Painting
Surface by surface, system by system.
OmniTakeoff reads finish schedules and elevations to produce a painting takeoff with prep, primer, and finish coats broken out by surface and finish system.

What the takeoff produces
A painting takeoff that survives review.
Every line item carries the source it came from — sheet, detail, and spec paragraph — so the senior estimator can audit in minutes, not hours.
- Wall / ceiling / trim square footage by finish system
- Prep linear feet (caulk, patch, sand) per spec
- Primer + finish coat counts (one-coat, two-coat, three-coat)
- Specialty coatings (epoxy, intumescent, anti-graffiti) tracked separately
- VOC limits flagged for prevailing-wage / federal projects
Painting features
Built for the way your office actually bids.
Finish-schedule reader
Room finish schedules become structured rows — wall finish, ceiling finish, base finish each with their own takeoff lines.
Coating system aware
Primer + finish counts come from the spec, not assumed by surface type.
Specialty isolation
Epoxy, intumescent, and anti-graffiti coatings are their own scope group with their own labor units.
Spec-paragraph linking
Each finish row ties back to the spec section that called the manufacturer and product line.
Frequently asked
Questions we hear from estimators.
- Do you handle wallcovering?
- Yes — vinyl wallcovering and wood veneer report as separate scope groups with their own primer and adhesive lines.
