Forma Takeoff top features
Centralised document management
Distribute latest drawings and models with robust version controls and keep estimating teams in sync from one trusted source.
Digitise 2D takeoffs
Perform linear, count or area takeoff with multiple quantity outputs and use custom formulas to generate complex quantities.
Automate 3D takeoff
Quickly generate quantities from building information models to save time and visualise projects in 3D to better understand design intent.
Aggregated quantities
Break down silos with integrated 2D and 3D quantities, flexible roll-ups and streamlined inventory for faster audits and updates.
Multiple classifications
Upload and apply multiple custom classification systems to standardise takeoffs and improve estimating consistency across projects.
Generate conceptual estimates
Establish rough budgets and conceptual estimates by adding unit costs to 2D and 3D takeoff types. Calculations update as quantities change.

Questions? We have answers.
What is Forma Takeoff?
Forma Takeoff is an important software for construction professionals. It helps estimation teams perform accurate 2D and 3D takeoffs in a single solution. With Forma Takeoff, administrators and estimators share a real-time view of estimation work across construction projects, thus improving collaboration and transparency while creating more competitive bids.
How much does Forma Takeoff cost?
Forma Takeoff software typically requires a monthly or annual subscription, giving you access to the latest features and updates.
How does Forma Takeoff help estimators?
Forma Takeoff enables teams to quickly quantify both 2D drawings and 3D models in one solution. Its intuitive interface makes navigation simple, while integrated workflows help estimating teams collaborate effectively and produce accurate takeoff quantities for competitive bids.
How do I access Forma Takeoff?
To access Forma Takeoff, you first need to purchase a subscription. Once you have your subscription, sign in with your Autodesk ID to start using Forma Takeoff. You can also start a Forma Takeoff free trial to evaluate the 2D and 3D takeoff software for estimators.
What Autodesk AI capabilities exist in Forma Takeoff today?
Forma Takeoff includes a growing set of Autodesk AI-powered capabilities designed to make quantification workflows faster and more accurate. For example, Autodesk Assistant uses conversational AI, giving users more intuitive and flexible ways to access, validate and summarise critical information in published specifications. Automated Symbol Detection lets users trace a single symbol, and Autodesk AI automatically detects and counts all matching symbols on the drawing. The Specifications tool provides easier access to spec information, and AI breaks large, complex spec books into digestible, searchable sections, making it easier for estimators to find what matters. Additionally, Construction IQ brings risk awareness to the preconstruction phase by analysing project data and identifying potential issues early. These are just a few of the AI features currently available in Forma Takeoff.
How does Autodesk ensure responsible AI and Machine Learning (ML) use?
Some Autodesk AI-powered features do not leverage machine learning and so do not require data for training of the underlying models. When an AI feature does require data for training, Autodesk uses different data sources depending on the feature. You can learn more about whether a Autodesk AI feature relies on machine learning and what data sources are used for training in the Trusted AI section of Autodesk's Trust Centre.
