FAQ

Questions

How can I extract attic stock and spare parts from a construction spec PDF into Excel?

Send the project manual PDF to SpecTakeoff. It returns an Excel schedule of all attic stock, spare parts, special tools, O&M deliverables, training, warranties and maintenance service, with the page number and an exact quote from the spec for every row.

Is there a tool that turns a spec book into a closeout checklist?

Yes. SpecTakeoff turns CSI MasterFormat spec books into a closeout requirements schedule in Excel, so the contractor knows every owner deliverable before bidding and at closeout.

Does SpecTakeoff use AI to guess requirements?

No. Every row is cut directly out of the PDF text and re-checked against its page before it is written. Rows that fail the check are dropped and listed on the Checks sheet.

Can it read scanned spec pages?

Yes. Scanned pages are read with OCR, and rows from OCR pages are marked so you can double-check them.

How much does SpecTakeoff cost?

A single spec costs $299 per document. Monthly plans start at $990 for up to 5 specs. You can test it free on one completed project first.
