Can I measure area and perimeter on the same plan?

Yes. Measure Tools is built for that. You can work through lengths, areas, and perimeter-style quantities in the same project workflow.

Does this work on standard PDF plans?

Yes. MetreMate is built around measuring construction PDF plans directly in the browser.

Can I keep my markups organized?

Yes. Your measurements can be grouped and reviewed inside the project workflow so the plan stays more manageable.

Is this included in the free plan?

Yes. Start free with no credit card, and try a paid plan with the 7-day trial if you want everything. The pricing page shows what is in each plan.

Does it measure in feet and square feet?

Yes. Lengths, areas, and perimeters read out in linear feet and square feet, with metric available if a job calls for it, so you can work in the unit your bid and your suppliers use without converting on the side.

How is on-screen measuring more accurate than scaling off a printout?

Once the sheet is scaled, you click straight on the plan and the number is worked out for you, so there is no scale ruler and no rounding off a paper print. A 24 x 36 set printed on 11 x 17 is roughly 46 percent size, not 50 percent, so a scale ruler reads it wrong. Scaling the PDF itself avoids that.

Can I switch between length, area, and perimeter without changing tools?

Yes. Length, area, and perimeter all live in the one interface, so you move between wall runs, room areas, and boundaries on the same plan without jumping between apps or workflows.

The old way

Too many manual workarounds slow the bid down

When the measurement workflow feels fragmented, you spend too much time translating plan information into something usable. That usually means slower takeoffs, messy markups, and more room for little mistakes.

Printing plans wastes time and money
Messy digital markups are harder to review later
Rechecking quantities chips away at bidding time
