The six things that matter most
If you only read one section of this page, read this one.
2D takeoff on any drawing
Measure areas, lengths, counts, volumes and perimeters directly on PDF, CAD and scanned plans — with auto-scaling and layer control.
3D & BIM takeoff
Extract quantities straight from the model with automated, model-based quantity extraction — then work it alongside your 2D pipeline.
AI-assisted automation
Automatic object detection, automatic quantity extraction and OCR text recognition do the repetitive work so you can focus on the numbers.
Real-time collaboration
Multi-user collaboration with live syncing and role-based permissions, so estimators, QSs and contractors work the same project at once.
Open integrations
A public API and SDK, plus out-of-the-box connections to Excel, ERP, accounting software and BIM platforms — with a growing marketplace.
Any device, zero install
Fully cloud-based with desktop, mobile and tablet support. Nothing to install, nothing to update, nothing tied to one machine.
Runs wherever your team already works
No installs, no dongles, no hardware refresh. eMeasure is a cloud application that opens in a browser tab on whatever device is in front of you.
