About

Sharp Pencil does quantity takeoffs for commercial low-slope roofing contractors and estimators. We cover TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up and mixed-system roofs, on new construction, tear-off and recover jobs. Send the plan set and specs. You get back a takeoff workbook with roof areas in squares by system, insulation and cover board, tapered ISO areas with crickets and saddles, field, perimeter and corner zones, parapet wall area, edge metal and coping by type, drains, curbs and penetrations. Anything the drawings leave unclear goes on an RFI register so you can price around it or ask the design team before bid day. Every quantity names the sheet it came from, so you can check any number fast. Every paid takeoff is checked before delivery. Delivered within 48 hours*. Your first takeoff on a live bid is free. Commercial work only, no residential. *Clock starts once any questions we send you are answered.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The time savings alone makes it worth it. It's so easy to use and the output is consistent for every project.
  • No pros at all. I could redline it faster than this software

Cons

  • Nothing that I can think of, but more of a feature request. I wish the Revit integration would drive keynotes back into the model. I understand why it's not setup this way, but it would be great consider this for any future updates.
  • Doesn't Spell Check even the word Architect Formatting is so basic I have to clean up afterword to make it look decent Have to wait forever for it to update before exporting Just plain inferior to MasterSpec
