This page presents the main features of the Planmetry application. The software is under active development and new features are released regularly.
New: automatic scale detection (AI), automatic object recognition (AI), wall surface area measurement, and a set of productivity improvements (summary view, naming, color-coding, visibility controls, tool reuse)
The service is designed for accurate measurement and quantity takeoff directly from construction blueprints. Measure lengths, areas, volumes, and count discrete items—whether in metric or imperial units. Specify the components or units you’re measuring, and add optional position tags and comments to keep your data clear and organized.
Export your quantity list instantly in Excel (.xlsx) or CSV formats, fully compatible with cost estimation and accounting software. No more pen and paper, and no more copying notes between programs. Your data is clean, structured, and ready to use in any system that accepts spreadsheet files.
The program has different drawing & measurement modes. The mode affects the tools displayed to the user. Separate drawing modes are available for the plumbing, ventilation, electricity and construction. Drawing modes have menu structures to help you find the right object.
You can easily specify pipes, accessories, duct types, and other HVAC components. The program helps you quickly find the right part for your calculation. Simply select the components from the blueprint, and they are added automatically to your quantity takeoff list.
You can easily specify cable types, fixtures, lamps and other electrical components, for example. There is a dedicated tool for point calculation. The program helps you to quickly define the correct electricity objects to use for the calculation.
From the very beginning, Planmetry has been designed for ease of use. You don’t need months of training—its intuitive interface lets you become productive right away.
Planmetry app has AI boosted tools, such as automatic scale detection and automatic object detection tool for helping you to automate the job.
You can download a .pdf drawing into the program. The program detects drawing scale automatically.
It is also possible to set the scale manually by drawing a baseline and telling the program the length or typing the scale. The scale is possible to define by typing the scale.
In Planmetry app, the measuring of quantities works with the drawing tools.
You can measure lengths, squares, cubes, wall areas and mark your own or use library objects. The measurements are transferred directly to the quantity takeoff list.
Planmetry has AI powered object detection which helps you to find similar items from the blueprint.
You can repeat your measurements easily by selecting previously drawn item and simply continuing measuring. The app ahas numerous features for helping you to get the job done.
This section contains answers to common questions and basic information about the app and how to use it.
Planmetry is a quantity takeoff program designed primarily for measuring and calculating quantities from construction drawings. You can upload a blueprint to the service and measure quantities using the application's drawing tools.
The program supports the measurement of meters, squares and quantities per unit. Metres and squares can also be z-valued, i.e. converted into square or cubic metres. All measurements and markings are clearly displayed on the drawing in their own colours and symbols. Measured quantities and units are transferred directly to quantity takeoff list, which can be downloaded from the software.
The app works in the browser. You don't need to install any software. The program is very easy to learn, adopt and use.
The software is in beta phase. It is currently free to use. The free version will continue to be available in the future.
Planmetry is designed for quantity takeoff. Quantity takeoff is the most time-consuming phase in the cots estimate process. Planmetry is not a costs calculation program, but you can transfer the quantity takeoff list into your own costs calculation program. Our goal is to make the slowest and most tedious step faster and smoother.
Planmetry currently has no integrations (API), but we will release an automated data migration tool for partner software in the future. However, the quantities measured with Planmetry can be exported from the software* as a .csv and .xslx file.
(*this is how it works with majority of programs currently on the market, very few transfers the data "directly", you have to download the file to your computer and enter it into your calculation program)
Yes. The program makes it easy to measure lengths, floor and wall areas and cubes from blueprints. For each measurement you can define a position and type, for example room/floor and the data is transferred directly to the quantity takeoff list. You don't need complex CAD software for measuring.
Yes. The software has separate drawing modes for plumbing and ventilation. For example, you can select pipes directly from the menu and and the information will go directly to the quantity takeoff list.
Meters are quick to measure and there are predefined objects for faucets, valves and numerous devices and fittings, for example.
Yes. The software has a dedicated drawing mode for electricity. You can draw and measure meters (or feet), such as cables, cable racks and pipes. There are multiple drawing objects for different fixtures and fittings. The drawing tools also have a dedicated menu for pieces measurement.
Yes. The software has a selection for Metric and Imperial measurements. You can easily select if you want to measure meters or feet.
