Division 10 software helps specialty contractors take off and estimate items such as toilet partitions, washroom accessories, lockers, signage, and wall protection. Much of the work involves counting, but the bid needs more than a total. You need to know which product belongs in each room, whether you're supplying or installing it, and what changed in the latest addendum.
For a supplier or installer, the right software depends on where that work happens today. You may need a faster way to get quantities into an estimating spreadsheet. You may want to price materials and labor inside the takeoff program. Or you may need manufacturer catalogs, partition schedules, and submittals. Those needs lead to different software choices.
Choose Division 10 software around the part of the job that takes your time. For counts by room and quantities for your own pricing, a takeoff program is enough: Easy Takeoffs works in a browser, turns a room count into accessory quantities with custom assemblies, and exports to Excel and CSV, while Bluebeam links PDF measurements to Excel. PlanSwift prices items in the same program, and On-Screen Takeoff supports repeated layouts and Quick Bid estimating. For manufacturer catalogs and Division 10 partition and accessory schedules, consider AVAproject.

The software doesn't have to carry “Div 10” in its name to suit the work. A general takeoff tool can handle specialties well if it keeps product types and locations separate and gives you quantities you can use for pricing. Dedicated catalog software becomes more valuable when product selection, configuration, and submittals take up a large part of the job.
What matters on a specialties bid
A floor plan, enlarged restroom plan, interior elevation, and accessory schedule can all show the same item. Count the installed location once, then use the other views to establish its type and requirements. Searching every sheet for a symbol without reviewing the results can count a legend or a second view as another installation.
Look for software that makes these distinctions easy to preserve:
- Product and location. Keep a recessed paper-towel dispenser separate from a surface-mounted model. Record the room or area so you can find either one again when a drawing changes.
- The unit you're counting. A locker bank can contain several individual lockers. A toilet compartment contains multiple components. Name the counted unit clearly before applying an assembly or sending quantities to a supplier.
- Counts and measured lengths. Accessories may be counted by item, while a wall-protection run needs a length and separate allowances for its specified corners, ends, or other components.
- Base scope and alternates. A proposed substitution should stay identifiable. Keep it out of the base quantity total until it actually replaces the specified product.
- Supply and installation. Record who provides the product and who installs it. An owner-furnished item may still belong in your installation price.
Toilet partitions deserve their own check. The UFGS toilet-compartment specification describes a complete system of panels, hardware, and supports, and calls for coordination with toilet accessories. A count of compartments can help compare layouts or request a supplier quote. It does not establish every panel, door, pilaster, fitting, or mounting condition required for that layout.
Which software fits the way you estimate?
Easy Takeoffs
Easy Takeoffs suits contractors who want to upload plans, measure their scope, and export quantities while keeping the pricing process they already use. For Division 10, that can mean counting accessory types by room, measuring wall protection, and sending the resulting list to an estimator or supplier.
Plan and symbol search helps find notes and repeated drawing symbols. You review the matches and add the selected results as counts. Automatic sheet naming helps you find the relevant plans and elevations; automatic scale detection reads the scale on every sheet for you to confirm before you measure lengths or areas.
Easy Takeoffs includes built-in and custom assemblies. For specialties, a custom assembly can turn one count of a specified room package into its individual material quantities. Different room types can have different assemblies, and the quantities update when the takeoff changes. The restroom example below shows why keeping those types separate matters.
Named groups keep the work organized by product, room, floor, or bid package. Excel, CSV and annotated PDF exports give you both the quantities and the marked drawing. Material prices, labor rates, and the final bid stay in your estimating spreadsheet or other pricing software, so it is not the right fit if you want pricing or manufacturer catalogs inside the takeoff program.
Pro costs $39/month or $399/year, with a 14-day trial of the full software and no credit card required. You can do takeoffs in a browser on Windows, Mac, or iPad.
Bluebeam
Bluebeam is a practical choice when reviewing and marking up PDFs is already a large part of your estimating day. Revu's Visual Search and Count workflow lets you find matching symbols, review the results, and turn selected matches into count measurements.
If you price in Excel, Quantity Link transfers measurement totals from local PDFs into spreadsheet cells and updates them as the measurements change. That feature requires Complete or Max, which is why Complete is the plan shown in the comparison.
Complete costs $440/user/year; Core costs $330/user/year. Core includes count measurements and can be enough if you don't need Quantity Link. Revu runs on Windows. Subscriptions also include web and mobile access, but those applications have different tools; the desktop workflow described here should not be assumed to work identically on a Mac or iPad.
PlanSwift
PlanSwift combines Windows takeoff with cost estimating. Its Estimating tab brings material and labor costs into the job. Assemblies can connect a counted item to the parts and labor you use to price it.
That is useful if you want a washroom package to produce both quantities and costs in the same program. Easy Takeoffs also has assemblies; the distinction here is PlanSwift's integrated estimating. Your supplier prices and installation rates still need to be maintained. PlanSwift's starter-pack guidance explicitly notes that its example starter pack does not include industry material and labor pricing.
Essential costs $2,000 a year for the first seat and includes Auto Count, Auto Scale, and Auto Bookmark. Core is $3,000 a year for the first seat and adds the broader Auto Takeoff feature. Additional seats cost $1,500 on Essential and $2,500 on Core. Both are annual subscriptions.
On-Screen Takeoff
On-Screen Takeoff has tools for repeated layouts, particularly useful if your company already prices work in Quick Bid. Its Typical Groups, Typical Areas, and repeating-page tools let you reuse takeoff work across similar parts of a project. It also provides Auto Count and drawing overlays for revision review.
For Division 10, a repeated restroom package is a useful trial case. Check how easily you can reuse the package and then handle one room with a different accessory schedule. The exception matters as much as the repetition.
Quick Bid connects with On-Screen Takeoff and adds material and labor costing, supplier quotes, and proposal reports. Get a written quote that identifies the takeoff edition, any automation you want, and Quick Bid if you need it. Treat them as a combined purchase when that is the workflow you're comparing.
AVAproject
AVAproject addresses a more specialized need: schedules, manufacturer product information, and submittals. AVAware lists Division 10 schedules and partition and accessory groups, and its catalog subscriptions include washroom-accessory and partition manufacturers such as ASI, Bobrick, and Bradley.
That suits suppliers whose work extends into selecting catalog items and preparing detailed product documentation. A reusable takeoff assembly calculates quantities from rules you set. A maintained manufacturer catalog supplies product records used for detailing and pricing.
AVAproject runs on Windows. Confirm the software, catalog subscriptions, and regional product data your company needs. Ask for a demonstration using a partition layout and accessory schedule like the ones you actually bid, including how the plan quantities reach the schedule and submittal package.
A six-room example to use in a software trial
Use this small example to check whether a program produces useful Division 10 quantities. It is an illustrative accessory schedule, not a standard room specification or a complete restroom bill of materials.
There are four Type A rooms, R101 through R104, and two Type B rooms, R201 and R202. Each room of a given type has the same four listed product requirements. The example counts only these accessories; partitions, other accessories, fasteners, backing, and electrical work are outside its quantity list. No spare allowance is included.
| Accessory | Per Type A room | Per Type B room | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mirrors | 2 | 1 | 10 |
| Soap dispensers | 2 | 1 | 10 |
| Paper-towel dispensers | 1 | 0 | 4 |
| Hand dryers | 0 | 1 | 2 |
The mirror total is four rooms × two mirrors, plus two rooms × one mirror: 10. The soap dispensers follow the same calculation. Keep the product and room breakdown behind those totals so the list remains useful when a supplier prices it or a room changes.
In Easy Takeoffs, this can be represented by separate Type A and Type B count groups with custom assemblies. A Type A room count produces two mirrors, two soap dispensers, and one paper-towel dispenser; a Type B count produces one mirror, one soap dispenser, and one hand dryer. Those are rules for this example, entered by the user. The software does not infer the specified products from the room name.
Now introduce an addendum: R104 replaces its paper-towel dispenser with a hand dryer. The revised list should show 10 mirrors, 10 soap dispensers, three paper-towel dispensers, and three hand dryers. Separate R104 from the unchanged Type A rooms before changing its package. Otherwise, changing the Type A assembly could replace the dispenser in all four rooms.
The number of rooms is still six, and the combined accessory count is still 26. Both headline totals can look right while the order contains the wrong products. A useful trial should leave you able to identify R104, explain the two changed quantities, and export the revised list without losing the other rooms.
Finish by checking the installation scope. In a real bid, replacing a dispenser with a dryer also raises questions about power and connection responsibility. Record those separately from the accessory count and resolve them against the project documents.
Try a specialties takeoff on your own plans
Count your accessory types, apply a custom assembly where rooms repeat, and export the quantities for pricing. Easy Takeoffs includes a 14-day trial so you can check the result against a job you already know.
Choose around the part of the job you want to improve
If your pricing spreadsheet works well, concentrate on getting clean, organized quantities into it. Easy Takeoffs is a good starting point for that workflow. If re-entering product prices is the bigger burden, look at PlanSwift's integrated cost estimating. If catalog selection and submittals dominate your day, bring AVAproject into the evaluation.
For an existing Bluebeam or On-Screen Takeoff user, run the same small job through your current setup before switching. Compare the room breakdown, a revised item, and the output you actually use for pricing. A low subscription price only helps if the software completes that work without creating another spreadsheet cleanup job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need dedicated Division 10 software?
Not necessarily. General takeoff software can handle Division 10 counts, lengths, groups, and custom assemblies. Dedicated software becomes more relevant when you also need manufacturer catalogs, partition configuration, product schedules, or submittals. Decide which outputs your company needs before buying a larger system.
Can Easy Takeoffs handle Division 10 takeoffs?
Yes. Easy Takeoffs can count specialty items, measure lengths and areas, organize the work into groups, and calculate material quantities with custom assemblies. You can review symbol-search matches and add selected results as counts, then export quantities and marked plans. Pricing and the final proposal remain in your estimating software or spreadsheet.
How much does Division 10 takeoff software cost?
Among the plans compared here, Easy Takeoffs is $39/month or $399/year. Bluebeam Core is $330/user/year; Complete is $440/user/year and includes Quantity Link. PlanSwift Essential is $2,000/year for the first seat. Compare the relevant edition, billing commitment, and required catalog or estimating products rather than a starting price alone.
Can AI count toilet accessories from plans?
Symbol search and automatic counting can help find repeated drawing symbols. The results still need review: a match may belong to a legend, an elevation of an item already counted, or a different product with a similar symbol. Easy Takeoffs lets you review the matches before adding counts. It does not decide which specified accessory, finish, or mounting condition belongs in each room.
What should toilet partition takeoff software record?
Record the layout reference, number of compartments, dimensions, material, mounting style, and specified components needed for the supplier's quote. Keep different layouts separate. If you count a complete quoted layout as one package, label it that way; if you are buying components individually, establish their quantities from the layout and supplier documentation. Compartment count alone is not a panel or hardware list.
Which Division 10 takeoff software works on a Mac?
Easy Takeoffs runs in a browser on a Mac. Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, On-Screen Takeoff, and AVAproject are Windows desktop products. Bluebeam's included web and mobile applications have different capabilities from Revu. Our Mac takeoff software guide explains the platform choices in more detail.
Can I keep using Excel for Division 10 estimating?
Yes. Takeoff software can supply the quantities while Excel holds your supplier prices, installation rates, and bid calculations. Easy Takeoffs fills your own Excel workbook with the quantities or exports them as a CSV. Bluebeam Complete's Quantity Link provides a different workflow by linking measurement totals to Excel cells. In either case, check that room types, product differences, and alternates remain clear when the quantities reach the estimate.
