Measure the curb once. Assemblies price the rest.
The takeoff is the part people picture. Then comes the part nobody puts in a brochure: exporting the quantities and typing them back into a spreadsheet, row by row, price by price. Assemblies end that hand-off. Attach a priced recipe to a construction class, and one measurement reports the material, labor, equipment and subcontract that go with it, at your rates.
Attach a recipe to the class.
An assembly is a list of what one unit of the class consumes. A flat quantity where the math is flat, a formula where it is not. Waste sits on the material lines, round-up on the ones you buy in lengths, and anything the plan cannot tell you becomes a named variable. Every line points at a resource in your library, which is where its price lives.
Shown: the shipped 18" RCP Storm Pipe preset. Trench width is a class constant; average depth is marked asks on draw.
Draw it. It asks only what the plan can't say.
Trench width never changes, so it never asks. Average depth changes run to run, so the class asks the moment the shape commits, and shows you what that run generates while you type. Set it once for the session, or answer it per run.

Values for the run you just drew
This run generates
Flip the worksheet to Items.
Every run is there with its priced lines under it. Quantities are worked out per shape and then added up, so a rounding or a crew rate stays honest across runs. Waste and round-up apply to the job total. Change the depth on run 2 and run 1 does not move.

PursuitThen close the bid.
The takeoff is half the job. The other half is chasing quotes through inboxes, remembering who you sent plans to, and finding out three weeks later that the GC awarded it to someone else. Pursuit is the CRM and bid command center that carries every opportunity from first contact to signed contract, with the takeoff already attached.
- Every customer, vendor and contact in one place, with the full history behind them
- Quotes, RFIs and RFQs drafted, sent and tracked end to end
- Bid dates, checklists and follow-ups that fire on schedule, not when someone remembers
- Email built in: save an Outlook or Gmail thread to the project in one click
- AI that drafts, summarizes and reads the documents alongside your estimators
Inside PursuitEverything the bid touches, in one place.
A takeoff is one number in a bid. Pursuit holds the rest: the plans and specs, the vendor quotes, the emails, the follow-ups, the due date, and the record of whether you won. Nothing lives in one estimator's inbox.
Ask the project anything.
Drag in plans, specs, geotech reports, addenda and emails. Ask a question the way you would ask a coworker, and the answer comes back cited to the exact document and page. No hunting through a 400 page spec at 4pm the day before the bid.
- Plain-English Q&A across plan sets, specs, emails and notes
- Soils report extraction pulled into structured fields, with citations
- PDF stitching, addenda merged, and a clean version history
The soils report sets frost depth at 42 inches below finished grade. Section 32 11 of the spec calls for 48 inches under all paved areas, so the spec governs. Footing detail 3 on C-402 is drawn to 42 inches and will need a clarification before bid.
Sample project. Answers cite the page they came from.
Every conversation, on the record.
Save an email thread to the project from Outlook or Gmail without leaving your inbox, and it stays attached to the bid. Follow-ups fire on schedule instead of when someone remembers. When the estimator who owned the job is out, the history is still there.
- Outlook add-in and Gmail add-on: save a thread to the project in one click
- Automated vendor and GC follow-up reminders
- Shared bid calendar, checklists per bid stage, and e-signatures on quotes
Know your hit rate. Then bid the work you actually win.
Every bid gets an outcome and a reason. Pursuit turns that into the report most contractors never get to see: which customers award you work, which ones only shop your number, and where your estimators win. Win rate counts decided bids only, so pending work never flatters it.
- Win/loss by customer, project type and region
- AI report builder: describe the report in plain language and it builds it
- Pipeline, quotas and pacing tracked live, not in last Friday's spreadsheet
| Customer | Won | Lost | Win rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kellerman Construction | 9 | 3 | 75% |
| Harbor View Partners | 6 | 4 | 60% |
| Delta Site Group | 4 | 5 | 44% |
| Ridgeline Builders | 2 | 11 | 15% |
Decided bids only. Pending work never flatters the number.
