AI siding takeoff & estimating software
Siding is area by elevation plus all the trim and the wrap behind it. JobReadyIQ reads the elevations and returns square footage, soffit/fascia, and accessories so you can bid the wall without scaling four drawings by hand.

How a siding takeoff actually runs
- 01
Drop in the set
Upload the plans — the system finds the elevations itself, and that's where siding lives: four drawings you'd otherwise scale by hand.
- 02
Each elevation, netted out
Siding area comes back per elevation, net of windows and doors, so each face prices on what actually gets covered. Mixed materials — stone wainscot under lap, board-and-batten on the gable — split into their own lines by what the elevations call.
- 03
The trim package rides along
Soffit and fascia by linear foot, corners and starter by run, and the house wrap behind it all by area. Profile and material follow the elevations and spec, with anything ambiguous flagged instead of assumed.
- 04
Your rates, one bid
Your material and install rates price every line — field, trim, and wrap separately if that's how you bid. You review and own the final number.
Siding estimating — straight answers.
Does it take off by elevation?+
Yes — it returns siding area per elevation, net of openings, so each face prices correctly and mixed-material walls come back broken out.
Does it include trim and soffit?+
It does — soffit, fascia, corners, and starter come through by linear foot alongside the field area and the wrap behind it.
