Framing takeoffs for ADUs.

What an ADU takeoff has to get right.
Small but real
A small unit still needs a real bid; margin is tight and the framing has to be right.
Conversions
Garage and basement conversions: new framing separated from existing, tie-ins counted.
Openings and beams
Windows, doors, and the garage-door header on conversions — sized and counted.
Checked before your bid
Every quantity ties to the line on the plan it came from — check the draft before you bid it.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a takeoff service?
Not a queue you send plans into. Upload the ADU plans and the AI does the framing takeoff — typically 2–6 hours — and you check it against the drawings before it goes out. Your first ADU, we run together on a call.
I don't have anyone to do takeoffs. Does this still help?
That's who it's for. The AI drafts the takeoff and the material list; checking a draft takes a fraction of the time counting does, and we walk your first one with you.
Does it handle garage and basement conversions?
Yes. New framing is traced apart from what stays, tie-ins are counted, and openings like the garage-door header are sized and listed.
How long does it take?
Typically 2–6 hours for the draft and material list, and never more than a day. Larger or more complex plan sets take longer.
What does it cost?
A subscription covers the workspace, and AI takeoff adds a fee per project based on the size of the plan set — you see it before the AI runs. Tracing by hand has no project fee. See the Pricing page, or book a demo and we'll price your projects.
How do I know the count is right?
Every quantity ties back to the line on the plan it came from. Click a number to see where it was measured, and fix the trace if it's off — the totals follow.
Can I see it on my own plans?
Yes. Book a demo and we'll run Aximos on one of your plan sets with you, so you can check the draft against the drawings yourself.
