About ContractorCounter
ContractorCounter is a web-based takeoff and estimating tool for subcontractors and small trade teams. You upload construction drawings, calibrate the scale once, and then mark up, count and measure items directly on the plan. The aim is to move from raw drawings to a priced quote inside one browser workspace instead of juggling printouts and spreadsheets.
Markup tools include clouds, callouts, text, arrows and stamps, and measurement covers lengths and areas. An AI takeoff feature proposes counts with visible markups that you can check against the drawing, and you can then add rates to build a bill of quantities and a quote. The site mentions syncing between a desk and an iPad on site, plus support guides, a blog and a changelog.
It is a hosted commercial product. You can create a first workspace free without a card, and paid plans add exports, sharing and more AI usage; a Pro plan is listed at a monthly price that is cheaper when billed yearly.
