Founder

A good takeoff shouldn't cost you a Saturday.

Takeoffs eat the evenings and weekends that should go to running the job — or resting. So I built the tool I wanted: drop in the plans, get a real number in your own prices, send a proposal that looks like you, and get back to work. That's the whole idea.
