Interior Construction

Takeoffs for Drywall, Flooring, and Trim Subs

SiteScope gives interior subcontractors quantities straight off a measured floor plan: net wall and ceiling area for drywall, floor area per room, and baseboard run length with door spans removed. Scan the space with an iPhone Pro or trace the drawings you were sent.

  • Photos of framing, blocking, and backing before it is covered
  • Tape and finish punch items marked up on photos

Flooring

  • Floor area per room straight from the scanned plan
  • Room-by-room lines so each floor type prices separately
  • Out-of-square rooms show up in the plan before you cut

Capture, Model, Estimate

Measure once. Every trade prices from the same plan.

  1. 01 · CAPTURE

    Scan existing conditions

    Scan each room with an iPhone or iPad Pro, or trace the GC’s drawing in the web editor. Every wall gets length, height, and openings.

  2. 02 · MODEL

    One plan every trade reads

    Walls, rooms, doors, and windows in a measured floor plan. Change a wall and the quantities that depend on it update.

  3. 03 · ESTIMATE

    Quantities by room and by wall

    Assign materials by square foot (walls, floors, ceilings) or linear foot (base trim). Apply your cost and charge, then export to CSV or share the quote.

Material Takeoffs

Quantities from the Walls You Already Have

The floor plan is the takeoff. Walls, floors, ceilings, and base trim each measure themselves.

  • Opening-aware wall math: doors and windows come off net wall area automatically.
  • Wall regions: split a wall into zones (wainscot, a tile run, an accent) and each gets its own line.
  • Scanned vs estimated: every line shows whether it came from LiDAR, a trace, or a manual override.
  • CSV export: hand quantities to your estimating tool or drop them into a bid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can SiteScope do a drywall takeoff?
Yes, as an area takeoff. SiteScope gives you net wall and ceiling square footage per room with openings deducted, and you assign drywall from your catalog by the square foot. To convert area into sheets for a quick check, use the free drywall calculator.
Does it calculate baseboard and trim?
Yes. A trim material assigned to walls measures the baseboard run length, wall length minus door spans, in linear feet. Add your waste and piece length to get what to order.
Can I use it for flooring estimates?
Yes. Room floor area comes straight from the floor plan, so you can assign flooring per room and price it by the square foot. The flooring calculator covers the quick box math.
Who is this page for?
Subs who need quantities off a plan: drywall, flooring, trim, and the finish trades that follow them. General contractors documenting the whole job should start with the construction page.
Can I work from the GC’s drawings instead of scanning?
Yes. Trace a blueprint image in the web editor, or draw the plan from scratch. Traced lines are marked Estimated rather than Scanned so you know which numbers to verify.
