MarkMetric
PDF takeoff for construction estimators.
A browser-based tool for measuring drawings, computing quantities, and producing bills of materials and marked-up PDFs with the working shown.
What makes MarkMetric different
Work across multiple drawings.
Set measurements from sections and plans together, not one sheet at a time. Quantities reconcile across the whole drawing set.
Multiple scales on a single drawing.
Real PDFs aren’t drawn to one scale — a site plan at 1:500, a detail at 1:20. MarkMetric handles that without forcing you to split the file.
Price lists that match how you actually work.
Download a template, fill in your prices, upload one per project. Build as many as you need — one per supplier, one per client, one per contract. Products that come in multiple sizes carry their own price per size. Add products and prices in the app as the project evolves — no need to re-upload. Bills of materials price themselves the first time, every time.
And also
-
Measurement tools.
Linear, area, and count, with two-point calibration on every drawing.
-
Cutouts.
Subtract any area from a measurement — lift shafts, lightwells, voids — and name each one. Cutouts carry through to the marked-up drawings and the exported audit trail.
-
Derived quantities and parameters.
Combine measurements into named values — wall area × material coverage = material required.
-
Excel exports.
Bill of Materials, Bill by Quantity with the full working trail, and a measurement audit sheet.
-
Marked-up PDF export.
Cover page plus every drawing with the measurement overlay drawn over the original.
Who it’s for
Manufacturers.
White-label deployments give technical teams their own branded takeoff tool, with their product catalogue baked in, and quantities that map directly to their products.
Contractors.
Direct access for specialist contractors who do their own estimates — waterproofing, damp, structural repairs, anyone whose work involves measuring drawings and ordering materials.
Consultants and engineers.
Specifiers who want to model quantities for the contractors they specify products for.
Procurement.
Procurement teams quantifying from drawings to produce priced bills of materials. Assign price lists per supplier, per project, per client, and produce a bill that holds up the first time.
If you need to quantify from PDFs and produce a professional extraction document, MarkMetric is built for you.
