One of the easiest takeoff platforms to get started with
I’ve been using Groundplan since 2019, when we founded The Measuring Company (TMC). It was one of the first cloud-based takeoff platforms we adopted, and it helped us establish efficient estimating workflows from the early days of our business.
If you’re looking for a platform that’s simple to learn, quick to implement and gets you producing digital takeoffs without a steep learning curve, I believe Groundplan is one of the best options available.
Over the years, we’ve used it across commercial fit-outs, education, healthcare, retail and electrical projects. Even today, several of the construction businesses we support and many of the estimators we place through TMC Recruitment (TMC-R) continue to use Groundplan as part of their day-to-day estimating workflow.
As the Founder of The Measuring Company (TMC), Founder of TMC Recruitment (TMC-R) and Host of The Profitable Estimator Podcast, I regularly speak with estimators, subcontractors, builders and construction technology providers across Australia and New Zealand. Groundplan consistently earns positive feedback for its ease of use, collaboration features and ability to get new estimators productive quickly.
No software is perfect, and every business has different requirements. Larger organisations may eventually require more advanced estimating ecosystems or integrations depending on their workflow. However, if your priority is producing accurate digital takeoffs quickly without unnecessary complexity, Groundplan is a platform I would confidently recommend.
We’ve trusted it since 2019, and it’s still a platform being used by our clients and estimating professionals today, which says a lot about its value.
