Groundplan

What is Groundplan?

Groundplan is a cloud-based takeoff and estimating tool tailored for the trades and construction industries. The application digitizes the traditional paper-and-highlighter process, allowing users to load PDF plans directly into the platform. As users conduct the takeoff, Groundplan automatically generates relevant figures and line items. Measures can be made on-screen, and estimates can be exported to Excel, streamlining the estimation workflow
