A scale you can trust
CREW25 reads each sheet’s scale from its label. If labels disagree or none is found, the sheet says Check scale, because a wrong scale would misprice the whole job.
Takeoff Software for Builders and Trades
Takeoff software for builders and trades, on the job itself: drop in the PDF plans, check the scale, and measure lengths, wall areas, areas and counts on screen. Each item is priced from your price book, and one button turns the takeoff into a quote.
Takeoffs
Measure where the job lives.
Priced as you measure
Each item is priced from a price book item or a bundle, so a metre of stud wall carries its studs, plates, fixings and labour.
One job, several takeoffs
Keep the main scope, a variation and an option as separate takeoffs, each sending to its own quote.

Questions
Takeoff Software for Builders and Trades: questions and answers.
Last updated October 2026
- What plans can I measure in CREW25?
- PDF plans, and JPG, PNG or TIFF images, which become PDFs. Each file can be up to 25 MB. CAD files are not supported yet.
- How does CREW25 set the scale?
- It reads each sheet’s scale label. If labels disagree or none is found, the sheet is marked Check scale, and you set it by clicking both ends of a known dimension and entering its length.
- Does CREW25 do AI takeoff?
- Not yet. Measuring is by hand today. AI that reads plans and suggests what to measure, for you to check, is planned.
- Can I import a takeoff from Houzz Pro or Excel?
- Yes. The quote editor imports an Excel or CSV takeoff export, such as one from Houzz Pro, and turns each row into a quote line.
- Who can use takeoffs?
- The office. Takeoffs live on the job’s Takeoffs tab in the office app. Viewing plans in the mobile apps is planned.
