on top of your PDF.
Count anything
Custom counters with your own icons, colors, and groups; live tallies as you click.
Measure runs
Straight lines, polylines, arcs, and drops — real linear lengths read off the plan scale.
Plan-accurate scale
Per-page scale, scale zones for multi-scale sheets, and multiply zones for repeated areas.
Mark up & annotate
Highlights, notes, a snapping grid, page rotation, and multiple canvases per sheet.
Report & export
An on-canvas summary legend, Show Report, and Export PDF with markup, report, highlights, and notes.
Send it onward
Copy a takeoff straight into PipeTooling, or copy a tab-delimited summary for email.
What estimators say
"I needed less than 10min of training to be able to use every feature, and was able to generate 90% of takeoffs without having to call architects for clarifications."
Wendi — Electrical Estimator
"I like how once I've drawn over a set of plans, with one click I can export them to my pricing app. I am really fast at generating takeoffs now."
William — Plumbing Estimator
"It is so simple and does the job other $400/month software does — I look back and wonder why everyone is not using it."
Bryan — Master Electrician
"I am able to trust my team did not leave anything behind when they share plans with me and I can view and audit their counts."
Malachi — Plumbing Master
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. CountTooling runs in any modern web browser — there's nothing to download or update. You can optionally install it as an app for a home-screen icon.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once a takeoff is loaded you can keep counting, measuring, and marking up with no connection. It auto-saves with local backups and syncs back up when you reconnect.
What trades is it for?
Construction and plumbing estimating — counting fixtures and devices, and measuring linear runs like pipe and conduit, right on the plan PDF.
Can I export to my pricing software?
Yes. Copy a takeoff straight into PipeTooling, copy a tab-delimited summary for email, or export a marked-up PDF with the takeoff report included.
Does it work on a tablet?
Yes. It's touch-friendly — single-finger pan, pinch to zoom, long-press for the menu — so you can mark up plans on a tablet in the field.
How is it different from desktop estimating software?
It runs in the browser with nothing to install, works on any device and even offline, and exports into your pricing workflow — versus heavy Windows-only desktop tools.
