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.

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
Built for practical construction bidding
Digital quantity takeoff
Measure area, linear, count, volume, and related quantities on PDF plans and carry those quantities into the estimate.
Cost estimating
Organize line items, CSI divisions, assemblies, location factors, overhead, and profit into a bid you can review and export.
Proposals and bid outcome
Generate a proposal from the estimate, then mark the bid won or lost so the pipeline stays accurate.
Awarded work into Dispatch Pro
Create a scheduled Dispatch Pro job from a winning bid, using an existing customer or adding a new one.
Field follow-through
Keep RFIs, punch items, and field tasks with the project after the estimate is awarded.

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?
- Starter is $99 per month for up to five active projects. Professional is $299 per month for unlimited projects, proposals, and teams of up to ten users. Enterprise is custom for larger firms. Request a demo to confirm the right plan.
- How do I see Build Logix?
- Request a demo and bring a representative plan set, bid, and awarded-job example. The team will walk through takeoff, estimating, and the path from a won bid into Dispatch Pro.
