Sharp Pencil

How a Sharp Pencil takeoff works

You upload a full commercial roofing plan set. In 48 hours you get a sheet-cited quantity takeoff, an RFI register, a material list, and a priced estimate if you give us your costs. Measured by AI from the drawing's own geometry, then verified by a roofing professional before it goes out.

Upload the whole set

Whole set and specs. Drains, curbs, deck, structural. A roof-plan-only upload is almost never enough.

Where every number comes from

Every quantity checkable. Confidence and source on the line, so you can verify against the drawings.

We refuse to guess

Gaps become RFIs. Refusing to invent a number is a feature, not a bug.

FAQ

Quick answers

How fast do I get a takeoff back?

In 48 hours. You upload a full commercial roofing plan set and get a sheet-cited quantity takeoff, RFI register, material list, and priced estimate (with your costs) back in two days.

What do I get back?

Four files you can download from your account. A quantity takeoff where every line cites the sheet it came from. An RFI register for the gaps. A material list rolled up from the same numbers. And a priced estimate when you give us your cost data.

Is the first one free?

Yes. Pick a set out of the no-bid pile or a live bid you were about to pass on. Upload it at getsharppencil.com. First takeoff free. After that it is $395 for a new set of drawings or a new address, and answering the questions we ask puts one re-run of that same job in the price.

If you send several a month there are two monthly plans instead: Starter is $1,495 a month and covers 5 takeoffs, Shop is $2,500 a month and covers 10. Full terms on the pricing section.

Are quantities sheet-cited?

Yes. Every quantity cites the sheet it came from so you can check it. Gaps become RFIs rather than guesses in the number. More on pricing and deliverables on the homepage.
