Planmetry combines AI-powered area detection, precise manual measurement, project-based document management and a flexible quantity takeoff list in one browser-based workspace.
Feature highlights: AI-powered area detection; assisted measuring tools; projects and files; multi-drawing quantity summaries; layers, multi-select and undo; custom tools, formulas and export.
Automatically detect and measure areas in construction drawings with AI. Results are added to the drawing and quantity takeoff list as editable elements. Review and adjust them, then add any further measurements with the manual tools.
Measure lengths, areas, volumes, wall surfaces and object counts directly from PDF drawings. Use Metric or Imperial units and edit both automatic and manually created elements with the same clear tools.
Create reusable tools for lengths, areas, volumes and object counts. Define colours, lines, fills, symbols, properties, formulas and cost data, then organise the tools into palettes for different projects and trades.
Organise drawings into projects and folders and keep notes, images, spreadsheets, documents and other supporting files with the project. Reusable project structures make it faster to start new work.
Automatic scale detection, magnetic wall tracing, one-click area fill, symbol detection and snapping help you measure faster and reduce repetitive work while keeping control of the drawing.
Planmetry runs directly in the browser on desktop, laptop, tablet and phone. Projects are stored in the cloud and saved automatically, so you can continue work without moving local files or installing software.
All measurements flow into a configurable quantity takeoff list. Group, filter, sort and calculate data, combine quantities across drawings, and export results to Excel, CSV, PDF and other formats supported by your plan.
Use layers, multi-select, batch editing, undo and redo to manage large takeoffs efficiently. Sorting, colours and drawing highlights keep the quantity list and drawing connected.
This section contains answers to common questions and basic information about the app and how to use it.
Planmetry is a browser-based quantity takeoff workspace that turns construction drawings into structured, editable quantity data. AI detects and measures areas, and flexible tools let you review, edit and add measurements of areas, lengths, volumes and counts. Results are shown on the drawing and organised in the quantity takeoff list.
Planmetry combines AI-powered area detection with an editor built for corrections and additional measurements. The results remain editable on the drawing, projects and files stay together in the cloud, and the quantity takeoff list turns the work into structured data for estimating and export.
Yes. The Free plan includes the core tools needed to start measuring. Selected Pro features can also be tried with limited use, and current plan limits and regional pricing are shown in the application before purchase.
Planmetry focuses on quantity takeoff, which is often the slowest and most error-prone part of the cost estimation process.
It is not a full ERP or accounting system, but it goes beyond simple measurement.
With Planmetry, you can:
Structure your takeoff to match the way your company works, whether you finalise pricing in Planmetry or continue in your own cost estimating software.
Yes. All measurements are automatically collected in the quantity takeoff list.
You can export your data as:
Export quantities and calculated totals from your quantity takeoff list, or export the drawing as an image with measurement markings visible. Available export options depend on your plan.
Custom API integrations are available with selected subscription plans. An MCP (Model Context Protocol) interface is coming soon.
For file-based workflows, Planmetry also gives you full control over your quantity takeoff list structure. You can:
This allows you to design your quantity takeoff to match the required format of your external cost estimation or ERP software — so when you export the file, the data is already in the correct structure and order.
Yes. You can easily measure floor areas, wall areas, surface areas, lengths and volumes directly from PDF drawings. Tool styles and cost data can be fully customised for different construction workflows, and all measurements transfer directly to the takeoff list.
Absolutely. You can create tools for pipes, ducts, fittings and equipment, including length-based and unit-based tools. Tools can also include material and labour cost data. Measurements are quick, accurate and automatically organised in the takeoff list.
Yes. Tools for cables, conduits, fixtures and electrical components can be easily built using custom measurement tools. You can measure in linear meters or feet and count pieces with precision.
Yes. Planmetry supports both Metric and Imperial systems. You can switch between meters/feet and square or cubic units at any time.
Yes. The new Planmetry interface is fully mobile-optimised. Measuring works smoothly with touch gestures, and the interface adapts to smaller screens with floating menus and simplified workflows.
No. Planmetry runs directly in your browser. You always use the latest version automatically — no installations, updates or device-specific setups.
