ContractorCounter is browser-based construction drawing markup and takeoff software for contractors, subcontractors and estimators. It provides a practical alternative to heavyweight desktop PDF tools when a team needs to review plans, measure quantities, prepare markups and move estimating work forward from any modern browser.
Users can upload construction drawings as PDF or image files and organise them inside a project workspace. A drawing can be calibrated to its printed or stated scale before measurement. From there, estimators can measure lengths and areas, count repeated symbols or fixtures, add text and shape markups, and keep the resulting annotations connected to the underlying plan. This creates a clear visual record of what has been measured and why a quantity appears in the estimate.
The workflow is designed to reduce tool switching. Measured quantities can be carried into a Bill of Quantities and used while preparing a quote. Marked-up drawings can also be exported as clean PDFs for review, handover or communication with clients and project partners. Because ContractorCounter runs in the browser, users do not need to install specialist desktop software before opening and marking up a drawing.
ContractorCounter supports collaborative construction workflows. Team members can work from the same project information rather than passing multiple drawing versions between separate applications. Contractors can use the workspace during preconstruction for takeoff and estimating, while site and project teams can use the same markup tools to communicate drawing observations and scope.
The product is intended for small contractors, subcontractors, estimators and growing construction teams that want useful drawing tools without the cost and complexity of a traditional enterprise PDF suite. Core workflows include PDF markup, plan calibration, length and area measurement, symbol counting, quantity takeoff, Bill of Quantities preparation, quoting, collaboration and PDF export.
ContractorCounter offers a 14-day free trial. Paid options include flexible weekly, monthly and annual plans, plus team pricing. The service works on the web, so teams can evaluate the complete workflow before choosing a plan.
