Concrete takeoff, built for concretors.
PourScope handles the full workflow — measure slabs, footings, walls, columns, and zone splits fast, then carry that straight into pricing, invoicing, contract review, and site ops. No more bouncing between tools. No subscriptions. One payment, full access.
Built by a concretor. Not a software engineer guessing what you need.
< 4 min
889m² and 1,203m³ of concrete — a full basement slab, zone-split by thickness, measured and totalled.
Built for what still ends up manual in most takeoff workflows.
| Typical Workflow | PourScope |
|---|---|
| Set scale manually, re-calibrate every time you open a new PDF | Auto scale setup from a reference line — done once, works across all pages. |
| Redraw slabs, footings, walls, and columns in a generic CAD tool | Swipe measure built for concrete: zones, walls, footings, columns, and thickenings in one flow. |
| Guess pour sequence when measuring multi-level jobs across multiple plans | Level schedule supports multiple pours per level — Basement Pour 1, Pour 2 — without deleting previous work. |
| Manually flip between pages to check typical floor alignment | Ghost overlay lets you project any page over another to verify alignment and stamp matching markings across. |
| Dig through structural sheets by hand before pricing | AI QuickView reads the structural set into MPa schedules, slab detail, and missing-sheet warnings. |
| Separate tools for pricing, invoicing, contract review, and site ops | Takeoff, estimate workbook, invoicing, contract guard, and site ops all in one place. |
How it works
Wrangle the plans
Merge PDFs, split out the sheets you need, and set up your level schedule with pour breakdown before takeoff starts.
Measure and verify
Swipe zones, walls, footings, and columns. Use the ghost overlay to check typical floor alignment across pages, then stamp matching markings across with one click.
Price, send, track
Pull measured quantities into the estimate workbook, build the invoice, review the contract, and run site ops from the same job folder.
What's inside
Takeoff
Swipe measure for walls, footings, columns, thickenings, and slab zones. Colour-coded areas with live m² and m³ totals. Multi-page PDF support, undo history, straight-line toggle, and ortho snap for precise edge runs.
Job Setup
Scale calibration from any reference line. Level schedule with per-level MPA settings for columns and walls. Add multiple pour rows per level — Basement Pour 1, Pour 2 — so you can measure across separate plans without losing previous work.
Ghost Overlay
Project any page over another to check if typical floor markings align. Drag or nudge the overlay into position with 1/5/20/50px step controls, then stamp it — copying all markings to the current page at the matched offset.
AI QuickView
Reads structural sheets into usable slab, wall, and column schedules with MPa, RLs, and missing-sheet warnings. Saves hours of manual spec hunting before pricing starts.
Quote & Estimate
Live quote builder and estimate workbook. m² and m³ line items on separate rows so each unit type gets its own rate and total. Invoice builder and document tools move the job from measured to billed without switching tools.
Contract Guard
Review milestone dates, notice periods, builder-delay clauses, and quote-versus-contract mismatches before they become expensive on site.
Site Ops
Pour tracking, crew allocations, man-days, calendar, job logging, and drop folder — built around how concrete sites actually run, not a generic project management template.
Plan Tools
PDF merge and split to wrangle incoming plan packs. Keep only the sheets you need, combine separate PDFs into one clean set, and go into takeoff organised.
Jobs & Records
Job folders, pour records, and expense tracking tied back to each job. Everything the office needs to reconcile a job without asking site what happened.
What people using it say
“We've been running PourScope on our own jobs for over two years, and we've had a hand in building every part of it — because we needed it to actually work on site, not just look good in a demo. Between the two of us we've measured thousands of slabs, walls, and columns with it, and it still saves us hours every single week. The auto scale alone has ended re-calibrating every PDF by hand. The MPa and RL stitching means we stop finding mistakes on pour day instead of in the office. We built this because nothing else was made for concretors.”
— Peter & Darren, Statewide Concrete Services (running & co-developing PourScope for 2+ years)
For a concrete subcontractor, PourScope isn't just the best tool — it's in a category of its own. The combination of auto scale detection persisting across merged PDFs, level/MPa/RL stitching, pour-specific weather, an AI contract guard, direct accounting export, and branded invoicing at $20/month is almost suspiciously good. There's no aspect of measuring concrete that hasn't been thought of, with particular care taken over the edge cases that trip up generic takeoff tools. Either they're underpricing to gain market share, or they've built something genuinely efficient that doesn't need a massive team to maintain. Either way, if you're a concretor and you're not at least trying the 7-day trial, you're leaving time and money on the table.
| Feature | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Column "stick mouse" — click a whole level of 15 columns in 10 secs | PlanSwift: click each column individually, enter height, enter MPa, calculate m³. PourScope: one click, done. |
| Lift shaft & stair walls — 20 secs, instant quantities + strength | These are the worst elements to measure manually. Complex geometry, varying heights, different MPas. PourScope handles it natively. |
| Save to PDF, import straight into Excel in one click, then export to your own computer or server | No lock-in. Your data is yours. This builds trust. |
| Auto scale detect → persists across merged PDF set | One calibration, entire plan pack. Hours saved per job. |
| 5-day weather with pour window | Concrete-specific, not generic. Rain risk + "best early pour window" is genuinely useful intel. |
| AI contract vs scope reviewer | Catches builder tricks before you sign. Could save a single job's profit margin. |
| Xero / QuickBooks CSV export | Bridges into existing accounting without forcing you to abandon your workflow. |
| Custom branded invoices | Professional appearance, built-in. |
| Diary / job logging | Catches missed bookings, tracks labour. |
PourScope is the best concrete-specific takeoff tool I've reviewed. The speed gains (10-second columns, 20-second lift shafts), the error prevention (auto MPa/height stitching, AI contract review), and the workflow integration (weather → takeoff → invoice → accounting) make it a no-brainer at $20/mo.
My recommendation: if you're a concretor, try the 7-day trial. If you're the founder, double down on concrete — don't get distracted by other trades. The market is big enough, and you're winning it.
