It merges blueprint takeoff, estimating and progress billing within a unified browser-based workspace. The platform supports the complete project lifecycle from initial blueprint analysis through to final payment collection. It incorporates built-in compliance with Construction Industry Scheme deductions and value added tax domestic reverse charge requirements.\n\nThe blueprint takeoff system accepts PDF drawings directly in the browser without the need for computer aided design licenses or external plugins. Users set drawing scales to ensure measurement accuracy and employ trace and count tools to measure linear runs and quantify fittings. Quantities are aggregated per project automatically. An artificial intelligence takeoff assistant reads schedules and legends to extract quantities, detects drawing scales and suggests unit rates from the user rate library while preserving user control over adjustments. The estimating functionality presents a spreadsheet-style matrix that displays quantities, units, unit costs, markups and live totals in real time. The progress billing ledger provides schedule of values billing with retainage tracking, balance to finish calculations and amount due computations.\n\nTax compliance features calculate Construction Industry Scheme deductions on labour and apply value added tax domestic reverse charge rules directly on payment application documents. Team collaboration is enabled through configurable user roles, including owner, administrator, member and read only viewer permissions, allowing estimators, quantity surveyors and administrative staff to work simultaneously on the same project. Export capabilities include one-click PDF generation for branded estimates and payment applications as well as CSV data exports to external systems.\n\nIntegration with payment processing services allows clients to pay invoices by card or by bank transfer, with funds deposited directly into subcontractor bank accounts. The subscription structure aligns capacity with the number of active projects rather than per-user licensing. Completed projects can be archived to free up workspace capacity while preserving historical data for future reference.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/0c5c2059-4981-420f-be13-76f66d1c3b93.png","url":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2113327/tradeoff","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2113327/tradeoff#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/#organization"},"offers":{"price":"0","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"GBP"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Takeoff Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/825/takeoff/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"TradeOff","position":3,"item":"/software/2113327/tradeoff","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2113327/tradeoff#breadcrumblist"}]}
