About

Ensign is a contractor-centric estimating, takeoff, and quantity surveying suite designed to help construction professionals quickly produce accurate cost estimates, proposals, and measurements while reducing manual work and errors by integrating all key workflows into a single, intuitive system that works on both cloud and Windows platforms. It includes on-screen PDF takeoff tools that let users measure runs and count symbols directly from electronic drawings without printing, speeding up quantity measurement for materials and labor, and estimating modules with regularly updated material prices and industry labor norms so businesses can generate detailed, branded cost proposals that reflect real market conditions; the system also supports quantity surveying to compile comprehensive breakdowns and variation reports for payment applications, improving billing accuracy and transparency.

About

TradeOff is cloud-based software for takeoff, estimating, and progress billing that streamlines workflows from blueprint analysis to client payment. The platform enables users to upload PDF drawings directly into their browser, where scale calibration, trace, and count tools simplify quantity aggregation. An AI assistant enhances this process by extracting quantities, detecting scales, and suggesting rates. The estimating matrix provides a spreadsheet-style grid for pricing, while progress billing features support schedule-of-values billing, retainage tracking, and tax compliance like CIS deductions and VAT reverse charges. Payment processing is supported through Stripe and BACS, complemented by team collaboration roles and one-click PDF exports for branded estimates and payment applications.
