Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid is construction takeoff and estimating software for contractors and estimators working from digital plans. It supports 2D measurements, object counting, drawing overlays, reusable styles and libraries, and AI-assisted takeoff through Takeoff Boost. Plans can be provided as PDF, CAD, JPG, or TIFF files, with Excel and PDF export options. The product is positioned for general contractors and specialty trades handling commercial construction estimates, particularly established teams that need takeoff, estimating, and bid workflows in one connected process.
The strongest workflow advantage is the connection between takeoff and estimating. On-Screen Takeoff supports multi-condition measurement, AI-assisted area, linear, and count takeoff, plus automatic counting of objects, annotations, and callouts. Overlay comparison helps teams review drawing revisions, while reusable conditions, templates, styles, and libraries can standardize recurring work. Quick Bid adds material, labor, overhead, profit, change-order, and proposal workflows. Supplier eQuotes and Bid Navigator extend the process into supplier and bid management, with customizable reports, proposals, and accounting-friendly exports.
Pricing is contact sales, with plans varying by team size, trade specialties, and edition. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card. Platform coverage includes Windows and web, and integrations include Quick Bid, Excel, and ConstructConnect Project Intelligence. The product page lists older supported Windows versions, so teams should confirm compatibility before purchase. Choose On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid when revision review, reusable estimating resources, supplier quotes, and connected bid management matter. Teams seeking 3D takeoff or straightforward published pricing should consider a different fit.
