Measuring by hand — errors

You measure areas off a paper drawing with a ruler and calculator. One error and there is too little or too much material.

📝

Ruler and calculator

Measure each wall by hand, multiply, total. Slow and error-prone.

❓

Scale is off

The drawing is printed at a different scale — and all calculations are wrong.

📉

Re-typing into the estimate

You measured the area, now you retype it into the estimate by hand. Another place for errors.

How it works

A drawing in 3 steps

From PDF to area in the estimate — no ruler.

01

Upload the PDF

Upload the drawing as a PDF straight into the project.

02

Calibrate the scale

Set one known distance — the system understands the scale for the whole drawing.

03

Trace the walls

Outline the shape — the area in m² is calculated and saved to the project and estimate.

Features

From a PDF drawing to area in the estimate, no calculator.

📍

Scale calibration

One known distance and the whole drawing measures accurately.

⚙️

Automatic area

Trace a shape — m² is calculated instantly, no calculator.

📄

Saves to the project

Measured walls go straight into the project structure and estimate.

🗂️
