Cable Takeoff Software
Cable Takeoff Software
Draw cable runs on a real floor plan and get exact footage, material cost, and labor time — no manual counting, no spreadsheets.
- Takeoff from any floor plan
- Automatic footage & material cost
- Labor hours calculated from real runs
What you get
Takeoff that matches the real job
Real takeoff, not guesswork
Footage comes from the actual runs you draw on the floor plan, with a configurable waste allowance built in.
Material cost, calculated
Every run prices out automatically using your cable, connector, and hardware rates — edit them once, reuse them on every job.
Labor that matches the job
Install hours scale off real footage and device counts, not a flat per-drop estimate that's wrong half the time.
How it works
From floor plan to takeoff
Draw the runs
Draw cable runs directly on your uploaded floor plan.
Auto-calculate footage & cost
Footage, materials, and labor calculate automatically.
Export the takeoff
Get a BOM, cable schedule, and labor estimate, ready to use.
FAQ
Common questions
How does the takeoff calculate footage?
Footage comes directly from the cable runs you draw on the floor plan, plus a configurable waste allowance you control.
Can I export the takeoff?
Yes, every takeoff exports as a bill of materials, cable schedule, and labor estimate.
Is there a free takeoff tool?
Yes — the Data Cabling Layout Tool is free for up to 20 drops.
Does it work with existing floor plans?
Yes. Upload any PDF or image floor plan and start placing devices and runs directly on it — no CAD file required.
