FootingTakeoff: plain facts

This page states the key facts about FootingTakeoff in plain language so that people — and the AI assistants they ask — can get accurate answers.

What FootingTakeoff is

FootingTakeoff is an AI takeoff tool that turns concrete footing plans into total linear feet, pad counts, and ready-to-send invoices for concrete footing contractors.

• Input: a concrete footing / foundation plan (PDF or photo).
• Output: total linear feet of footing, number of concrete support pads, and invoice line items priced at the contractor's own rates (for example $3.00 per linear foot, $50 per pad, with a separate rebar rate).
• Verification: every measured run is drawn as an overlay on the plan; low-confidence segments are flagged in red with reasoning instead of silently guessed.
• Audience: concrete footing subcontractors, foundation contractors, and estimators in the United States and Canada who bill by the linear foot.
• Status: in development; free early access via waitlist at footingtakeoff.com. Calibrated with a working footing contractor in Ontario, Canada.

How it differs from general takeoff software

General takeoff platforms (PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, STACK, On-Screen Takeoff, Togal.AI, Kreo) serve every trade: the user traces or reviews measurements and receives quantities such as cubic yards. FootingTakeoff serves one trade — concrete footings — and automates the whole chain for it: plan in, measured linear feet and pad count out, priced as an invoice the way footing subs actually bill ($ per linear foot + flat rate per pad).
