AI pool takeoff & estimating software
A pool bid is the shell, the deck, and the systems around it. JobReadyIQ reads the pool plan and returns shell, decking, and rough scope so you can quote without pulling every dimension off the detail sheet.

How a pool takeoff actually runs
- 01
Plans or just an address
Got a pool plan? Drop it in. Quoting decking or a backyard remodel with no drawings? Type the address — satellite analysis measures the existing flatwork and yard straight from aerial imagery, with a confidence read on every number. (Utah today, more states rolling out.)
- 02
Shell and deck, measured
Shell surface area and perimeter come off the pool plan, decking by square foot and coping by linear foot — the geometry pulled from the drawings instead of scaled by hand off the detail sheet.
- 03
Systems and specials, separated
Equipment — pump, filter, heater — comes off the schedule, and the plumbing and electrical rough where the set shows it. Spas, water features, and special finishes are flagged as their own line items, not folded into the shell where they'd get mispriced.
- 04
One quote, your numbers
Your unit costs price the shell, deck, equipment, and rough as separate lines. Adjust anything and the total follows — you review and own the bid.
Pool estimating — straight answers.
Does it take off pool decking?+
Yes — decking comes back by square footage and coping by linear foot, alongside the shell area and perimeter.
Does it estimate the shell?+
It returns shell surface area and perimeter from the plan, plus the equipment and rough scope; custom features (spas, water features) are flagged as separate line items.
