Stop the takeoff ↔ Excel ping-pong.
One takeoff & estimating software — from measurement to quote.
A new type of takeoff experience.
Blazing fast. At scale.
Everything's instant. A 500-sheet set still opens in about a second.
Full performance →No Excel ping-pong
Built-in spreadsheets price the job live — from your measurements, formulas and cost databases.
See Spreadsheets →Only price the difference
Auto-align a revised set, see what changed, and re-price just the delta — the estimate updates itself.
How comparison works →Blazing fast. At scale.
// performanceNo more coffee break every time you open a set.
Instant pan & zoom
Auto-align & compare
Load a 500+ sheet set
Three apps and six steps, against one.
// spreadsheetsThe Bluebeam → Excel → Bluebeam → Excel dance is over. Purple Hammer covers the entire takeoff process.
Three separate systems
- Find & download drawings
- Slip-sheet revisions
- Batch compare
- Markup & measure
- Export to Excel
- Stitch in quantities & prices to recalculate
One integrated solution
- New drawings picked up automatically
- Auto-align & compare in ~2 seconds
- Markup & measure (only the difference)
- Totals update automatically
Only price the difference.
// power toolsA revised set drops. You re-price what changed — not the whole job again.
- Load two revisions
- Align & compare
- Blink between versions, and overlay
Visualising the flow — align, blink-compare, price only the delta.
Auto-align in ~2 seconds
Drop the new revision on the old one. Both sets register themselves — no manual pinning, no re-scaling.
Blink-compare
Flip between revisions and every change pops — added, moved, removed. You see exactly what's different.
Price only the delta
Both sets are aligned and scaled, so last revision's takeoff carries forward. Re-measure just what changed — the estimate updates itself.
Everything the takeoff needs — built in.
Does the whole job
Markup, measure, compare, document-control and estimate — one app, no bolt-ons.
Full toolbox →Magic Measure
Click or drag an area; it finds the edges, drops the openings, and prices it.
See it work →Power Syntax
Spreadsheets that speak estimating — scoped totals and live cost lookups, built in.
See Power Syntax →The whole takeoff lives in one app.

Magic Measure.
Click or drag an area — Purple Hammer finds its boundary. No tracing.
- Click or drag in an area. Purple Hammer floods to its edges — a green preview.
- Openings remove themselves — windows, doors and islands drop out automatically.
- Accept, and it becomes a measurement — live in the spreadsheet (red).
Real spreadsheets, built for takeoff.

database.cost([item]) * [quantity]
→
Prices each measurement from your live database.
SUM.project([:cost])
→
Auto-prices the entire job.
SUM.discipline=concrete([:volume])
→
Totals just the concrete, across the project.
Less than the cost of lunch. Download it, open a drawing, and you'll know within five minutes whether it's faster than your current workflow. Founding members keep every feature — and everything we ship next — at a price locked until 2029.
