Draw the job once and the quantities follow. Evalation pulls the takeoff from the 3D model for deck, pergola, concrete, and fence work, and builds itemized material lines from your own prices for every other residential trade.
The takeoff is the job you do between the job you sold and the job you build. Measure on site, redraw at the desk, count the sticks, price them against a supplier sheet that moved since last month, and hope nothing got skipped between the tape measure and the spreadsheet.
Every re-entry is a chance to lose a line, and a lost line is margin you gave away before the first truck rolled. Multiply that by a season of bids and the second job you never invoiced anyone for has quietly become your most expensive employee.
In Evalation, the dimensions live in the design. The estimate's line items are built from them, priced from your own material costs, so the number you hand the homeowner and the list you hand the crew come from the same source.
In Evalation, the takeoff is a byproduct of the design, not a separate job.
No separate takeoff tool, no re-keying, no version of the job that only exists in a spreadsheet.
For decks, pergolas, concrete, and fencing, the 3D model carries the dimensions, so the quantities and the priced estimate come out of the design itself. See the concrete version at /for/concrete.
Material lines price from the costs you load into Evalation, so the estimate reflects your suppliers and your market, not a national average.
Overhead and margin ride on every line item. The takeoff doesn't just count the material; it protects the money on it.
The homeowner's clean summary and the crew's build-ready breakdown are two views of the same job, so nothing drifts between selling it and building it.
Draw it in 3D for the Lab trades, or scope it through the estimating workflow for everything else. The dimensions are now data, not notes.
Line items are built from the job's dimensions and priced from your own material costs, with margin attached at the line.
The homeowner's summary and the crew's breakdown are two views of one record, so nothing drifts between the sale and the build.
Decks, pergolas, concrete, and fencing, through Evalation Lab. Every other residential trade builds itemized estimates through the five-minute AI workflow instead.
Yes. Evalation prices from the material costs and rates you load in, and they're yours to update as your suppliers move.
Update your price book and new estimates price from the current numbers. No stale supplier sheet baked into next month's bids.
Yes. The crew sees the same job laid out for building it, and unlimited users are included, so handing it off doesn't cost a seat fee.
