The QuoteAI alternative to TakeoffQS for trade contractors
QuoteAI automates takeoff with AI symbol detection and turns the quantities into a priced, branded quote — one workflow from floor plan to bid.
Why contractors choose QuoteAI over TakeoffQS
AI does the counting
QuoteAI detects and counts symbols on the floor plan automatically, instead of relying entirely on manual on-screen takeoff.
Takeoff becomes a quote
Go beyond quantities — QuoteAI turns the takeoff into a costed, branded PDF quote in the same tool.
Trade-focused
Purpose-built for electrical, plumbing, and MEP contractors rather than general quantity surveying.
Your own pricing built in
Counted quantities flow straight into your custom price library, so a takeoff produces a real, costed bid.
Minutes per plan
Automated detection turns an evening of manual measuring and counting into a few minutes of review.
Easy to switch
Start free, run a real plan through QuoteAI, and compare it against your current takeoff workflow.
A QuoteAI vs TakeoffQS comparison
Looking for a TakeoffQS alternative?
TakeoffQS is takeoff and quantity-surveying software focused on measuring quantities from drawings. QuoteAI covers takeoff too — but automates the counting with AI symbol detection and then turns the takeoff into a finished, priced quote.
If your goal is not just quantities but a ready-to-send bid, QuoteAI closes that last step in the same workflow.
Where QuoteAI is different
QuoteAI's AI reads the floor plan and counts the symbols for you, so much of the takeoff is automated rather than measured by hand. Those quantities then flow into your price library to produce a costed, branded quote.
For electrical, plumbing, and MEP contractors, that means one tool takes you from the drawing all the way to the bid — instead of stopping at a quantity takeoff.
