Line item extraction accuracy
Civil packages are spread across plan sets — the items you miss live between sheets.
Site and civil takeoffs organized by area and phase.
Site clearing, cut, fill, and grading quantities pulled from earthwork tables and grading notes — tagged by phase.
Asphalt, concrete paving, curb & gutter, sidewalk — extracted with thickness, mix, and area.
Storm, sanitary, watermain pipe lengths by diameter; manholes, catch basins, cleanouts by type.
What estimators are saying after switching.
“Civil takeoffs that took two days are done by lunch. The utility coverage alone is worth the price.”
Site superintendent, Nashville
“Structures hidden in profile views used to slip through. Plotform catches every catch basin.”
Civil estimator, Sacramento
“Phased projects are no longer a spreadsheet nightmare — items come tagged by phase from the start.”
Site contractor, Columbus

Everything you need to know before getting started.
Yes — site plans, civil drawings, utility plans, and grading plans are all read together so the quantities reconcile across sheets.
Cut and fill totals are pulled from earthwork tables and grading notes when stated; for surveyed cut/fill from contours alone, dedicated earthwork software is a better fit.
Yes. Pipe lengths and structures (manholes, catch basins, cleanouts) are extracted from both the drawings and the spec book.
Every line has a confidence indicator and source-page reference for quick verification.
10–30 minutes depending on package size. A typical 100-page civil package finishes in around 20 minutes.
