Calculate paintable square footage automatically. Tectonic measures walls, ceilings, and trim from floor plans, so you can price jobs in minutes instead of hours.
Manual takeoffs waste your time and cost you money. Sound familiar?
Calculating wall areas from floor plans requires measuring perimeters, multiplying by ceiling heights, and subtracting openings. Time-consuming and easy to miscalculate.
Multiple paint colors, accent walls, and varying finish levels complicate estimates. Tracking what goes where across a project is challenging.
Flat ceilings, coffered ceilings, crown molding, base trim - each surface type requires separate measurement and different production rates.
Patching, priming, and prep work varies by surface condition. New construction differs from renovation, but plans rarely show this detail.
AI-powered takeoffs that work the way you think.
AI calculates gross and net wall square footage from floor plans. Door and window openings are automatically deducted for accurate paintable area.
Calculate ceiling square footage for each room, including high ceilings, soffits, and architectural details that affect coverage and labor.
Measure linear feet of base, crown, casing, and other trim. Separate quantities by profile type for accurate material and labor pricing.
Takeoffs organized by room or area for easy pricing by zone. Apply different finish levels and colors to specific areas.
Everything you need to know about painting estimating with Tectonic.
Tectonic measures room perimeters from floor plans and multiplies by ceiling heights (from sections or schedules). It automatically deducts door and window openings to give net paintable area.
Yes. You can assign different products, finish levels, and number of coats to specific rooms or surfaces. Tectonic tracks quantities separately for each specification.
Absolutely. Tectonic calculates exterior wall areas, siding, trim, and other surfaces. It accounts for different materials and conditions that affect coverage rates.
Customers typically report accuracy within 2-5% of manual measurements. The time savings of 70-85% allows you to double-check critical areas while still bidding faster.
Yes. You can add prep activities (patching, priming, caulking) as separate line items or factors applied to your painting quantities.
