Included with every CAD takeoff
A project video and images, built from the drawings.
Every CAD takeoff comes with a 45 second project video and 4 still images, drawn from the project's own CAD layers and contours. Show the job in a bid meeting or send it to the developer. Every number on screen comes from the takeoff workbook.

Proof, line by line
Within 2% of the contractor's bid.
Every quantity is compared with what a contractor actually bid on the same plans. These are the current release, run on 2 subdivisions.

Plan-read utility and paving lines are labeled as such, cite their sheet, and are meant to be checked by an estimator before a bid goes out. Results are from a small number of jobs and are not a guarantee of accuracy on yours.
From the CAD
Add the DWG. Get a measured cut and fill balance.
Most takeoff tools stop at the PDF. Land Takeoffs also reads the CAD: it builds the existing and proposed surfaces from the DWG or LandXML and differences them, cell by cell, into cut, fill, and the net import or export.
Before it states a balance, it asks for what the drawings do not carry: strip depth, pavement section, and subgrade. Those decide the number an estimator actually bids.

Three steps, all in your browser.
You never have to touch an API.

With Google, Microsoft, or email. Your first takeoff is free, no card.

Upload a plan set
The stamped PDF, the CAD file, or both. Up to 200 MB per file.

Open the project and read quantities, sheet by sheet
Every line names the sheet it came from. Download the Excel bid sheet and the PDF summary. Anything the plans do not show is listed, with what would resolve it.
For teams who want software to do it
Same upload. Same quantities. Called by software.
An API is a way for your own software to upload a set and ask for quantities. MCP is how Claude and ChatGPT use Land Takeoffs. Both use the same account, the same credits, and the same results you see in the browser.
The API
POST /v1/takeoffs plan_set = stamped-civil-set.pdf GET /v1/jobs/{id}/result{ "description": "Storm pipe, 15 in RCP", "value": 11263, "unit": "LF", "source_sheet": "C3.11", "confidence": "high"}
If you build internal tools, this is a normal HTTPS API.
MCP
On this stamped set, how many LF of 15 inch RCP?
Using Land Takeoffs
11,263 LF of 15 inch RCP sitewide, summed from 123 printed callouts on the 15 storm plan sheets (C3.11 to C3.25). That covers all 310 lots, about 147 acres. Want the Excel bid sheet?
MCP is how Claude logs in and asks the plan for you.
What is MCP? A plug-in that lets Claude or ChatGPT use Land Takeoffs the same way you do in the browser.
