What does TrueTakeoff do?

TrueTakeoff converts an Xactimate estimate or a set of construction drawings into a line-by-line subcontractor buyout. Every line returns with labor and material priced separately against a live materials catalog. Restoration work groups by Xactimate trade; new construction groups by CSI division. Estimators review the AI-generated quantities before the buyout is issued.

What TrueTakeoff does

A real buyout, not just a measurement

Built for the estimator who has to turn a scope into a number — and stand behind it.

📥

Xactimate import

Drop in an Xactimate estimate and TrueTakeoff parses every line item into a structured, editable scope you can price and assign.

📏

Drawings takeoff

Measure quantities straight off plans and drawings with AI assist, grouped the way a professional estimator would break the work down.

💵

Priced buyout

Every line comes back priced with labor and material split out, ready to hand a vendor or roll into a budget.

🗂️

Live materials catalog

Prices resolve against a live catalog of real materials with a generic seed fallback, so the buyout reflects what things actually cost.

🏗️

CSI & Xactimate grouping

New construction groups the takeoff by CSI division; restoration groups it by Xactimate trade — the right structure for the job.

🧠

Assemblies knowledge base

A growing library of specialty assemblies teaches the engine to break down shaft walls, tile surrounds, membrane roofs, and more.

FAQ

Questions about TrueTakeoff

What can TrueTakeoff import?

TrueTakeoff imports an Xactimate estimate or a set of construction drawings. It parses an Xactimate estimate into a structured, editable line-item scope, and it can measure quantities directly off plans with AI assist when no estimate exists.

Does TrueTakeoff work with Xactimate estimates?

Yes. Dropping in an Xactimate estimate parses every line item into an editable scope you can price and assign to vendors. Restoration takeoffs group by Xactimate trade, so the buyout matches the estimate structure adjusters already use.

How does TrueTakeoff split labor and material?

Every line in a TrueTakeoff buyout comes back with labor and material priced separately, resolved against a live materials catalog. That split is what lets an estimator hand a subcontractor a defensible number and roll the same line into a project budget.

Can TrueTakeoff do takeoffs from drawings without an Xactimate estimate?

Yes. TrueTakeoff measures quantities straight off plans and drawings with AI assist, grouped the way a professional estimator breaks the work down — so it works for new-construction and reconstruction takeoffs that never had an Xactimate estimate.

What is the difference between CSI and Xactimate grouping?

New construction groups the takeoff by CSI division, the construction-industry standard; restoration groups it by Xactimate trade, the insurance-claim standard. TrueTakeoff applies whichever structure fits the job so the buyout reads correctly for its audience.

Does a person review the AI measurements?

Yes. TrueTakeoff generates the quantities and pricing, and an estimator reviews and verifies them before the buyout is issued. The AI does the measuring; a professional stands behind the number.

How is TrueTakeoff different from Xactimate’s own takeoff?

Xactimate produces an insurance estimate. TrueTakeoff takes that estimate, or a set of drawings, and produces a subcontractor buyout — labor and material split per line, priced against a live materials catalog, grouped by trade or CSI division — which is what an estimator actually hands a vendor.
