Free Takeoff Software for Academic Programs
Schools, colleges, trade programs, and apprenticeships get the full software at no cost for the classroom. It runs on the computers your students already own and stays affordable after graduation.
Built for Any Program That Teaches Plan Reading
If your students read construction drawings and pull quantities from them, your program qualifies. Instructors and institutions apply, and the approval covers the students in the course.
Construction Management Programs
Two-year and four-year programs teaching estimating, quantity takeoff, bidding, and project controls. If your students will bid work, they need to measure plans first.
Trade & Apprenticeship Programs
Electrical, mechanical, plumbing, concrete, framing, drywall, roofing, and every other trade that has to count and measure before it orders material.
Architectural & Civil Programs
Architectural technology, drafting, design, and civil engineering courses where students read construction drawings and need to pull quantities from them.
High School Construction Pathways
CTE programs, shop classes, and career pathways introducing students to the industry. Nothing to install means nothing for your IT department to approve.
Everything, for the Whole Class
The full software, not a student edition
Your students learn on exactly what estimators use to bid real work. Every tool, every export, no watermarks on their drawings, no features held back for the paid version. What they learn transfers directly, because it is the same product.
One application covers your whole class
You apply once for your course. Your students do not each fill out a form, wait for approval, or chase down a license key. Tell us roughly how many students you teach and we take care of the rest.
Renewable every year you teach the course
Access runs for a year and renews for as long as the course runs. One check-in a year, not a fresh application every semester.
Their work follows them out
When the course ends, nothing is deleted. Projects, takeoffs, and templates stay in their account. A graduate who wants to keep going continues on a standard plan and picks up mid-sentence.
Academic access is for coursework and classroom projects. Paid estimating work, including internship work produced for real bids, needs a standard subscription.
Made for the Way Classrooms Actually Work
Teach estimating instead of spending the semester installing, licensing, and explaining the software around it.
It runs on whatever your students already own
Easy Takeoffs works in the browser on Mac, Windows, iPad, and Chromebook. No install, no license server, no lab imaging, no IT ticket. This is the difference between a lab that can teach takeoffs and one that cannot: the established desktop tools in this industry are Windows-only, which rules out every Mac in your building and every student laptop that is not a PC.
Students are measuring in the first class period
The software is built to be picked up in minutes, which matters more in a fifteen-week course than anywhere else. You are teaching estimating, not software training. Upload a plan set, measure it, export the quantities. Time goes to the concepts you actually want to cover.
Your graduates can afford to keep it
This is the part that gets overlooked. A student trained on software that costs thousands a year graduates, goes out on their own, and cannot buy the tool they know. Easy Takeoffs is $39 a month, so the estimating skills you teach stay usable the week they start their own outfit.
