Construction takeoff software, built around Excel.
BidScreen XL puts on-screen quantity takeoff inside the estimating workbook your team already uses. Trace the drawing, the quantity lands in the cell. SiteWorx/OS handles cut and fill from a PDF or DWG. One toolchain for every trade you estimate.

Takeoff inside Excel
BidScreen XL is an Excel add in. Drawings live in Excel; quantities are formulas in cells. No second app, no copy-paste.
- 02
Auditable measurements
Every quantity is a named formula. Recalibrate the scale on a sheet, every cell that referenced it updates. Bid math stays defendable.
- 03
Cut, fill, and 3D sitework
SiteWorx/OS reads existing and proposed grade lines from PDF or DWG drawings, builds a triangulated surface, and computes earthwork volumes in cubic yards.
- 04
PDF, DWG, raster
Bring drawings in any format. Vector measurements stay vector. Scaled rasters are calibrated once and reused across sheets.
One toolchain. Three products.

Takeoff built around your scope.
The measuring tools are the same on every job. What changes is what you count and how it prices. Here is how estimators in each trade run takeoff in Excel.
