What gets measured
| Item | Typical unit |
|---|---|
| Floor area by room and finish type: carpet, LVT/VCT, sheet vinyl, tile, wood and sealed or polished concrete | Square feet (SF), from the finish schedule and finish plan |
| Carpet and sheet goods | Square yards (SY) |
| Transitions and thresholds | Each (EA) or linear feet (LF) |
| Rubber, vinyl and wood base | Linear feet (LF) |
| Stair treads and risers | Each (EA) |
| Underlayment, floor prep and moisture mitigation | Square feet (SF) |
Common pitfalls
- Missing finish codes defined only in the room finish schedule.
- Treating rooms with split finishes as a single finish area.
- Forgetting deductions for casework and fixed equipment.
- Missing door openings and base breaks when measuring base.
- Ignoring pattern and seam direction or the specified roll width.
- Missing attic stock requirements in the specification.
How EstimatorAI handles it
Upload the PDF plans and specs and ask about finish types and rooms. EstimatorAI reads finish schedules and specification sections and gives quantities with the sheets they came from for you to review and adjust, then export to Excel. Waste factors, roll and carton rounding, and seam layout are applied by the estimator, not invented by the tool. Questions you can ask:
- What is the total LVT area on the first floor finish plan?
- Which rooms get rubber base and how many linear feet?
- What does the spec say about moisture testing before flooring?
Frequently asked questions
Can EstimatorAI do a flooring takeoff from PDF plans?
Yes. Upload the plans, finish schedules and specs, ask about rooms and finish types, and review the quantities against the cited sheets before exporting to Excel.
Does it separate flooring by finish type?
Ask for areas by room and finish code from the finish schedule and finish plan, including rooms with split finishes. Check the source sheets before pricing.
Who applies waste, rounding and seam layout?
The estimator applies waste factors, roll and carton rounding, and seam layout using the specified materials and installation requirements. EstimatorAI does not invent those assumptions.
Do I still need to review the takeoff?
Yes. Check quantities, deductions, finish codes and specification requirements against the source documents before pricing.
Can I export the takeoff to Excel?
Yes. Export quantities to Excel and apply your own pricing and ordering assumptions.
How much does EstimatorAI cost?
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial (card required). After the trial, EstimatorAI is $79/month, $149/quarter, or $499/year.
