ContractorCounter
ContractorCounter is a browser workspace for construction takeoff and estimating. Its assistant proposes counts, measurements, and drawing scale from plain-English requests, then feeds reviewed quantities into a bill of quantities and quote. The product is aimed at subcontractors and small trade teams.
Check scale before accepting quantities
The publisher describes requests such as counting outlets or measuring wall lengths, with markups placed on the drawing. Its AI can propose a scale calibration, but the website instructs users to check it against a known dimension before relying on lengths, areas, or volumes. An incorrect scale can affect all measurements that depend on it.
The site's interactive sample is explicitly labeled as using scripted AI responses. It can show the workspace layout, but it is not evidence of live takeoff accuracy on your drawings. Evaluate the workflow with a real sheet and independently check the quantities you plan to use.
Keep the pricing layer under review
ContractorCounter describes itself as takeoff-first rather than a full cost-database suite. Quantities feed a live bill of quantities, while rates remain editable and AI suggestions require review. This distinction is useful for an estimator who already has pricing information and wants a connected drawing-to-quote workflow.
The publisher says the product does not auto-submit bids or manage tender pipelines. Preparing a quote is therefore separate from sending or winning a bid. Its wider competitor comparisons are not needed to establish that narrower workflow. Franklin has not tested quantity accuracy or quote calculations.
Distinguish the free workspace from a paid trial
The pricing page offers a first workspace without a card, including limited AI. Exports and sharing require a paid plan or an eligible trial that requires a card. The listed three-day trial can convert to the selected subscription unless canceled before the first charge date.
Pro is listed at US$14 monthly or US$140 yearly; Team is US$10 per seat monthly. A US$249 one-time Lifetime offer has a lower AI allowance than Pro. Usage is credit-based and varies with drawing size, model, and requested work, so an allowance is not a guaranteed number of completed takeoffs.
