A takeoff is an estimating system that helps contractors calculate the amount of all materials and labor needed to complete a task or job. They may also be referred to as quantity takeoffs. ### How do you calculate takeoffs? Depending on the material you’re taking off, you’ll want to gather length, width or height measurements that can be used to calculate the exact dimensions of the materials you need. From there, areas and volumes can be assumed and combined with material and labor prices to arrive at an estimate. ### How does material takeoff software work? Houzz Pro’s online takeoff software works in minutes by allowing contractors to either manually upload measurements or import plans. From there, you’re able to mark plans up on screen, measuring lengths, width heights and calculating volumes or areas. Because Houzz Pro’s residential takeoff software also comes with a built-in estimator, you can quickly turn your takeoffs into professional estimates so you can get your bid in first. Be sure to look for a cloud-based takeoff software so you can access your takeoffs from to office, job site, or anywhere. ### Does on-screen takeoff software work on a Mac? Yes, Houzz Pro’s takeoff software is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers. ### Which features are included with a membership of Houzz Pro's takeoff software?
