Built by an estimator, for estimators
Tracer Takeoffs is built by a qualified quantity surveyor, estimator and construction business owner with 25+ years on the tools — so it works the way you actually price a job, not how a software team imagines you do.
From drawing to priced bill, in one place

Questions
Is there really a free trial?
Yes — 21 days with full access and no card required. It doesn't auto-charge; you only pay if you choose to subscribe.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Tracer Takeoffs runs entirely in your browser, so it works even on locked-down corporate IT that blocks desktop software.
Can I use my own Excel bill of quantities?
Yes — bring in your own BoQ, take off straight into it, and export it back out complete and client-ready.
How does the price compare?
Roughly half the price of the established desktop tools, plus a pay-per-project option for occasional use.
Is my data secure?
Your drawings and takeoffs are stored securely in the cloud, scoped to your account, and never shared.
