The end of the hand take-off

Every estimator knows the hours — sometimes days — spent counting air terminals, measuring conductor runs, and marking up plans by hand for a single bid. We're building the technology to take that off your plate.

Coming · In development

Take-off straight from a PDF drawing

Drop in the plan set and let Lightning Pro read the lightning protection take-off for you — counts, conductor lengths, and materials pulled from the PDF — instead of measuring every run by hand.

Planned · Further out

Auto-generated protection drawings

Further down the road, the goal is to turn that take-off into a finished lightning protection drawing automatically — going from a bare plan to a complete, code-aware layout in a fraction of the time.

These features are in active development and are not yet part of the current release. What you download today is the complete estimating, proposal, and invoicing platform shown above. The take-off tools will arrive in a future version — we'll announce them right here when they're ready.

Start free. Scale when ready.
