THE QUICKTEAR WORKFLOW
From the first measurement
to the full picture.
Built around the way a project comes together: capture the spaces, work through the trades, and review the total.
Build the takeoff.
Use measurements to work through quantities for trades such as drywall, paint, flooring, and trim.
Room Materials & quantities
Review the estimate.
Bring quantities and trade pricing together. Review the details behind a total before putting the estimate to work.

A rectangular room; walls only for drywall and paint; one 21 sq ft door and one 15 sq ft window deducted, capped at total wall area. Drywall and flooring include 10% waste. Drywall rounds up to whole 32 sq ft sheets. Paint uses two coats at 350 sq ft per gallon, rounded up to whole gallons. Prices are illustrative, not supplier quotes or QuickTear subscription prices. Ceilings, trim, preparation, accessories, labor, and tax are excluded.

BUILDING TOWARD WHAT’S NEXT
AI assistance.
Contractor judgment.
We’re exploring AI-assisted plan reading and takeoffs to help contractors get from project information to a reviewable estimate.
These AI capabilities are planned, not available features. Scope and timing may change.
Read project documents.
Explore extracting useful information from uploaded plans to reduce manual data entry.
Suggest quantities to review.
Explore AI-assisted takeoff suggestions that a contractor can check and adjust before using them in an estimate.
The goal: less time assembling information, with the details still available for review.
A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before the
first takeoff.
Who is QuickTear for?
QuickTear is being developed for small builders, remodelers, and trade contractors who need a straightforward way to organize project measurements, material quantities, and estimates.
Can I use the full application today?
QuickTear is currently in development. This website introduces the product and includes an illustrative takeoff example. Public application access and launch details will be shared when they are ready.
Is the example a complete job estimate?
No. It is a simplified illustration using sample rates for selected materials. Real estimates require verified dimensions, local pricing, labor, applicable taxes, and the full scope of work.
Are the AI features available?
The AI features described here are planned. The roadmap describes the direction being explored, not a promise of current functionality or a release date.
What will QuickTear cost?
Public pricing will be announced with launch details. The dollar amounts in the example on this page are illustrative material costs, not subscription prices.
