Auto Takeoff. Start with
a takeoff draft, not a blank page.
Auto Takeoff uses AI to read a plan page and generate a first pass of walls, areas, ceilings, windows, and counts. Review the results, make your adjustments, and move into pricing with less repetitive measuring.
Takeoff BOOST™ uses artificial intelligence to provide results. Review and verify results before using them in an estimate.
What Auto Takeoff does
Generate a first pass in seconds
Run Auto Takeoff on a plan page and get a starting point for your takeoff without tracing every measurement by hand.
Measure the Conditions your plans show
Auto Takeoff can identify walls, wall types, footprint areas, net areas, ceilings, windows, doors, and building fixtures when the plan provides the information needed to detect them.
Organize results by Condition
Results are added to a folder by condition, making it easier to review related quantities and keep your takeoff organized.
Keep working while AI processes your plans
Auto Takeoff runs in the background, so you can continue working in PlanSwift while your results are prepared.
Edit the results like any other takeoff
Auto Takeoff returns normal PlanSwift takeoff items and takeoffs that you can review, adjust, reassign, delete, or supplement with manual measurements.
Start with built-in presets
Choose the measurement types you need and run Auto Takeoff without building a complex setup before your first pass.
Best fit for a first look at any new plan set, before you commit hours to a full manual takeoff.
How Auto Takeoff Works
1
Open your job
Open a PlanSwift job with your plan pages already imported and confirm the page scale before running Auto Takeoff.
2
Choose what to measure
Select the plan page and measurement types you want Auto Takeoff to process, then click run.
3
Review and refine
Check the results, adjust anything that needs attention, and add your own measurements before you price the estimate.
These features use Artificial Intelligence to provide results. It is your responsibility to verify results to ensure accuracy.
Skip the blank-page start
Get a usable first pass of common quantities before you begin detailed review, so every bid starts with momentum.
Spend time on judgment, not tracing
Let AI handle repetitive detection and measurement while you focus on scope, assumptions, pricing, and the details that shape a strong bid.
Check project fit sooner
Use an early draft to understand a plan page’s scope before investing hours in a complete manual takeoff.
Review more without losing control
Auto Takeoff gives you a head start, not a final estimate. You stay responsible for checking, adjusting, and finalizing the quantities.
Keep your existing PlanSwift workflow
Results come back as standard takeoff items you can review, edit, and price in the PlanSwift estimating workflow you already know.

Auto Takeoff uses AI to generate a first pass of takeoff results from a plan page, including measurements such as walls, areas, ceilings, windows, doors, and counts when the plan supports detection.
No. Auto Takeoff creates a starting point for your takeoff. You still review, edit, add, and finalize the quantities before using them to price a bid.
Few small tweaks that I want to make:
- Let's replace the "thanks for bearing" with the scale of this one to "thanks to everyone who contributed to getting this across the line."
- Let's make sure we don't have any em dashes in here.
I need this to not read as AI-generated, but it's just an official email.Few small tweaks that I want to make:

Yes. Auto Takeoff can organize wall measurements by labeled wall type and can identify ceiling areas by common ceiling patterns or labeled ceiling types when that information is present on the plan.
Yes. Auto Takeoff results are normal PlanSwift takeoff items and takeoffs. You can review, edit, reassign, delete, or add measurements as needed.
Add the missing measurement manually or adjust the returned takeoff. Auto Takeoff is designed to provide a first pass, so review is an important part of the workflow.
