sound familiar?

Fed up with overcomplicated takeoff software?

A lot of software is built for big teams and stuffed with bits most estimators never open. MSUR covers the full job — measure, price, vary, track — without the clutter.

  • Half the features never get used

    MSUR: takeoff through to progress — the bits you actually need.

  • Takes forever to learn

    MSUR: open a drawing and start measuring. Most people are away on day one.

  • Expensive licences

    MSUR: from £49/month, billed monthly, no long contract.

  • Jumping between tools

    MSUR: quantities stay on the same job from takeoff into estimate, variations and progress.

  • Pricing lags behind the takeoff

    MSUR: quantities and prices update as you measure, so the estimate keeps up.

for UK estimators

Everything you need
from drawing to site.

Takeoff, estimate, variations and progress in one place — still simple enough to pick up in minutes.

01 / 06

Length, area & count

Trace walls, pull out rooms and tap to count fixtures. Totals update as you go.

02 / 06

AI legend & auto-measure

Pull in coloured legends and auto-trace the linework so you’re not redrawing every run by hand.

03 / 06

BOQ & products

Quantities drop into a live BOQ. Stick rates on, set finishes and products — takeoff and estimate together.

04 / 06

Variations

Omissions, additions and tweaks linked to measured items. Keeps the change on the same job as the drawing.

05 / 06

Site progress

Mark % complete on the drawing or in a list. Coat stages, photos, and a CSV for the valuation.

06 / 06

Browser + phone

Work in any browser, and on site with the phone offline. Same account, same figures, syncs when you’re back online.
