Sitework or underground? Civil & Utility Takeoff

Common Questions

Does Intuitive do takeoff from PDF plans?

Yes, PDF plan sets are the native input: import the set, set the scale, and measure with snapping to the sheet's linework.

Can I price the takeoff in the same tool?

Yes. Saved rate sheets price items as you measure, and everything exports to Excel, CSV, or a branded quote in one click.

What quantities can it measure?

Length, area, and count directly on the plans, plus derived volume, tonnage, and gallons from depth, thickness, and density.

What makes the measurements accurate?

Measurements snap to the PDF's vector linework instead of freehand clicks, areas auto-deduct holes and openings, and scale is set or calibrated per sheet.

Is it a cloud app?

No. It's a native Windows desktop app, and plans render locally, which is what keeps large sets fast.

Does it handle civil and underground utility work?

Yes, that's Intuitive's specialty. The Civil & Utility engine adds connected pipe networks, rim and invert elevations, automatic depth and slope, and trench quantities.
