Flooring Takeoff Software Built for Flooring Contractors

Togal.AI is an AI-assisted flooring takeoff software that measures room areas, linear footage, and floor finish counts directly from your drawing set, so a package that used to take two weeks can go out in two days.
‍
Upload the plans, run the Togal button, and spend your time checking quantities against the finish schedule instead of tracing every room by hand.

Flooring takeoff software that's 4X faster

Every takeoff in the flooring industry starts the same way. The plan shows you the room. The finish schedule tells you what goes in it. Your estimator still has to match the two across every room on every floor.

Togal.AI brings that work together. Measure square footage by room and finish, then capture the linear footage behind base, transitions, and other details without starting the takeoff over.

Flooring quantities come down to knowing what that square footage actually is: which finish, which room, which level. Handling both in one pass is where flooring estimators improve efficiency without trimming scope.

What slows flooring estimators down

Flooring rarely loses a bid on the unit price. It loses on quantity accuracy and on bid dates that arrive before the takeoff is finished.

Want to see how much faster Togal is than your current software?

01
Repeated Layouts

Room-by-room repetition.

A 200-key hotel or a 30-story tower is the same suite layout over and over, taken off one instance at a time.

02
Mixed Finishes

Multiple finishes in one space.

Carpet in the corridor, LVT at the elevator lobby, sheet vinyl in the back of house, tile in the wet areas, and a threshold at every change, inside a footprint you already traced.

03
Secondary Measurements

The base and the transitions come second.

Perimeter linear footage and transition strips are a separate pass of manual measurements, which is where they get skipped when the deadline compresses.

04
Schedule Changes

Late finish schedule changes.

An addendum swaps a tile pattern, and now you are re-checking hundreds of rooms with no reliable way to see what moved.

How Togal runs a flooring takeoff, one pass per room

Rooms measured on upload

Drop in the digital plans and hit the green Togal button. Togal detects the spaces, measures the areas, and traces the linear runs around them, including the sheets you have not opened yet. What comes back is a starting quantity set with every room delineated, which is where your judgment begins.

Find one pattern across every sheet

Draw a box around something once, then search the whole set for it.

  • Pattern Search finds a tile layout everywhere it repeats, including sheets where it appears at a different scale.

  • Image Search counts door openings for your transition strips and thresholds without paging through the door schedule.

  • Text Search pulls every room tagged with a given finish code, and works on scanned drawings as well as clean vector PDFs.

One suite, placed everywhere it repeats

Repeating Groups is built for the projects flooring lives on. Take off one unit in full - areas, linear footage, finishes - then place it across every identical room in the building.

A 30-story tower of matching suites takes less time than running 30 separate takeoffs, and changing the unit changes it everywhere.

See what changes before it costs you

  • 3D visualization surfaces the level changes, ramps, and stair landings a plan view flattens, the ones that become installation problems nobody priced

  • Drawing comparison shows what moved between the bid set and the addendum, so a swapped finish is something you see rather than something you find later

Everything Togal measures for flooring

Take a Tour

Flooring types on one job rarely match: carpet tile in the offices, stone at the entry, hardwood, engineered wood, and laminate in the amenity spaces. Accurate flooring takeoffs cover everything in the scope, not just the field area.

Areas

  • Floor area by room

  • Measured areas grouped by finish type

  • Areas split where two materials meet inside one space

  • Area by level and by building

Linear

  • Wall base and cove base perimeter

  • Transition and threshold runs

  • Borders, feature strips, and inset bands

  • Stair nosings and landings

Counts

  • Rooms by finish type

  • Door openings for thresholds

  • Floor-mounted fixtures to deduct

  • Repeating unit counts across floors

Cross-checks

  • Room tags matched against the finish schedule

  • Quantities compared between drawing revisions

  • Spec references pulled from the project manual

From takeoff to estimate

Togal.AI handles the takeoff, and the quantities move into whatever estimating solution you price in. If you are shopping for the best flooring estimating software, that split is worth holding onto: Togal measures, your estimating tool applies material costs and labor costs, and nobody retypes a figure between takeoff and estimating.

What else comes with Togal

Auto-Naming

A high-rise finish package runs several hundred sheets. Togal names and organizes the set on upload in just a few clicks, so you are not typing sheet numbers before you have measured anything.

Togal.CHAT

Ask the flooring spec a question instead of reading it: moisture mitigation, adhesive callouts, attic stock, warranty terms. It answers from your project information only, and drafts the RFI when the answer is not in there.

Cloud access

The takeoff lives in the browser, so nothing installs on the office computer and the estimator and the person walking the site see the same current numbers.

Support that answers

Median first response is 4 minutes, median resolution 4 hours, from a team that includes former estimators.

SOC 2 Type II

Independently audited systems and processes covering how your drawings are stored and handled, which is what the GC's IT department asks about before releasing their set.

Who Togal is built for

Commercial flooring contractors bidding steadily enough to keep someone estimating full time, on flooring projects like multifamily, hospitality, healthcare, education, and tenant improvement. If your flooring business chases high-rise and repeating-unit work, the fit is strongest, because that is where the repetition compounds.

48 hours to bid a 30-story high rise

Total Flooring Contractors had two days to price a 30-story residential tower that would normally have taken two weeks to take off.

They finished inside the window, and Togal surfaced costly errors in the drawings before submission. They won the contract, and the following year they won another large project with the same construction company.

Questions flooring estimators ask

Can flooring takeoff software import blueprints and PDFs and measure areas automatically?

Yes. Upload the PDF set, organize the drawings, and run the Togal Button to begin measuring the spaces.

Togal.AI works with scanned drawings as well as vector PDFs, so your estimator isn't limited to perfectly formatted digital plans. You still review the scale and resolve ambiguous drawings, but the repetitive measuring is handled before your estimator starts tracing rooms by hand.

How does flooring takeoff software calculate material waste and cuts?

Togal.AI measures the quantity. Your estimator applies the waste factor.

That matters because waste isn't the same on every installation. A herringbone LVT layout and broadloom carpet in a corridor can have very different allowances. Your team keeps control of those numbers and applies them to quantities measured from the current drawing set.

How long does it take a flooring estimator to learn Togal?

Most estimators run real takeoffs the same week.

In the University of Kansas study, a participant with no prior experience on either platform needed roughly 15 minutes of orientation on Togal against a couple of hours on On-Screen Takeoff. Onboarding includes a custom session with the Togal team, and a tutorial library sits behind the product for whoever joins later.

Does Togal work for residential flooring bids as well as commercial?

Yes. Togal.AI works for both residential and commercial flooring bids.

The biggest time savings tend to show up where layouts repeat - multifamily, hospitality, senior living, and similar projects - but a custom residential project can run through the same takeoff workflow.

What happens when the finish schedule changes in an addendum?

Run a drawing comparison between the two sets and Togal shows you what changed rather than making you hunt for it. If the change hits a room type you took off as a repeating unit, updating that unit updates every instance. A re-check of several hundred rooms becomes a review of the rooms that actually moved.

Is our plan data secure once we upload it?

Togal.AI is SOC 2 Type II certified, with independently audited controls around how customer data is handled.

Your drawings stay within your account and are accessible to the people you authorize. When a GC asks how their plans are handled before releasing a set, Togal.AI has the security documentation to answer that question.

Does Togal do the estimating for you?

No. Togal handles the measuring and counting. Deciding which finish belongs in a room the drawings left ambiguous, catching the detail the architect drew inconsistently, setting the waste factor, and pricing the labor are all still yours. Junior estimators still learn the scope, they just learn it without spending two weeks clicking corners.
