AI flooring takeoff & estimating software
Flooring is room-by-room area with a different waste factor for every material. JobReadyIQ reads the finish schedule and room layout and returns square footage by material, transitions, and prep — so a multi-material job doesn't take an afternoon of measuring.
Run a flooring plan free →What JobReadyIQ reads for flooring contractors:
- →Square footage by room and by material from the finish schedule
- →Material-aware waste factor (tile, LVP, hardwood, carpet all differ)
- →Transitions and thresholds at material changes and doorways
- →Underlayment and subfloor prep where the spec calls it
- →Closets, niches, and odd geometry included, with unclear areas flagged
…bid-ready in about 60–90 seconds, with a code-cited inspection checklist and every quantity tied back to the sheet it came from. You review and own the final number.
How a flooring takeoff actually runs
- 01
Drop in the set
Upload the plans — the system finds the floor plans and the finish schedule itself, including the finish tabulation where the architect provides one.
- 02
The finish schedule drives the split
Square footage is allocated per material from the finish schedule, not smeared across the building. A mixed job comes back as separate carpet, LVP, and tile lines, each with its own area — so 8,700 SF of carpet in the addition doesn't get lumped in with the main building's tile.
- 03
Honest flags beat confident guesses
Where a room's finish is present but unclear — a blank cell in the schedule, a finish code the legend doesn't define — the room is flagged for you to assign instead of silently defaulted. If a plan set genuinely doesn't carry enough to measure a material, that line declines honestly rather than inventing square footage.
- 04
Waste, transitions, and your prices
Each material line carries its own waste factor (diagonal tile and broadloom don't waste the same), transitions and thresholds come off the doorways at material changes, and your unit costs price every line. Adjust anything; the totals follow.
Flooring estimating — straight answers.
Does it handle multiple flooring types in one job?+
Yes — it reads the finish schedule and returns square footage per material, each with its own waste factor and transitions, so a mixed LVP/tile/carpet job comes back broken out correctly.
Does it add a waste factor?+
It applies a material-appropriate waste factor (higher for diagonal tile, lower for broadloom) and shows it as a line you can adjust to your own standard.
