What is Purple Hammer?

Purple Hammer is a comprehensive desktop solution developed specifically for construction estimators and quantity surveyor teams, aiming to fulfill the vision that Bluebeam sought to achieve. This software boasts impressive features, including a PDF viewer operating at 120 FPS, extensive markup and measurement tools covering aspects like length, area, count, perimeter, volume, and wall volume, as well as sophisticated drawing comparison options that facilitate auto alignment, blinking, and support for multiple candidates. In addition, it offers built-in estimating worksheets, the ability to utilize takeoff formulas with advanced syntax, and access to cost and contract lookup tables. The platform is further enhanced by an open MCP for AI integration, a one-click "Magic Measure" function, and the capability to snap to geometry, grid, and raster edges. Moreover, it provides live document and version control, allowing users to export marked-up PDFs, Excel files, and comparison GIFs efficiently. Compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems, Purple Hammer is meticulously crafted to optimize the estimating workflow for construction professionals. Its intuitive design coupled with its powerful features establishes it as a critical tool for improving both the efficiency and precision of construction projects, ultimately driving better outcomes in the industry.

What is Easy Takeoffs?

Easy Takeoffs gives contractors and estimators an easy and affordable way to do digital takeoffs from PDF plan sets. Users measure, count, and mark up drawings, and material quantities update as the measurements change. Included assemblies cover common trades such as concrete, framing, drywall, roofing, flooring, and painting, and each one can be adjusted or rebuilt with a company's own materials and formulas. Practical AI features like automatic sheet naming, scale detection, and symbol counting cut setup time, while plan search finds text across every sheet. Revised drawings upload into the same project, where the changes are compared and existing measurements carry over. The software exports annotated PDFs and CSV files and runs in a web browser on Windows, Mac, iPad, and Chromebook, with every project saved to the cloud. Easy Takeoffs focuses on the takeoff: users export the quantities and price them in the estimating spreadsheet or software they already use.
