Free takeoff tool
Measure your own roof plan
The QuoteCore Plus Free Roof Takeoff tool — free, no signup required.
Choose your measurement unit
Imperial and Roofing Squares users can enter roof pitch as either an angle (degrees) or a ratio (e.g. 6:12).
Manual measuring only - no AI scan in this free tool. Nothing is saved unless you choose to send the result into the app. Desktop recommended; tablets work but are not optimized.
What the finished takeoff looks like
Your output lists every measurement with its pitch calculation, totals per component, and pricing if you added your own rates. Example values from a typical finished takeoff:
| Roof area | 126.4 m² |
| Ridge | 18.2 m |
| Hips | 21.6 m |
| Valleys | 8.4 m |
| Eaves | 32.8 m |
Illustrative example - your results come from your own measurements.
What can you measure?
- Roof areas
- Pitch-calculated true roof surface area from plan areas
- Ridges
- Total ridge length, converted for pitch where applicable
- Hips & valleys
- Diagonal hip and valley lengths with pitch factors applied
- Barges & verges
- Sloping edge lengths on gable ends
- Eaves & spouting
- Perimeter and guttering line lengths
- Custom lengths
- Any other linear measurement, in your chosen units
How it works
1. Choose your measurement units
Metric (metres), imperial (feet) or roofing squares. Pitch can be entered as degrees or a ratio.
2. Upload your roof plan
An image of your plan (PNG, JPG or WebP). Calibrate the scale from any known dimension.
3. Use default components or create up to 7 of your own
Defaults give pitch-calculated measurements and totals. Custom components can carry your pricing and waste logic.
4. Measure your roof
Draw lengths and areas directly on your calibrated plan - ridges, hips, valleys, barges, eaves.
5. Review and finish
Get the full output: pitch-calculated measurements, totals, component quantities, and pricing if you added it. Save or continue in QuoteCore+ - optional.
What is a roof takeoff?
A roof takeoff is the process of measuring a roof from a drawing, image or plan to determine roof areas and key lengths such as ridges, hips, valleys and eaves. These measurements can then be used to calculate roofing materials, labour, pricing and quotations. QuoteCore Plus’s free roof takeoff tool lets you perform the measurement stage directly in your browser without creating an account first.
Roof takeoff vs roof estimating
A takeoff measures the roof and produces areas and lengths. Estimating uses those measurements to calculate materials, labour and price. This free tool handles the measurement stage; QuoteCore+ can then carry those measurements into the wider estimating and quoting workflow.
You stay in control of every measurement
The free roof takeoff tool does not guess your roof geometry for you. You set the drawing scale and measure the roof areas and lengths yourself, so every result can be visually checked against the plan. Stop printing roof plans just to measure them - upload the drawing, set the scale and measure roof areas and lengths directly in your browser instead of working between printed plans, a ruler, calculator and spreadsheet.

Users who want to save their takeoff or continue into the wider QuoteCore+ estimating and quoting workflow can create a free account afterward. Your plan is used for this takeoff session - nothing is saved unless you choose to save or continue.
Free roof takeoff FAQ
Is the QuoteCore Plus free roof takeoff tool really free?
Yes. The QuoteCore Plus free roof takeoff tool is completely free with no signup required. There is no account, no payment details, and nothing is saved - each session starts fresh.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can upload a plan, measure it, and get the full output without an account. An account is only needed if you want to save a takeoff and continue into the QuoteCore+ app.
What is a roof takeoff?
A roof takeoff is the process of measuring a roof from a drawing, image or plan to determine roof areas and key lengths such as ridges, hips, valleys and eaves. These measurements are then used to calculate roofing materials, labour, pricing and quotations.
What roof measurements can I take?
Roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys, barges and verges, spouting/guttering lines, and custom lengths. Every length is pitch-calculated, so plan measurements convert to true roof measurements automatically.
Can I upload a PDF roof plan?
Not yet. The tool currently accepts plan images in PNG, JPG or WebP format. Most PDF plans can be exported or screenshotted as an image. Calibrate the scale from any known dimension and every measurement is to scale.
How do I set the scale of the drawing?
After uploading, draw a line along any dimension you know the true length of (a wall, a scale bar) and enter that length. The tool calibrates from it and every subsequent measurement is to scale.
Can I measure in metric, imperial or roofing squares?
Yes. Choose metric (metres), imperial (feet) or roofing squares at the start. Imperial and roofing squares users can enter roof pitch as degrees or as a ratio like 6:12.
Are my plans or measurements saved?
No. Nothing is saved and the session refreshes every time you leave. Your plan is used only for that takeoff session. If you want to keep a result, send it into the QuoteCore+ app from the output screen.
Can I turn my takeoff into a material estimate or quote?
The output includes quantities and pricing if you build custom components with your own rates. From the output screen you can send the result into QuoteCore+, create a free account, and continue into materials, pricing and quoting.
Does the free roof takeoff use AI?
No. Measuring in this free tool is manual - you draw each measurement on your own plan, so every result can be visually checked. AI Scan Assist, which scans plans automatically, is part of the full QuoteCore+ app.
