Why You Can Trust G2's Software Rankings:
G2's software rankings are built on verified user reviews, rigorous moderation, and a consistent research methodology maintained by a team of analysts and data experts. Each product is measured using the same transparent criteria, with no paid placement or vendor influence. While reviews reflect real user experiences, which can be subjective, they offer valuable insight into how software performs in the hands of professionals. Together, these inputs power the G2 Score, a standardized way to compare tools within every category.

Caliente is a fully AI-powered copilot for construction takeoff. Our platform connects drawings, scope, measurements, and markups into a single workflow that helps estimators find items, quantify work to scale, and create editable markups directly inside the tools they already use, with no change in software required.
Carlson Takeoff is a cut/fill volumes and data prep (for layout or machine control) program that can estimate jobs using paper plan digitizing, PDFs, or electronic CAD files. • Calculate site cut & fill and topsoil • Differentiate strata volumes & dirt vs. rock • Accurately determine subgrade quantities • Estimate trench and pipe quantities • Estimate roadways from cross-sections • Prepare the design info for exact staking • Create a 3D model for machine control
CivilTakeoff.ai is a cloud-based construction takeoff platform built exclusively for the civil construction industry. By leveraging AI, we streamline the takeoff process and help estimators complete bids faster, with greater accuracy and productivity.

ConstructIQ Suite is an all‑in‑one Construction Intelligence platform for estimating, digital takeoff, bid management, project management, field operations, and financial tracking. It delivers automated quantity extraction, structured cost estimating using assemblies, real‑time project workflows, jobsite visibility, and portfolio‑level financial insights — all in one unified system built for modern contractors and construction teams. ConstructIQ Suite eliminates fragmented software and brings every construction workflow together, helping teams bid faster, coordinate better, and manage projects with clarity from start to finish.
ContractorCounter is browser-based construction drawing markup and takeoff software for contractors and estimators. Upload PDF or image plans, calibrate scale, measure lengths and areas, count symbols, add markups and stamps, collaborate in shared workspaces, export clean PDFs, and carry quantities into a live Bill of Quantities and versioned quote. It works in modern browsers on Windows, macOS, iPad, and Android without a desktop installation.
CostMiner is a simple-to-use yet powerful construction estimating software that runs in the Cloud and can be accessed form anywhere as long as there is an Internet connection. With its on-screen takeoff, customisable job and report templates, simple and composite user-defined rates and clever estimating engine, it takes a few clicks on a PDF or CAD drawing to complete in a short time an estimate for a typical construction project and generate a proposal for the client.
Cost-OS covers all 5 classes of estimates, from conception to (FEED) phase, for the Oil and Gas sector. Its powerful parametric engine can be used to value engineer projects and fully support critical decisions, such as scope and engineering parameters - even procurement and fabrication locations of the equipment.

Industry leader in helping contractors use their electronic plans for takeoff.
Ensign Take-Off is a digital take-off software solution designed for mechanical, electrical, MEP, ductwork, and insulation contractors in the UK construction industry. It enables estimators and contractors to measure and quantify materials directly from PDF drawings, replacing manual measurement methods and reducing the time required to produce accurate take-offs. The software is built around the workflows of specialist subcontractors, making it a practical alternative to spreadsheet-based measurement processes. The software allows users to trace services directly onto imported drawings, automatically calculating quantities for materials such as pipework, cable tray, ductwork, and insulation as they work. Jobs can be organised by section and zone, and the software supports trade-specific component libraries for all five trades. Users can work across multiple drawings and scales within a single job, and a multiplier function allows quantities to be scaled efficiently where repeated elements are present. Take-off data feeds directly into Ensign Estimating, removing the need to rekey figures between systems and reducing the risk of errors carrying through to the estimate. Ensign Take-Off is used by UK contractors ranging from small specialist subcontractors to large Tier 1 businesses, across a range of project types and values. It is developed and supported in-house by Ensign Software, which has provided software to the UK construction industry since 1980. The software is continuously updated based on direct collaboration with contractors, ensuring it reflects current industry practices and trade requirements. Support is provided by an in-house team with extensive knowledge of contractor workflows, offering responsive assistance when it is needed.
Excalibur View is a desktop drawing viewer, markup and takeoff tool built for structural steel fabricators, estimators and general contractors. It runs natively on Windows and macOS. It opens shop drawings and construction sets, does measurement and quantity takeoff, and reads and writes Bluebeam Revu markups, so you can send a marked-up set back to a GC who is still on Revu and they see your work exactly as you left it. The tool chests are what set it apart. They ship with trade materials already loaded and each tool carries its own unit weight, so measuring a length returns pounds without a lookup table or a second spreadsheet. Separate chests cover structural steel and misc metals, concrete and earthwork, general contracting, plumbing, electrical and mechanical. Your files stay on your computer. There is no account, no cloud sync and no telemetry. Excalibur Construction Technologies does not operate a service and holds none of your project data. Excalibur View is sold as a perpetual licence rather than a subscription. You buy a seat once and it keeps running. Updates are an optional yearly renewal — if you stop renewing, the version you own continues to work exactly as before. The software is source-available under the Elastic License 2.0. You can read the code, build it and run it yourself. Built by a project manager at an AISC-certified structural steel fabricator in Pueblo, Colorado.
Fast Estimate is a building estimate software that puts you back in control of your project tenders with spreadsheet and databases.
