How zzTakeoff works for Roofing
A simple three-step workflow to move from plans to estimate-ready quantities.
Upload your plans
Measure quantities
Price it & bid it
Faster roofing takeoffs. Accurate bids.
zzTakeoff helps roofing estimators keep scope clear, work through drawings efficiently, and tighten up bid prep.
- Measure roof areas, ridges, and valleys right off the plans
- Auto-calculate squares with slope factors and waste applied
- Price out material, labor, and equipment in one place
Stay on Top of Revisions
When drawings shift, your team needs a faster way to review what changed. zzTakeoff makes it easy to compare affected sheets and verify roofing quantities so you do not have to start from scratch.
- Overlay old and new drawings to spot every change instantly
- See exactly where roof sections or details changed
- Update your quantities in minutes instead of starting over
Structure Your Estimate by Scope of Work
Organize your roofing takeoffs the way you bid the work, so quantities roll up into a breakdown that is easy to review, price, and hand off.
- Phase your takeoff by roof section, building, or phase
- Categorize by roofing system, pitch, or material
- Itemize your bid breakdown to match how the GC wants to see it

Why Roofing contractors choose zzTakeoff
Use a simpler digital workflow to capture quantities, review scope, and keep your estimating process consistent.
Roofing math done for you
Measure plan-view areas once and slope factors auto-convert footprints into true surface squares with waste applied. No spreadsheet gymnastics or math errors.
One measurement, multiple quantities
A single roof takeoff can drive shingles, underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, and labor via assemblies. Measure once, quantify everything.
Fast tools for repetitive scope
Count tools handle vents, pipe boots, curbs, and skylights across a full roof plan.
Search the plans, don't hunt
Instantly find every callout like "ice and water" or "standing seam" 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 roof section or building and experience the power of teamwork.
Handle revisions without redoing work
Overlay and compare when roof layouts or details change, then adjust only the affected sections 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.

Roofing estimating software FAQs
You can measure roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys, eaves, rakes, flashing, penetrations, accessories, and virtually any other roofing item. Organize your takeoffs by roof section, slope, building, or phase to generate material, labor, and equipment quantities that are easier to review and estimate.
Yes. Whether your project has multiple roof sections, elevations, or roofing systems, zzTakeoff keeps each area organized while combining everything into one complete estimate. This makes complex roofing projects easier to review and estimate.
When revised drawings arrive, upload the new sheets and use the overlay feature to compare them against the previous version, making changes easy to spot. Then update only the affected roof sections or details instead of remeasuring the entire project, and your roofing totals stay current for the revised estimate.
Yes. zzTakeoff can automatically convert measured roof areas into roofing squares, making it easy to estimate projects with multiple roof sections or roofing systems. Estimating assumptions can be customized for each area as needed.
Measure roof areas on plan-view drawings and apply a slope factor, so a 6/12 or 9/12 roof is calculated at its true surface area instead of its footprint. zzTakeoff applies the factor automatically as you measure, and grouping sections by pitch keeps each factor accurate.
Yes. Keep shingle or metal steep-slope areas separate from TPO, EPDM, or modified low-slope sections within the same project. Each system carries its own material, fastening, and labor assumptions, while everything rolls up into one complete estimate.
Yes. Roof accessories are just as important as the roofing itself. zzTakeoff lets you estimate pipe boots, vents, gutters, drains, skylights, and other accessories alongside your roofing within the same project.
Yes. zzTakeoff helps you estimate the complete roofing system, including underlayment and ice-and-water shield. Each component can have its own estimating assumptions to generate accurate quantities for your estimate.
Yes. Whether you're replacing an existing roof or estimating a brand-new one, zzTakeoff helps you build complete, organized roofing estimates for projects of any type or size.
