The demo is not a video and not a cut-down toy. It is the whole workspace, running in this browser, with one thing removed: it cannot save. Drop your own PDF in it if you like — nothing is written to the computer and nothing is uploaded anywhere.

A bid, in five moves

This is the run-through we do on a call. It takes about ten minutes on a real set and it is the whole product.

01 · OPEN

Drop the set in

A whole multi-sheet PDF. Turbo reads the sheet numbers and titles off the drawings themselves, so A2.1 is called A2.1 without you typing it. It finds the scale off the title block where there is one.

02 · MEASURE

Trace, or don't

Trace a run and get LF and SF at once, snapped to the actual wall lines. Or drag a box around a whole unit and Turbo floods the inside of the walls and hands you the room — perimeter and floor area — in one drag.

03 · COUNT

One door, then all of them

Drag a tight box round one door symbol. Turbo finds the rest on the sheet, rotated and mirrored ones included, shows you every match before it commits, and greys out the ones you already counted. Tick more sheets and it does the whole set.

04 · PRICE

Your numbers, not ours

Every takeoff points at an item in your own material library — unit cost, waste, priming, finishing, labour, production rate. Burden and margin sit on top. Change one rate and the whole bid moves.

05 · SEND

Everything, from one set of numbers

Estimate, purchase list, cut list, crew hours, RFI sheet, change orders and a proposal you can print or sign — all off the same takeoff, so they can never disagree with each other.

Measure like a craftsman.
Bid like you mean it.

Everything between the plan set and the signed proposal, in one clean workspace.

01📏

Measure anything

Trace runs and rooms for LF and SF at once. Points snap to the real wall lines, Shift keeps a run dead straight, and the sheet slides under you when you reach the edge so a wall that runs off screen is still one motion.

02🏠

Auto room

Drag a box round a unit. Turbo floods the white inside the walls, walks the edge and squares it up — the inside face of the room, LF and SF, in one drag. Furniture and room names are ignored. A sheet that is a degree off square comes back square.

03🔎

Count one, get them all

Box one symbol and Turbo finds the rest — including rotated and mirrored door swings. Nothing is added until you have seen it: matches preview on the plan and a slider re-filters live. Tick as many sheets as you like and one box counts the whole set.

04

The markup set

Revision clouds, boxes, arrows, freehand, callouts — laid out in a menu that spells each one out instead of seven icons you have to hover. Markup is never priced and never reaches an estimate.

05🗃

Your price book

Seeded with real material for seven trades and completely yours to edit. Unit cost, waste %, two finishing passes, labour and a production rate on every item. Save a job's pricing and pull it into the next one.

06📄

Everything downstream

Estimate, purchase list, cut list optimised against stock lengths, crew hours, RFI sheet, change orders priced against a revision, and a proposal — all from the same takeoff.

07👥

One job list for the shop

Your company's jobs live in one place. Anyone you invite opens the same job — not a copy, not an emailed file. Turbo tells you when someone else has it open, and never lets two saves quietly overwrite each other.

08

Readable on a bad screen

A colourblind-safe palette where every colour also has its own dash pattern and count shape, so takeoffs stay tellable apart in greyscale and on a printed markup. Count marks scale to the sheet.

09🚦

Bid-day checks

A pre-flight that looks for the things that cost money: unpriced takeoffs, quantities that do not match the sheet, the same thing counted twice, a scale that was never set. It runs before you send, not after.

Cost math that matches how you actually bid.

Line-item costing the way an estimator thinks: material by the foot or by the each, two finishing passes priced separately, labour with a production rate behind it, burden for the cost of doing business, margin for the profit you keep. Tax lands after, on the total — never buried inside a line where it quietly inflates your margin.

line = qty (+waste) × ( material + priming + finishing + labour )  →  × (1 + burden%)  →  × (1 + margin%)

You can read every number back out of it. That matters the day a GC asks why the trim line says what it says.

Seven modules. Every trade covered.

Each module is a seeded material library and a way of measuring that fits how that trade actually bids. Mix them freely in one project.

One price. Everything in it.

No tiers to decode and nothing held back for a higher plan — including the AI. One seat per person who needs one, cancel any time from your own account page. Try the whole thing in the demo before you spend anything.

Your bids are your bids.

A bid is the most sensitive document a contractor owns. Here is exactly how Turbo treats yours — including the parts most software does not say out loud.

🔒

Locked at the database, not in the app

Every job, plan file and price is behind a per-company rule enforced on the server. Being signed in is not enough — the rule checks that you belong to that company and that the subscription is live, on every single read and write.

🏢

One company cannot see another

There is no shared table anyone can query. Two contractors bidding the same job on Turbo cannot see one another's numbers, and neither can we without leaving a record of it.

💳

We never touch your card

Payment goes to Stripe and stays with Stripe. Turbo never sees, stores or transmits a card number, and access is granted only when Stripe itself confirms the payment — never because a browser said so.

🔗

Sharing you can take back

Send a GC a link to a frozen copy of the proposal instead of a PDF. It expires, you can switch it off, and you can see whether it was ever opened. An emailed PDF is gone the moment you send it.

📥

Your data leaves whenever you want

One button writes a complete file of a job — every takeoff, price and setting. No export fee, no lock-in, no "contact sales to get your data". If you stop paying, you can still take everything with you.

💻

It also works with no internet

Turbo runs in the browser, so a job you have open keeps working on a site with no signal. It syncs when you are back. Nothing about a takeoff needs a server to happen.

Questions we actually get.

Do I have to install anything?

No. Turbo runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on Windows, Mac or a tablet. There is nothing to download, no IT ticket, and no version to keep up to date — everyone is on the current one.

How do my estimators share a job? Do we email PDFs around?

No. A job belongs to your company, not to a laptop. Anyone you invite opens the same job, sees the same takeoffs and the same numbers, and Turbo tells them if someone else has it open right now. Nothing gets emailed and there is never a "which version is current" argument. For people outside your company — a GC, an owner, an architect — you send a read-only link to a frozen copy, which you can expire or switch off later.

Can I use my own material prices?

That is the point. The library ships seeded so you are not staring at a blank screen, and every item is yours to change — cost, waste, priming, finishing, labour, production rate. Save a job's pricing to your price book and every later job starts from your numbers.

What happens to my work if I cancel?

You can export every job to a file before, during or after. Nothing is held hostage. Cancelled companies keep read and export access to what they have already done.

Is the demo the real thing?

Yes — the same program, every tool, and you can open your own plan set in it. The only difference is that it cannot save and cannot export, and anything you print comes out stamped. Nothing you do in the demo is written to your computer or sent anywhere.

Does it replace Bluebeam?

For takeoff and bidding, yes — the markup tools are laid out to be familiar on purpose. What Turbo adds is the half Bluebeam leaves to a spreadsheet: your prices, your burden and margin, and the estimate, purchase list, cut list and proposal that come out the other end without retyping a single quantity.

We bid several trades. Do I need one subscription each?

No. All seven modules are in every plan, and you can mix them in one job.

Can you help us get our pricing in?

Yes — that is included with the Shop plan and available otherwise. Send what you have, in whatever shape it is in.

Start free, or just ask.

Every feature, one price, no tiers. Or send a note and we will answer it ourselves — there is no sales team to get past.

Rather just get going?

Create an account and you are bidding in about a minute. Or open the demo first — it is the real workspace, on your own plans, and it costs nothing.

Open the demo first if you would rather look before you type anything at all.
