Roofing takeoff software that measures plans digitally and calculates materials automatically.
Upload plans and measure roof areas, lengths and pitch digitally. AI Scan Assist detects roof geometry automatically. Smart Components™ turn measurements into material quantities and priced estimates. Plans from free to $59/month.
No credit card required.
What is roofing takeoff software?
Roofing takeoff software helps contractors measure roof areas, lengths and pitch from plans or images, and calculate material quantities from those measurements.
Manual takeoff means printing plans, using a scaling ruler to measure dimensions, counting features by hand, and entering everything into a spreadsheet. It works, but it is slow, error-prone, and has to be repeated from scratch on every job.
QuoteCore+ replaces that with digital takeoff tools and AI Scan Assist. Upload a plan, measure digitally or let AI detect roof geometry, and Smart Components™ automatically apply materials, labour, waste and pricing. The takeoff becomes an estimate, and the estimate becomes a quote — all in one connected workflow.
Key takeoff features
The tools that make takeoff faster and more accurate in QuoteCore+.
Digital roof takeoff
Measure roof areas, lengths and pitch from uploaded plans. Handles angles, complex geometry and multiple roof sections.
AI Scan Assist
Automatically identifies roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys, barges and spouting from an uploaded plan.
Smart Components™
Automatically apply materials, labour, waste and pricing to takeoff measurements. No manual quantity calculation.
Material ordering
Turn takeoff quantities into a material order with supplier details carried over. No re-keying.
How takeoff works in QuoteCore+
From plan upload to material quantities in four steps.
Upload PDF plans or use AI Scan Assist
Upload a roof plan, satellite image or drawing. Use AI Scan Assist to auto-detect roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys, barges and spouting, or measure manually with digital takeoff tools.
Measure roof areas, lengths and pitch digitally
Name each roof area, assign pitch and material type. Digital takeoff handles angles, pitches and complex roof geometry. Measure ridges, hips, valleys, eaves, barges, flashings and spouting lengths.
Smart Components apply material quantities, waste and labour
Measurements feed directly into Smart Components, which apply your stored materials, waste allowances, labour rates and pricing rules automatically. No spreadsheet formulas, no manual re-entry.
Review, adjust and send as a quote
Check the takeoff and pricing, adjust any measurement or quantity, then send it to the customer as a professional quote. The same data carries through to material orders and invoices.
What QuoteCore+ measures in takeoff
Roofing-specific measurement types handled by the digital takeoff workflow.
- ✓Roof surface areas (by pitch)
- ✓Ridge, hip, valley, eave and barge lengths
- ✓Flashing and trim lengths
- ✓Spouting and downpipe quantities
- ✓Pitch and slope calculations
- ✓Material quantities with waste allowances applied
Takeoff vs estimating — what's the difference?
Takeoff is the measurement step — measuring roof areas, lengths and pitch from a plan. Estimating adds pricing, labour, waste and material quantities to those measurements.
Many contractors do takeoff in one tool, then re-enter the measurements into a spreadsheet to estimate. QuoteCore+ does both in one workflow: takeoff measurements feed directly into Smart Components™, which apply materials, labour, waste and pricing automatically.
See the roofing estimating software page for more on the estimating side.
What QuoteCore+ does not do
No 3D modelling
QuoteCore+ measures roof geometry in 2D from plans and images. It does not generate 3D roof models or visualisations.
No cutting lists
QuoteCore+ calculates material quantities and pricing, not individual cutting schedules for each piece of material on site.
No accounting integration
Takeoffs, estimates and invoices are created within QuoteCore+, but it does not sync with Xero, QuickBooks or other accounting software.
Common questions
Can QuoteCore+ do roofing takeoffs from PDF plans?
Yes. Upload a PDF plan, satellite image or drawing and use the digital takeoff tools to measure roof areas, ridge, hip, valley, eave and barge lengths, and pitch. Measurements are calculated automatically and feed directly into Smart Components for pricing.
How does AI Scan Assist work for roof takeoffs?
AI Scan Assist analyses an uploaded plan and automatically identifies roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys, barges and spouting. You review and adjust the detected measurements before they become part of the estimate. It significantly speeds up the takeoff process, especially for complex roofs with multiple sections.
Can I measure ridge, hip, and valley lengths, not just roof areas?
Yes. The digital takeoff tools measure both roof surface areas and linear lengths — ridges, hips, valleys, barges, eaves, flashings and spouting. All measurements can be named, grouped by roof section, and assigned different materials and pitch values.
Does QuoteCore+ calculate material quantities from takeoff measurements?
Yes. Smart Components apply your stored materials, labour, waste allowances and pricing rules to takeoff measurements automatically. When you measure a roof area, the corresponding material quantities, screws, flashings and labour are calculated without manual entry.
What plan formats does QuoteCore+ support for takeoff?
QuoteCore+ supports uploaded images and PDF plans. AI Scan Assist works on the uploaded plan image to identify roof geometry. You can also use the free roof takeoff builder without uploading a plan if you already have measurements.
Can I export takeoff measurements without creating a quote?
Yes. Measurements can be reviewed and adjusted before you decide to create a quote. The takeoff feeds into the estimate and quote only when you choose to proceed. The free roof takeoff builder also lets you generate measurements without any commitment.
