Perform quantity take-offs from drawings or on-site and create cost estimates with QuantifyAR! Record field measurement estimates using the power of augmented reality (AR). Capture accurate length, area, volume, and weight measurements from scale drawings and satellite images. Assign customized cost rules and create instant cost estimates for yourself or your customers.
How It Works
Make A Project
Create a Project to keep your quantities and estimates organized.
Add AR Quantities
Record field quantity estimates for length, area, and volume and visualize them in 3D. You can even measure from scale drawings and satellite images.
Add More Quantities
Add other known quantities to your project to complete your take-off. Record known measurements, item count, or include a percentage cost allowance for contingency or profit margin.
Add Cost Information
Assign reusable cost templates to your quantities to create instant cost estimates. Cost templates are completely customizable.
Organize and Share
Make final adjustments and then export the estimate to yourself or to a customer.
FAQ
You will need an iPhone or iPad with an A9 processor or better. This includes iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and iPad pro models.
You need to be running iOS 13 or newer in order to download QuantifyAR from the app store.
The accuracy of on-site measurements taken with QuantifyAR depends mainly on the AR tracking capabilities of your device. The newest iPhone and iPad models are designed specifically for AR tracking and should deliver the best accuracy. We recommend that site measurements taken with QuantifyAR only be used for budgetary estimates and not for actual construction measurements.
- We recommend using the newest iPhone or iPad that you can afford for best AR tracking and measuring accuracy.
- Avoid holding your device near the ground while walking. This makes it difficult to maintain accurate AR tracking.
- Avoid aiming your device directly downwards while moving. Rather, aim it in the direction you are moving.
- Ensure there is good lighting
- Avoid reflective ground surfaces
- Yes! If you properly set the scale of the drawing when importing, the measurements will be highly accurate. Of course, the drawing must also be drawn to scale as well.
- Our tests so far have shown that measuring from satellite images is also accurate within a reasonable margin of error. However, at this time, we don’t recommend using this feature for areas larger than 4 square miles.
Currently, all measurement points must be created on a horizontal surface. However, you can indirectly estimate the height of an object by first creating a ground measurement and then swiping up the green height bar until the height matches the object you are measuring.
In the future we would love to bring QuantifyAR to all mobile platforms, but there are no current plans to do so. If this is something you are interested in, please let us know!
