Everything a modern PDF and takeoff workflow needs, from redlines to real quantities, with automation and a private estimator layered on top.
Calibrate once, then measure length, area, volume, angle and count. Clouds, callouts, stamps, highlights, redaction and digital signatures — the full set, with snap-to-geometry precision.
Quantities attribute to spaces and systems and roll up in a live panel as you draw — then export to CSV or multi-tab Excel with budgetary ranges and labor-hours hours by craft.
Detect every room and name it from the drawing's own text, trace wall and pipe runs into linear measurements, and count repeated symbols across a sheet — in a single click, ready to price.
When you're ready to price, one click turns a takeoff into a professional basis of estimate — executive summary, scope, assumptions and risk flags — written by a bundled AI model that never touches the internet.
TraceBuild bundles a professional-grade AI model that runs entirely on your computer through a local engine. Your priced takeoff becomes a client-ready narrative — no account, no upload, no internet required. The dollar figures stay authoritative; the AI writes the scope, assumptions and review around them.
Years of Bluebeam parity, plus the estimating platform and automation that set TraceBuild apart — all shipped, all included.
The full markup, measurement, page-editing, forms, redaction, signing and set-management toolkit teams rely on Bluebeam and Adobe for — in a fast, modern interface.
A complete takeoff and estimating platform — cost database, labor-hours, ancillary auto-explosion, bid markups — feeding a one-click AI basis of estimate. Nobody else bundles this.
The AI runs on your machine. No cloud round-trip, no account required, no client drawings leaving your control. Fast, offline, and yours.
