Measure any site straight off the aerial — areas, perimeters, roofs and counts.
Aerial Map Measure
Measure any address straight from the sky
Search an address and measure on high-resolution aerial imagery — right in your browser. Use it as a free, quick measure or connect it to a real project.
- Free map measure — no project needed, or connect it to an existing project.
- Measure areas, distances and perimeters, define cost items and connect them to your main estimate.
- Mark up the plan with built-in markup tools — text, lines, arrows and shapes.
Plan Takeoff
Take off quantities straight from your drawings
Upload PDF plans, set the scale once, and measure areas, lengths, counts and roofs on-screen. Every on-screen takeoff becomes a live quantity you can price — no printing, no scale rule, no double-handling.
- Area, linear, count and roof/pitch tools with snapping and ortho lock
- Calibrate scale per page and subtract voids or openings from areas
- Colour-coded markups you can reshape, rotate and label
- AI reads the drawing and suggests quantities for you to confirm

Bill of Quantities
A live Bill of Quantities that prices itself
Your takeoff measurements roll straight into a structured Bill of Quantities (BOQ). Apply rates and the sheet totals in real time — a fast, defensible preliminary estimate you can hand up or carry into a full estimate.
- Measured quantities auto-fill from the takeoff — always in sync
- Per-item rates, units and waste with instant line and sheet totals
- Group by plan page or by trade to match how you quote
- Import from and export to Excel or PDF

Estimate & WBS
Build the estimate on a real Work Breakdown Structure
Organise the job into a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) of trades, sub-trades and activities. Assign BOQ quantities to activities with a live link, so when a measurement changes the estimate follows automatically.
- Unlimited WBS nesting — trades, packages and activities
- Assign one BOQ quantity to many activities with a live link
- Margin, markup, contingency and GST controlled per line
- Lump Sum, Provisional and PC (Prime Cost) cost types

RateBuild
Build up unit rates from labour, material and plant
Compose composite unit rates from first principles — labour, materials and plant — then reuse them across every estimate. Your rates live in your own library so you price consistently, project after project.
- First-principles build-up: labour + materials + plant + margin
- A reusable rate library you own and refine over time
- Drop a built-up unit rate onto any estimate or BOQ line
- Runs offline in your browser — no rate database to install

Construction Program
Turn the estimate into a construction programme
Schedule the job on a working-day calendar with a Gantt chart and an activity-on-node network diagram. Link tasks with FS/SS/FF/SF dependencies and lag; the programme auto-schedules around weekends and holidays.
- Gantt chart plus a live activity network (precedence) diagram
- Finish-to-start, start-to-start and lag relationships with float
- Working-day calendars that skip weekends and public holidays
- Copy activities straight from the estimate — schedule in minutes

Cost Summary
See the whole job on one live cost summary
A live project summary rolls up selling price, base cost, gross profit, margin and GST — with cost-by-trade and cost-structure breakdowns, an indicative programme and a cost per m². Every figure traces straight back to the estimate.
- Headline totals: base cost, margin, sell price ex and inc GST
- Cost by trade / WBS and a labour-material-plant cost split
- Direct vs indirect, provisional exposure and cost per m²
- Export the summary to PDF for the client or the file

One connected workflow
Measure, take off, price and program — in one place
Map Metra connects every measurement to the estimate, so quantities flow through to cost, margin and program without re-entry.
AI Assist auto-names & scales plans, drafts the estimate from your documents, assigns quantities, and generates the construction program.
AI Plan Setup & Auto-Scale
AI names and scales your uploaded drawings, so they're ready to measure in seconds.
Plan Takeoff
Trace areas, measure lengths, count items and complete wall, roof and cubic takeoffs on scaled plans.
Bill of Quantities
Measured quantities flow into a BOQ grouped by area, with live cost, profit and margin.
Estimate Builder + RateBuild
Apply rates or build them from labour and materials, set margins and contingency, and watch selling price and GST update live.
Work Breakdown Structure
Organise scope and quantities into a WBS that ties measurement to cost and program.
AI Construction Program
AI builds a construction program from your estimate — durations, dates, calendars and cost on a visual Gantt.
Project Summary & Reports
One click produces a client-ready summary: price, margin, cost/m², quantity snapshot and cost-by-category charts.
How it works

Measured quantities flow into a Bill of Quantities grouped by area, with live cost, profit and margin.
5
Price the estimate
Apply rates (or build them from labour + materials with RateBuild), set margins and contingency, and watch selling price and GST update live.
6
Generate the program
AI builds a construction program from your estimate — durations, dates, calendars and cost allocation on a visual Gantt timeline.
7
Issue the summary
One click produces a client-ready summary: price, margin, cost/m², quantity snapshot, cost-by-category charts, claim schedule and provisional sums.
