Why timber suppliers choose MetreMate

Timber merchants use MetreMate to run a frame takeoff straight off the PDF plan. Set the scale, then measure wall plates, joists, bearers and rafters in linear metres and count studs and members with live totals. Layers keep walls, floor and roof separate, so your counter staff turn a builder's plans into a member by member bill of materials in minutes, priced by the linear metre, without a scale ruler.
