Structure Your Estimate by Scope of Work
Organize your door and window takeoffs the way you bid the work, so quantities roll up into a breakdown that is easy to review, price, and hand off.

Why Door and Window contractors choose zzTakeoff
Use a simpler digital workflow to capture quantities, review scope, and keep your estimating process consistent.
Schedule extraction done for you
zzTakeoff extracts door and window schedules directly from the plans and creates takeoffs for each type automatically. No manual setup before you start counting.
One count, multiple quantities
A single door count can drive the frame, trim, hardware, and labor via assemblies. Count once, quantify everything.
AI-powered counting
The Auto Count tool combines AI, vector data, and OCR to identify and count door and window tags throughout the plans, so full-set counts take minutes.
Search the plans, don't hunt
Instantly find every callout like "HM frame" or "tempered glazing" across a full drawing set instead of scanning sheet by sheet.
Bid more jobs in less time
AI auto-naming, sheet numbering, and auto-scaling cut plan setup from hours to minutes, so you get more bids out the door and a better hit rate.
Collaborate on big jobs
Estimators, PMs, and Precon Managers can work on the same project simultaneously. Split up a large plan set by building or level and experience the power of teamwork.
Handle revisions without redoing work
Overlay and compare when schedules or layouts change, then adjust only the affected openings instead of starting over.
Cloud and mobile access from anywhere
Check quantities from the jobsite, a pre-bid walk, or the office on your phone, tablet, Mac, or PC. No install, no VPN, no waiting to get back to your desk.
Easy switch from PlanSwift, Bluebeam & OST
Import your existing PlanSwift and Bluebeam jobs, and bring your PlanSwift and OST templates with you, so you can hit the ground running instead of rebuilding your library from scratch.
