Short answer
They fall into three groups. Takeoff: Bobyard, Togal.AI and On-Screen Takeoff's Takeoff Boost measure and count from plans. Plan review: Bluebeam Max and Document Crunch's drawings review, which searches drawing text alongside contracts and specs. Sheet setup: Buildertrend and Easy Takeoffs name and scale pages.
