Planroom and document control
Store plan sets, specs, and versions with the project so estimators and field teams work from the current drawings.
For contractors and estimating teams
Construction Takeoff and Estimating Software
Build Logix gives estimators one place to organize plan sets, measure quantities on digital drawings, build cost estimates, send proposals, and turn a winning bid into a scheduled Dispatch Pro job.
Takeoff $149/mo per company · Estimate $249/mo · Month-to-month · No per-estimator annual seats
Planroom
Keep the current set in one place
Store plan PDFs, specs, and revisions with the project so estimators and field teams work from the same drawings.
Digital takeoff
Measure quantities on the drawing
Trace area, linear, count, and volume on PDF plans and carry those quantities straight into the estimate.
Cost estimating
Price the work with assemblies and markup
Organize line items, CSI, assemblies, location factors, overhead, and profit into a bid you can review and defend.
Proposals
Send from the same estimate record
Generate a proposal from the takeoff and estimate, then mark the bid won or lost so the pipeline stays accurate.
Awarded work
Turn a win into a Dispatch Pro job
Create a scheduled Dispatch Pro job from a winning bid—using an existing customer or adding a new one.
Bids stall when plans, quantities, and job setup live in different places
A plan set in email, takeoff markups on paper, an estimate in a spreadsheet, and a job created later from memory make it hard to defend a number or start work when the bid is awarded.
Build Logix keeps documents, takeoff, line items, and bid outcome together. When the bid is won, the same record can create the Dispatch Pro customer and job instead of retyping the work.
- Keep plan PDFs and revisions in a project planroom
- Measure area, linear, count, and volume on the drawings
- Build estimates with assemblies, overhead, and profit
- Convert a winning bid into a Dispatch Pro job and customer

Construction takeoff and estimating FAQs
- What is Build Logix?
- Build Logix is Dispatch Pro's construction takeoff and estimating product. Contractors upload plan PDFs, measure quantities on the drawings, build estimates with assemblies and overhead, generate proposals, and convert a winning bid into a Dispatch Pro job.
- What does construction takeoff software do?
- Takeoff software lets estimators measure area, linear, count, volume, and related quantities on digital plans instead of paper blueprints. Those quantities feed a cost estimate so bids are based on a shared takeoff record rather than scattered markups.
- Who is Build Logix for?
- Specialty contractors, general contractors, and estimating teams that bid from plans and then need to schedule the awarded work. It is licensed on the same Dispatch Pro company account as field dispatch.
- Can a winning bid become a Dispatch Pro job?
- Yes. After a bid is marked won, Build Logix can create a scheduled Dispatch Pro job. If the client is not already a customer, you can create one during conversion.
- Does Build Logix replace every estimating or construction ERP system?
- Not necessarily. It focuses on plan documents, digital takeoff, estimates, proposals, field RFIs and punch items, and handing awarded work to Dispatch Pro. Bring your accounting, BIM, and integration requirements to a demo for an honest fit review.
- How is Build Logix priced?
- Build Logix is priced per company, month-to-month — not per estimator on an annual contract. Takeoff is $149 per month for up to three users with unlimited projects. Estimate is $249 per month for takeoff, assemblies, proposals, and awarded-job handoff for up to eight users. Enterprise is custom. That is the opposite of cloud takeoff tools that list $249–$299 per user per month billed annually.
- How does Build Logix pricing compare to STACK or PlanSwift?
- STACK Premium is listed at $249 per user per month and STACK Pro at $299 per user per month, billed annually with a 12-month term. PlanSwift is about $1,749 per user per year for desktop takeoff. Build Logix Takeoff is $149 per month for the company; Estimate is $249 per month for the company. You pay one shop rate instead of a seat for every estimator.
