Floor-plan takeoff API: measurements straight from the PDF.
Send a vector floor-plan PDF and get, per sheet, room square footage and perimeters, wall linear feet by thickness, door counts, and an overlay image of every measured room.

Failed sheets, sheets with no rooms, and the demo sheet are free.

What you get
- Room areas (SF) and perimeters, plus total floor area.
- Wall linear feet (centerline), a wall schedule by thickness, and wall surface at your wall height.
- Doors counted by leaf width, with uncertain ones flagged for review.
- An overlay PNG that shades and numbers every room.
- A self-check of the scale against printed dimensions and printed room areas.
How it works
Send the PDF.
A link to the plan, the pages to measure and the scale.
Review the sheet.
The overlay and the scale check show what was measured and what to double-check.
Use the numbers.
Feed the quantities into your estimate, spreadsheet or software.
Questions
Which PDFs work?
Vector PDFs exported from CAD or BIM. Sheets that can’t be measured fail without charge.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. The demo on my Tools page measures a public-domain sample sheet: 701.7 SF across 5 rooms, with 7 doors.
How accurate is it?
Every sheet reports how well the scale and areas agree with the printed values, and flags rooms to review before you price.
