How It Works

Three Minutes From Floor Plan to Complete Materials List.

Most builders spend 4–6 hours manually working out what materials they need. Measuring walls, counting tiles, estimating paint quantities, figuring out how many sheets of plasterboard — all from memory or rough notes. RenoCalc's floor plan OCR software reads the plan for you and calculates every quantity automatically.

Whether you're doing residential estimating for a full house refurbishment or commercial renovation work across multiple floors, the AI adapts to the plan in front of it. It's digital takeoff software UK builders can actually use — no training required, no manual tracing, just upload and go.

FAQs

Common Questions

What is material takeoff software?

Material takeoff software reads a floor plan or set of drawings and calculates the quantities of materials needed for a construction or renovation project. RenoCalc uses AI to do this from a PDF floor plan in under 3 minutes — covering flooring, tiling, plastering, painting, plumbing, electrics and 6 more trades automatically.

Can RenoCalc do a takeoff from a PDF floor plan?

Yes. Upload any PDF floor plan and RenoCalc's AI will scan it, detect rooms, measure dimensions, and generate a complete material list. It works on hand-drawn plans, architect's drawings, and estate agent PDFs — making it practical building estimate from PDF plans software for everyday builders.

Does it work for residential and commercial renovation projects?

RenoCalc handles residential estimating software use cases — extensions, full refurbs, kitchen and bathroom renovations — as well as commercial renovation estimating. The AI adapts to the plan in front of it and covers all 12 renovation trades in one pass.

Is this the same as digital takeoff software?

Traditional digital takeoff software requires you to manually trace over a plan on screen to measure areas. RenoCalc goes further — it reads the plan automatically using AI, so there's no manual tracing at all. It's closer to what a quantity surveyor does, but done in minutes rather than days.

How much does it cost?

Your first quote is completely free — no credit card required. After that, it's pay-as-you-go from £9.99 per quote, or a subscription from £19.99/month for builders doing regular work. Much less than an hour of your time spent counting materials manually.
