Tired Of Overcomplicated Takeoff Software?

A lot of quantity takeoff software is built for big teams, packed with features most estimators never touch. MSUR strips it back to the work that matters — measure, rate, price.

  • Too many unused features

    MSUR: a focused toolset — takeoffs and estimating, nothing you'll never open.

  • Long onboarding

    MSUR: open a drawing and start measuring. Most estimators are productive on day one.

  • Expensive licences

    MSUR: one clear price from £49/month, billed monthly with no contract.

  • Complex workflows

    MSUR: measure, add rates, get a price. A simple path from drawing to quote.

  • Slow estimating process

    MSUR: quantities and prices update live as you measure, so pricing keeps pace with your takeoff.
