Concrete takeoff,
finally automated.
Caliperd reads your drawings, counts and measures the plans, and drafts a takeoff against the schedules, ready for your review in minutes, not days.
Takeoffs take time. You could be pricing every opportunity.
Estimators spend days reading, counting, entering quantities, over and over again. Every revision or new job restarts the cycle, hours spent on monotonous tasks. Caliperd does the heavy lifting on measuring the drawings so you can get back to building!
From a drawing set to a priced tender, in three steps.
Drop in the drawing set
Upload the whole set at once: structural, architectural and civil drawings. Caliperd sorts each page by trade and extracts the information important to you.
Review the takeoff with reo and dimensions in one view
Dimensions and reinforcement land in one card per element. PF1: 15 off at 1.3 × 1.3 × 0.6, SL102 top and bottom at 200. Filter by floor or type and tick each element as you check it. Caliperd flags anything it couldn't read. One pass, not two screens.
Add the extras, then generate the estimate
Add the final details: starter bars, pumps, cranage, surveying, rubbish removal and prelims. Caliperd assembles this into a detailed summary and allows for you to export it in your custom template. Just add rates and margin and it's ready to submit!
One drawing set in. Every concrete quantity out.
A tender isn't just one number. Caliperd measures the five quantities every tender is built from: the dig beneath it, the forms around it, the bar and mesh inside it, and the pour itself.
Detailed excavation to footings and beams, with spoil removal converted to tonnes for the cartage line.
Contact areas derived from the same geometry as the pour, with edge forms and plinths counted as separate lines.
Bar size, spacing, direction, lap and cover read from the reo schedule and carried through to the estimate line.
Mesh and trench mesh identified by designation, with sheet areas and lap allowances measured off the same plan.
Pad footings, strip footings, slabs on ground and suspended slabs, each computed from the schedule's own dimensions.

Volumes, reinforcement tonnage (bar and mesh weights alike) and formwork areas computed from the extracted geometry, not re-keyed.
Every detection carries a score, and anything unclear is flagged for review rather than quietly assumed.
Footings counted on the plan reconciled against the schedule, so nothing is double-counted.
CSV, Excel or the sheet your team already prices on, with rate columns left empty for you.
A revised set goes back through in minutes instead of restarting the takeoff.
