PlanJockey
Cloud-based takeoff for markup, measure, and quantities in your browser — with a local Windows app when you want the work on your machine.
- Free browser trial — no password, no account
- Open PDFs and photos without creating a project first
- Length, area, perimeter, count, revision overlay
Built for the way construction work actually happens
Fast enough for a field markup or quick quantity check. Capable enough for detailed takeoff, revision review, and documented project communication.
Accurate measured takeoff
Calibrate a drawing to real-world units and measure length, area, perimeter, count, radius, and diameter. Use snap-to-point, orthogonal drawing, cutouts, and editable vertices to keep quantities accurate.
Mark up plans and photos
Add arrows, text, clouds, boxes, circles, highlights, stamps, and freehand notes to full plan sheets or standalone jobsite photos. Communicate the condition directly on the source material.
Organized quantities and totals
Group measurements by condition, trade, scope, or assembly. Keep live page and document totals while carrying measured quantities into takeoff and estimating workflows.
Export work people can use
Create flattened marked-up PDFs with legends and watermarks, or export measurements and quantities to CSV, Excel, and DXF for estimating, documentation, and downstream workflows.
PDF and revision tools
Merge, split, rotate, extract, and reorder plan pages. Search sheet text and compare revisions side by side or as an overlay to see what changed.
Private by default
Use PlanJockey in your browser or as a local Windows app. Plans, photos, markups, and takeoff data stay with you unless you intentionally save or share them elsewhere.
Estimators
Build measured quantities without fighting the software.
Contractors and project managers
Mark up plans, document field conditions, and communicate scope clearly.
Owners’ representatives and consultants
Compare revisions, record issues, and create professional project documentation.
Architects and designers
Review drawings, annotate conditions, and share focused feedback.
Open the plan. Do the work. Export the result.
PlanJockey is made for the moments when you need to measure, mark up, compare, or communicate—not spend half an hour configuring software.
Start free in the browser, or use the local Windows app when the plan sets get heavy. Build only as much structure as the job requires.
