Takeoff Software for General Contractors
Togal.AI is cloud-based takeoff software built for general contractors. Upload your construction plans, run the Togal button, and automatically get square footage, material quantities, and counts measured in minutes while every estimator in every office works from the same takeoff data.
Construction takeoff software for General Contractors, 4X faster
Togal reads the full plan set and returns measured quantities in minutes, scope by scope, so bid volume stops being decided by how fast one estimator can trace.
What slows a GC estimating team down
An estimator who spends five or six hours a day measuring can only chase so many jobs. This makes bid volume a huge constraint.
Repetitive work, clicking every corner.
Older digital takeoff tools make you click each point of every wall, room, and fixture. That manual work takes days before you can price anything.
Version drift between offices.
Export to PDF, email it out, wait for markups, re-upload. Somewhere in that loop, two estimators end up on different drawings, and the confused phone calls start.
Bids you passed on because you didn’t have time.
When one takeoff eats a week, the next three invitations go unanswered.
Human error nobody caught.
One missed scope line moves project costs on a mid-size job, and it surfaces long after the contract is signed.
How Togal runs a takeoff for general contractors, every scope in one project
One button, the whole plan set
Press the green Togal button and the quantity takeoff runs itself. Togal automatically detects, measures, and compares the elements you point it at, across one page or every page, cutting takeoff time from a week to minutes. The scope calls stay with your estimator.
See every scope at once
Combined View stacks multiple specialty trades on the same drawing, each one toggled on or off.
Overlay drywall, framing, and the paint over both, then find where scopes meet and where they leave a gap
Turn one estimator's work off to review it without losing the rest of the takeoff
Check what a sub carried against what the construction plans show, before the number goes into the bid
Find one detail everywhere it appears
Image Search works like Ctrl+F across construction plans. Search text, an image, or a visual pattern, and every instance lights up - box one tile layout on page 12 and you get every match on every sheet. Pattern Search handles repeated work like brickwork without anyone tracing it by hand.
Take it off once, apply it everywhere
Repeating Groups is the feature construction professionals reach for most.
Take off a unit or assembly once, then apply it across every matching instance
Label all 84 junior suites in a hotel in one action instead of room by room
Change a spec once and it updates everywhere that group appears
Keep naming consistent across construction teams, which makes the export usable first time
Everything Togal measures on your plan set
An accurate takeoff starts with knowing what the digital tool actually detects. Togal handles quantifying materials across these groups.

Walls and partitions
Wall lengths and runs
Wall heights, read in 3D
Partition types by classification
Corners and intersections
Openings and counts
Door counts by type
Window counts by type
Fixture and equipment counts
Any repeating symbol or pattern you draw a box around
Finishes and scope
Floor finishes by material
Paint and wall finish areas
Trim, base, and linear finishes
Casework and millwork counts
Changes between drawing sets
Sheet-to-sheet comparison between revisions
Added, removed, and moved elements
Quantity deltas between versions
From takeoff to estimate
Togal handles the takeoff process. Your construction estimating system builds the bid. The handoff is clean, so nobody retypes calculations into a spreadsheet at 9pm before a due date.
Excel export
Send the full quantity set out in the structure your team already prices from.
Ediphi
Feed the takeoff straight into your estimate build so quantities and pricing stay in sync.
Zebel
Push quantities into conceptual estimating and benchmarking.
Servicetitan
Move measured quantities into service and operations without re-entry.
For self-perform drywall and framing, Assemblies returns the full component set behind a wall: runs, corners, screws, joists, what is load bearing, what gets drywall. Additional focused takeoffs are in production at Togal.
What else comes with Togal
Real-time collaboration
Invite other construction pros, inside or outside your business, to view, edit, or comment, with permissions you control.
Drawing comparison
Drop in a new revision and see what moved, what was added, what disappeared.
Working remotely
Open a takeoff from the office, a trailer, or a hotel room, anywhere with an internet connection.
Every common file type
Upload the digital blueprints you already receive without converting them first.
3D visualization
Catch the dimension errors that a flat plan hides. Instantly show an owner what the finished scope looks like in 3D.
Togal.CHAT
Ask questions about your own drawings. Togal.CHATanswers from those, and nothing else.
Who Togal is built for
Tools built for one estimator rarely survive a department. Togal fits if you have a dedicated estimator and enough volume that takeoff speed decides how many jobs you can chase.
Have multiple offices? The Togal difference is felt even more, since the export-and-email loop disappears.

Questions estimators ask
Is Togal takeoff software or estimating software?
Togal is takeoff software built for estimators, with output that feeds the estimate. Togal measures, counts, and classifies everything on the drawings, then hands those quantities to wherever you build your bid through Excel export or a direct integration with Zebel, ServiceTitan, or Ediphi.
How long before our team is productive in Togal?
Most customers are up and running within a couple of weeks, and the learning curve is short enough that estimators who came off paper plans or a legacy digital takeoff tool are productive quickly. Larger organizations take longer, because rolling out across a department changes process rather than software alone. Your dedicated onboarding team plans that part with you.
Do we have to change how our estimators already work?
Togal slots into the estimating process you already run: open the drawings, measure, classify, export, price. It replaces the manual takeoff inside that sequence and leaves the rest alone. Most teams keep their estimating platform, their bid calendar, and their naming conventions, then standardize classification because Togal makes it repeatable.
What happens to our drawings after we upload them?
Your plans stay in a secure, walled-off environment inside your account. They are not sent out to the open internet, and they are not used to answer anyone else's questions. Togal is SOC 2 Type II compliant and GDPR compliant, and larger customers routinely put us through full IT and legal review before signing. If your security team needs documentation for that review, ask and we will send it.
How much time and material waste can a general contractor save using takeoff software?
Coastal Construction saves 140 to 230 hours per project and cuts preconstruction effort by 50 to 65 percent, an estimated $3.2M a year. A peer-reviewed University of Kansas study measured up to 76% time savings against On Screen Takeoff. Material waste is harder to pin to one number, since it comes from catching problems early rather than from the takeoff itself: find a missed scope or a wrong dimension before the bid goes out and you avoid the over-ordering and rework that follow.
Can we try Togal on a live bid before we commit?
Yes. Larger preconstruction teams typically start with a paid pilot of around three months, which gives you enough real bids to compare takeoff speed before and after, test adoption across the team, and run your security review in parallel. Smaller teams usually start with a demo and a tour of their own plan set.
