BUILT FOR INSULATION ESTIMATORS

Everything you need to build a better insulation bid.

PlanSwift turns insulation quantities into a clear, reviewable estimate. No separate spreadsheet to reconcile.

AI-Assisted Takeoff

Get a faster first pass on plan areas, then review the quantities before they shape material and labor costs.

Assembly-Based Estimating

Connect each area to the R-value, install method, material, labor, and waste behind the estimate.

Custom Formulas

Adjust coverage, waste, labor rates, or material prices without rebuilding the takeoff.

Reusable Templates

Save proven setups for common insulation systems and give every new bid a reliable starting point.

Plan Comparison

See what changed between drawing sets and update the affected scope before it reaches the bid.

Live Excel Integration

See what changed between drawing sets and update the affected scope before it reaches the bid.

Takeoff & ESTIMATING

Insulation Estimating with Planswift Takeoff Software

Determine loosefill, cellulose, batts, duct wrap, foam board insulation, all types of quantity needs.
Customize parts and assemblies then drop directly onto takeoff and automatically calculate your estimate.
Takeoff and estimate in half the time with greater accuracy, save time, cut costs, and increase profit!

Insulation Takeoff & Estimating Software

Do you need the same accuracy for your insulation estimates you get by counting wall cavities by hand? With PlanSwift you will. Now you can take your measurements directly off the digital plan.

With PlanSwift’s precision tools you calculate your bill of material quickly and efficiently, and build in a waste factor to insure you have enough material on hand. With easy-to-use Excel-style formulas you can create material assemblies for any insulated area.

A better bottom line begins with PlanSwift.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does PlanSwift help insulation contractors measure and price jobs?

PlanSwift gives insulation estimators one workflow for measuring and pricing a job. You can use area takeoff for walls, ceilings, floors, and other surfaces; linear takeoff for pipe or duct insulation; and count takeoff for repeated plan items. Organize quantities by building area, floor, wall type, insulation type, R-value, installation method, or another category that matches your bid. Then connect them to custom insulation assemblies and formulas for material, labor, waste, and cost calculations.

Can PlanSwift handle different insulation types, R-values, and installation methods?

Yes. PlanSwift lets contractors create separate takeoff items, assemblies, and formulas for different insulation specifications and installation methods. You can set up estimating logic for batt, blown-in, spray foam, pipe insulation, or other work, with different coverage, thickness, unit cost, labor, and waste assumptions. The exact setup depends on the plans and your estimating standards. Your estimator still reviews R-values, heights, penetrations, access needs, exclusions, and other project details before approving the estimate.

What does Takeoff BOOST do for insulation takeoffs in PlanSwift?

Takeoff BOOST is a suite of AI tools built into PlanSwift:

Auto Takeoff creates a preliminary page takeoff with supported area, linear, and count measurements.

Auto Count finds matching symbols or objects across selected pages after you choose what to count.

Auto Scale detects and applies page scale across selected pages.

Auto Bookmark helps create bookmarks and links to related plan pages, details, sections, and other views.

Together, these tools can reduce repetitive measuring, counting, scale setup, and plan navigation. Insulation estimators can use the AI-assisted first pass as a starting point, then review and refine the quantities in PlanSwift before connecting them to insulation assemblies and formulas. The results are not a finished insulation estimate.

How do insulation contractors calculate material, labor, waste, and costs in PlanSwift?

PlanSwift lets insulation contractors connect measured areas, lengths, and counts to custom assemblies and formulas for project-specific calculations. Your team can build estimating logic for different R-values, insulation materials, installation methods, labor rates, waste factors, and other cost assumptions. As quantities or pricing change, you can update the takeoff or estimating setup and review the revised costs in the same project. PlanSwift also supports printing and exporting estimates, including Excel reports.

What is insulation takeoff and estimating software?

Insulation takeoff and estimating software helps contractors measure insulation scope from digital construction plans and turn those quantities into a priced bid. PlanSwift combines takeoff and estimating in one platform, so insulation contractors can measure areas, lengths, and counts. They can connect those quantities to assemblies and formulas for materials, labor, waste, and costs. Takeoff BOOST is a suite of AI tools built into PlanSwift that can help speed up supported first-pass takeoff work. Estimators review and adjust the quantities before finalizing the bid.
