Quantity Takeoff – Directly from Your PDFs

Planmetry is a browser-based quantity takeoff platform for measuring lengths, areas, volumes and object counts directly from PDF drawings — now fully mobile-optimised with automatic cloud saving and a redesigned measurement experience. The new version lets you create your own measurement tools, define how they look on the drawing, and attach material and labour cost data to each tool. Planmetry adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.

Measuring and Calculating

Measuring and calculating lengths, areas, volumes and objects has never been easier. Everything happens directly in your browser, straight from PDF drawings.

You can measure in units, meters, feet, square meters, square feet, cubic meters or cubic feet with high precision, and all results transfer automatically into your quantity takeoff list.

Planmetry also includes AI-powered features like automatic scale detection and object recognition, helping you work faster, reduce repetitive steps and avoid manual errors. Whether you're dealing with pipes, cables or ventilation routes, Planmetry keeps your workflow quick, accurate and consistent.
‍

Build your own measurement tools

You can build fully custom measurement tools tailored to your workflow. Each tool can be based on length, area, volume or unit counting, and you control how it appears on the drawing—colours, line styles, thickness, fills, symbols and visual behaviour. This keeps every measurement clear, organised and easy to manage.

Custom tools can also include material prices, consumption rates, labour cost and productivity values. Every measurement instantly generates cost-ready data, reducing manual calculations and eliminating spreadsheet work.

With custom tools, Planmetry adapts entirely to your processes, making your takeoff work faster and more reliable.

Export Data in the Right Format

Export your takeoff lists instantly in Excel or CSV format, ready for cost estimation and project management software. The data can be grouped by type, position, or other parameters, making it easy to filter and analyse.
‍
Planmetry ensures your measurements move seamlessly from blueprint to spreadsheet — no retyping, no manual conversions, and no risk of losing information between systems.
‍
Whether you’re sharing results with a client, importing into a calculation program, or keeping structured records, your quantities are always ready in the format you need. Both Imperial and Metric systems are supported.

Work with Any Device

Planmetry is designed to work smoothly on any device—desktop, laptop, tablet or phone. The entire interface is optimised for both mouse and touch interaction, allowing you to measure, edit and review quantities wherever you are.

Everything runs directly in your browser, with no installation, updates or local files to manage. Your projects are stored securely in the cloud, ensuring that your latest drawings and measurements are always available across all your devices.

Whether you're in the office, on site or travelling, Planmetry gives you the same fast, reliable experience everywhere. Switching devices is seamless, and your workflow continues without interruption.

Modes Tailored for Every Trade

Planmetry supports the way you work, whatever your trade. Every discipline has different measuring needs, and you can create tools that match them precisely—whether you work in construction, electrical, plumbing, HVAC or interior projects.

You choose what each tool measures—lengths, areas, volumes or units—and how it appears on the drawing, from colours and line styles to symbols and behaviour. This flexibility makes it easy to build toolsets for any trade while keeping your workflow consistent and organised.

SOLUTIONS

Solutions to the real
problems

CAD-based measurement tools are difficult to learn and take time to implement. With Planmetry, you can start working productively immediately and it doesn't take months to learn a new program. The program is easy enough and does everything you need.

Easy to learn how to use

All measurements are automatically collected into a fully customizable quantity takeoff list. Add your own columns, use formulas, calculate totals, and structure the data exactly the way your company works. You can save your setup as a reusable template — ensuring your data is always in the correct format for Excel, ERP, or cost estimation software.

Advanced Quantity Takeoff List

In renovation projects, floor plans are typically used to measure floor areas, wall dimensions, and other key elements. With Planmetry, you can quickly calculate wall surface areas using the wall measuring tool. Basic quantities and volumes can then be transferred effortlessly to your Excel spreadsheet or cost calculation software.

Main functions for the contractor

Copying and printing drawings is costly. When performing contract calculations the traditional way—by measuring paper prints—copies can add up to hundreds or even thousands of euros each month. With Planmetry, there is no need to order paper copies anymore.

Get rid of copying costs

In the construction industry, it is common to measure .pdf drawings using software originally designed only for viewing and editing .pdf files. However, this method is inefficient, as such software is not built for quantity takeoff and the process requires many manual steps. With Planmetry, quantities are captured instantly. The program is purpose-built for measuring drawings and generating accurate quantity takeoff files.

The right tools for measurement

With Planmetry, you can quickly take measurements and calculate areas directly from blueprints—much faster than launching traditional desktop software. Because the service works in a browser, it’s also possible to use on-site. You can clearly track what has already been calculated and what hasn’t—for example, when pipes have been “drawn over.”

Quick measurements from blueprints

With Planmetry, you can easily measure items in units, meters, feet, square meters, or cubic units—all at the same time. For example, pipes, cables, and ventilation ducts can be measured quickly and accurately, with the correct data transferred directly to the quantity takeoff list.
