Design and Plan
Measure on the plan. Pricing auto-fills.
Ledge's takeoff tool lives inside the estimating wizard — split-screen with your assembly parameters on the left and the site plan on the right. Measure once, quantities flow everywhere.
Book a DemoWhat it does
Three measurement modes
Linear, area (with polygon holes for cutouts like a fire pit in a patio), and count — each flowing directly into the matching assembly parameter.
Per-page scale calibration
Multi-page PDFs each get independent scale calibration — two-point click, survives zoom and page navigation.
Persistent measurement audit trail
Every polygon is saved with the estimate. "Where did 450 SF come from?" always has a visual answer you can share with the client.
How it works
Upload the site plan
Attach a PDF from your design files, a local upload, or a Google Drive import. Each page gets its own independent scale.
Calibrate the scale
Click two reference points on the plan, enter the real distance. Ledge calculates the scale and it sticks across zoom and page navigation.
Measure and bind
Draw areas, trace runs, drop point counts. Each measurement flows directly into the assembly parameters on the left — no tab-switching.
Review the audit trail
Every polygon is persisted with the estimate. Any quantity on the proposal has a visual source you can pull up instantly.
