Takeoff software for Windows

Measure plans in minutes, not afternoons.

Open a PDF or DXF, set the scale and click around the parts you need. Comprobare adds up areas, lengths and counts as you go. And with the new Marking tools you can colour the drawing in and see how it will look before anyone builds it.

Go on, measure something.

A small browser version of what the app does. Pick a drawing, choose a tool and click on the corners. Points snap to the drawing and the result shows up once the last point is in, just like in Comprobare. The real thing works the same way on your own PDFs.

scale 1:50 · unit m

Click the corners of a room, then the first point again. The area appears once the shape is closed.

Like it? The app does this on any PDF or DXF, with groups, subtractions, memory and export on top. Download the free trial.

What's inside

Everything a takeoff needs. Nothing to study first.

Plain buttons, clear results, and the features estimators kept asking for. Including the new Marking tools further down.

Measure

Areas, lengths and counts

Trace an outline for square metres, click along a run for metres, tap items to count them. Every result lands in the panel with its own colour, and the totals update as you go.

m²mpcs

Measurement results panel with Hull, Items and Equipment groups, group summaries and totals of 18.91 m², 9.80 m and 2 pcs.

Multiple Areas

Several shapes, one measurement

Pick a few separate areas and keep them together as one result. Press S and start clicking.

Tool dock with the Multiple Areas tooltip and its S shortcut.

Groups

Subtotals that sort themselves out

Hull parts in one group, equipment in another. Each group sums itself and the grand total sits at the bottom.

Subtract

Cut out what doesn't count

Mark doors, openings or columns and they come off the total on their own.

Memory

Measure once, reuse it

Save a set of measurements and load it again later, or drop it onto the next drawing of the same kind.

Memory panel with a saved set called Sailing Boat M, 3 areas and 1 segment, and buttons to save the current selection.

PDF to DXF

Bad scans are fine

Photographed or scanned plans become real lines you can snap to. Three quality settings to match what you've got.

.cpb

One project, one file

Drawing, measurements and groups in a single file. Email it, archive it, open it next month and carry on.

Export

Out to Excel, PDF or paper

Copy results into a spreadsheet, export a PDF, save a DXF or print straight from the app.

NewMarking

Colour the drawing in before anything gets built.

Marking lets you fill parts of a drawing with colour, add text and place images on it. See how the hull looks in red instead of blue, show a client which rooms get new flooring, or print the plan with your own logo in the corner.

The sailboat drawing after Marking: red hull, sand coloured cabin, white sails, blue bottom and a COMPROBARE name on the bow.

The same sailboat drawing as imported: plain white lines on a dark background.

As imported With Marking

Fill any shape
Pick a colour and an opacity, then click inside an outline. Change your mind as often as you like, every fill stays editable.
See the change before you make it
Try a different colour for the hull, the roof or the facade and look at it next to the original. Cheaper than finding out after the paint is ordered.
Add your own branding
Place a PNG or a PDF on the drawing, like your company logo, a stamp or a product image. Every print goes out looking like yours.
Text where you need it
Room names, notes, colour codes. Write straight on the drawing instead of in a separate email.
Print it or export a PDF
Markings sit on their own layer. Hide them with one click to get the clean drawing back, or send the coloured version to the client.

Comprobare Marking tab: the sailboat coloured in with red hull, sand cabin, white sails and blue bottom, with Print and Export PDF buttons. — Marking tab Print and Export PDF sit right in the ribbon.

How it works

From a PDF to a number you can quote.

The same five steps whether it's a two-room flat or a forty-metre hull.

Open the drawing

Import a PDF or open a DXF. Scanned plans go through PDF to DXF first, so you get real lines to snap to instead of pixels.

PDF · DXF · scanned PDF · CPB

Set the scale once

Calibrate against one dimension you know, or let Detect Scale read it off the drawing. After that every number is in real units.

Calibrate · Detect Scale

Click around the parts you need

Trace areas, lay down lengths, count items. Each one gets a colour and a label right on the drawing.

Area · Multiple Areas · Length · Count

Group it, save it, reuse it

Results stack up on the right in groups with subtotals. Save the set to Memory and keep the whole job in one .cpb file.

Groups · Memory · .cpb

Mark it up and send it

Colour the drawing in, add your logo and a few notes, then print it or export a PDF for the client.

FAQ

Questions people ask before buying.

Something missing? Write to us, a real person answers.

What counts as a station?

One license activates Comprobare on one Windows computer. If you need it on two machines you need two licenses, or email us for a team quote.

Can I move my license to a new computer?

Yes. Email us from the address you bought the license with and we'll reset the activation, so the same key works on the new machine.

What happens when the annual license runs out?

The app asks for a valid license again. Nothing is deleted: your .cpb project files stay on your disk, and a renewed key picks up right where you left off. The lifetime license never runs out.

How do I get the license key?

You pay through PayU by card or bank transfer. As soon as the payment is confirmed we email you the license key and a VAT invoice.

Do I get an invoice?

Yes. Every purchase comes with a full VAT invoice made out to the billing details you enter on the order form.

Is Marking included in my license?

Yes. There are no add-ons or paid tiers. Marking is part of the app for everyone with a license, and it's in the free trial too.

Can I get a refund?

The 7-day trial is the full application, so you can test everything before paying. Because of that, activated licenses can't be refunded, except where the law requires it or when a technical problem we can't fix stops you using the app. The details are in the purchase terms.
