🚀 Feature Request: Live In-App Chat for Takeoff Collaborators


Hi ZZ Takeoff Team,


Imagine two or more team members working on the same takeoff in real time, with built-in chat to ask questions and confirm details without leaving ZZ Takeoff. This would save time, prevent mistakes, and make collaboration seamless.

Why This Feature Would Be Valuable:


  • Instant Communication: No need to switch to Slack or Teams; chat happens directly in context.
  • Faster Decisions: Estimators and managers can resolve questions instantly.
  • Reduced Miscommunication: Conversations stay linked to the takeoff itself.
  • Better Collaboration: A “Google Docs + Slack” style experience for smoother teamwork.


Use Case:


Two estimators working on a commercial project can quickly confirm measured areas and resolve questions inside ZZ Takeoff—no calls or emails required.

Thank you for considering this!

I also would like to be able to move/minimize/close the floating chat bubble as well

Thanks for the suggestions and feedback. How long would you expect the chat history to last? We could go all the way from just real-time communication (with no stored history) all the way up to storing the chat history permanently (forever). Just curious if you have any input on this.
