Footings, walls, slabs, columns — each with its mix design, formwork area, and rebar tonnage. Plotform reads the structural package and gives you an element-by-element takeoff you can price against, with source references for every line.

Saved per structural bid
Less time on element takeoffs
Line item extraction accuracy
Element-by-element takeoffs are slow, error-prone, and someone else’s problem too.
Element-by-element extraction for structural packages.
Footings, walls, slabs, columns, beams, decks — each with mix design, dimensions, and quantity in CY or m³.
Formwork SF extracted alongside each element so form-and-pour pricing is one calculation, not two.
Bar schedules parsed into weight by bar size. Anchor bolts, embeds, expansion joints all extracted.
What estimators are saying after switching.
“We were spending two days on a structural takeoff. Now it’s three hours including the formwork.”
Concrete estimator, Tampa
“Rebar tonnage used to be the bottleneck. Schedules in, weight out — done.”
Project manager, Kansas City
“Mix-design errors used to cost us money on every job. Now each element has the right mix attached.”
Concrete contractor, Salt Lake City
Three steps from structural PDF to element-by-element takeoff.
Structural package, foundation drawings, addenda. Up to 500 pages.
Footings, walls, slabs, columns — each with mix and formwork. ~15 minutes for a typical 80-page package.
Edit unit rates, then export a clean Excel pricing sheet.
Concrete and structural trades doing element takeoffs at volume.
Cast-in-place, post-tension, foundation work, slab-on-grade.
Form-and-pour subs needing area-based takeoffs separate from concrete volume.
Bar schedules parsed into tonnage by size — ready to price.
Footings, foundations, precast plank work.
Adjust the numbers to match your team — the savings update live.
Estimated assuming Plotform replaces 70% of manual data-entry time on each bid.

Everything you need to know before getting started.
Yes — footings, walls, slabs, columns, beams, and decks are extracted as separate line items, each with its mix design and dimensions.
Yes. Formwork area is extracted alongside the concrete volume for each element, so you can price form-and-pour against your unit rates.
Yes — rebar is pulled by bar size and weight from schedules and notes. Tonnage rolls up automatically.
Every line has a confidence indicator and a source-page reference for quick verification.
5–20 minutes depending on package size. A typical structural package finishes in around 15 minutes.
