FlowManual
Construction takeoff and estimating software that keeps drawings, quantities, and pricing
FlowManual is construction takeoff and estimating software for contractors, combining PDF drawing takeoff with an estimating workbook in a single project workspace. It supports mechanical equipment and piping counts, ductwork runs, concrete areas and volumes, and general counting of custom items, alongside document review for specs, quotes, and contracts.
Takeoff quantities can be linked to estimate rows so they refresh when drawings change, while manual edits remain under your control. The estimating workbook supports formulas, multiple sheets, reusable assemblies, and rate libraries, with import from Excel and export to Excel, CSV, or a proposal PDF. Additional capabilities include drawing revision comparison, bid leveling, and document analysis for scope, costs, deadlines, and exclusions. It runs in the browser with role-based project access, activity logging, and enterprise SSO.
FlowManual is aimed at general contractors and trade subcontractors. It offers a free plan with a daily usage allowance covering all features, unlimited projects and uploads, and email support; a Pro edition adds unlimited usage and priority support, with custom sales-led pricing for teams.
