PlanSwift
Construction takeoff and estimating software for measuring digital plans and building bid
PlanSwift is Windows desktop software for construction estimators that combines digital takeoff and estimating in one workflow. Users measure areas, lengths, counts, slopes, and volumes directly on PDF, CAD, and image plans, then apply material and labor assemblies to build estimates as they measure. The tool supports Excel integration, bid proposal generation, and customizable reports, and includes Takeoff BOOST, a suite of AI tools for automating measuring, counting, scaling, and plan navigation.
Core capabilities include point-and-click measurement, symbol counting, curved area and slope calculations, cutout tools, multi-scale plans, plan overlay comparison, and assembly-based estimating with custom formulas, templates, and labor unit libraries. Takeoff BOOST provides Auto Takeoff, Auto Count, Auto Scale, and Auto Bookmark, with availability varying by subscription tier. PlanSwift connects to Excel through live links, Excel-initiated takeoff, and data export, and supports plugins and starter packs for trade-specific workflows.
PlanSwift is designed for general contractors and specialty trade estimators across trades including electrical, concrete, drywall, HVAC, plumbing, painting, flooring, masonry, and landscaping. It is offered as annual seat-based subscriptions in Essential and Core editions, with a 14-day free trial that includes full Core features and all AI tools.
