Planmetry includes a complete set of tools for fast and accurate quantity takeoff directly from PDF drawings. The platform evolves continuously, and new features are released regularly to make your workflow even more efficient.
Latest additions: automatic scale detection (AI), object recognition (AI), wall surface area measurement, redesigned measurement tools, improved tool management and enhanced visibility and color-coding controls.
Measure lengths, areas, volumes and object counts with precision on top of any PDF drawing. Planmetry supports both Metric and Imperial units, so you can work naturally wherever your projects are. All measurements sync automatically to your quantity takeoff list for clean, traceable data.
Create measurement tools tailored to your workflow. Choose whether a tool measures length, area, volume or units, and adjust colours, symbols, line styles and behaviour. Add material and labour cost data to turn every measurement into structured, cost-ready information.
All measurements are organised into a clear quantity takeoff list where you can view, filter, group and edit the data. Export to Excel or CSV without formatting issues or retyping—your quantities stay clean, structured and compatible with cost-estimation workflows.
Your projects are stored securely in the cloud and saved automatically as you work. You can switch devices at any time—desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile—and continue exactly where you left off without managing local files or updates.
AI helps you work faster and more accurately: it detects drawing scale automatically and recognises recurring objects. This reduces repetitive steps, speeds up project setup and improves accuracy in large or complex drawings.
The interface is optimised for every screen size. On desktop, floating menus and tool panels give you a full and spacious workspace. On mobile, the measuring workflow is redesigned for touch interaction—fast, accurate and smooth on any phone or tablet.
Every measurement in Planmetry becomes usable data. Add names, locations, attributes and cost information directly while measuring. Your quantity takeoff list is not just a report—it’s a structured dataset ready for cost estimation, analysis and integration with your workflow.
Floating menus, smart toolbars and a modern interface make Planmetry quick to learn and efficient to use. All essential tools are always within reach, and the workspace adapts to your actions—keeping your attention on the drawing instead of the software.
This section contains answers to common questions and basic information about the app and how to use it.
Planmetry is a browser-based quantity takeoff application that turns PDF drawings into structured, usable data.
Simply upload a drawing, and Planmetry helps you get started immediately—scale can be detected automatically using AI or set manually. You can then measure lengths, areas, volumes, and object counts using fully customizable tools tailored to your workflow.
All measurements are visualized directly on the drawing and automatically organized into a structured quantity takeoff list. This means your data is not just measured—it’s ready for cost estimation, analysis, and export without additional formatting.
Planmetry works entirely in your browser — no installation, no updates and no local files. The interface is fast, intuitive and easy to learn, and your projects are stored securely in the cloud and saved automatically. You can work seamlessly across desktop, tablet and mobile.
Yes. Planmetry currently offers a free plan, and a free version will continue to be available in the future. Additional paid plans with advanced features will be released later.
Planmetry focuses on quantity takeoff, which is often the slowest and most error-prone part of the cost estimation process.
It is not a full ERP or accounting system, but it goes beyond simple measurement.
With Planmetry, you can:
This allows you to structure your takeoff exactly the way your company works — whether you finalize pricing inside Planmetry or continue the process in your own cost estimation software.
Yes. All measurements are automatically collected in the quantity takeoff list.
You can export your data as:
The export includes all quantities and calculated totals from your material list, and you can also export the drawing as an image with your measurement markings visible. This makes it easy to continue pricing, reporting, sharing, or documentation in other systems.
Planmetry does not currently offer direct API integrations. However, integrations and automated data migration tools for selected partner software are planned for future releases.
Instead of fixed integrations, Planmetry gives you full control over your material list structure. You can:
This allows you to design your quantity takeoff to match the required format of your external cost estimation or ERP software — so when you export the file, the data is already in the correct structure and order.
Yes. You can easily measure floor areas, wall areas, surface areas, lengths and volumes directly from PDF drawings. Tool styles and cost data can be fully customised for different construction workflows, and all measurements transfer directly to the takeoff list.
Absolutely. You can create tools for pipes, ducts, fittings and equipment, including length-based and unit-based tools. Tools can also include material and labour cost data. Measurements are quick, accurate and automatically organised in the takeoff list.
Yes. Tools for cables, conduits, fixtures and electrical components can be easily built using custom measurement tools. You can measure in linear meters or feet and count pieces with precision.
Yes. Planmetry supports both Metric and Imperial systems. You can switch between meters/feet and square or cubic units at any time.
Yes. The new Planmetry interface is fully mobile-optimised. Measuring works smoothly with touch gestures, and the interface adapts to smaller screens with floating menus and simplified workflows.
No. Planmetry runs directly in your browser. You always use the latest version automatically — no installations, updates or device-specific setups.
