Features

Everything you need to bid with confidence

Built around the way roofing estimators actually work — from the plan set to a bid you trust.

📐

Plan Digitizer

Load multi-page PDF plans and trace with area, linear, count, and corner tools. Snap to corners and edge midpoints, set scale and pitch per page, duplicate a page’s setup, and copy drawings from one page to another.

📂

Scopes & Alternates

Split a job into scopes — roofing, gutters, solar — and price alternates side by side, like TPO vs. PVC. Materials, labor, and the recap switch between the whole job and any single alternate.

🔗

Conditions That Link

Each condition carries its own material layers, fasteners, and waste per material. Link one quantity to another and it follows the drawing live — and corner counts come straight from the shape you drew.

👷

Labor Your Way

Pay by the square or by the hour — both are built in. Set crew size and hours per day for each cost code and get labor hours and crew days for the whole job.

💰

Job Recap & Markup

A contractor-style recap by cost code — material, labor, equipment, and other — with overhead, profit, tax, bond, and the warranty as a priced line. See cost vs. sell and your margin before you send.

⚠️

Bid Checks

Before a bid goes out, ProtractorPro flags what would cost you: items priced at $0.00, items with no cost code, custom formulas that skip coverage or waste, and metal roof planes left outside the wind zones.

📦

Supplier-Ready Orders

Materials roll up by product across every page and are rounded once the job is combined — not item by item — so you order what the job needs. Export to Excel with a total sheet and a tab per page, plus panel cut lists for the metal shop.

☁️

Cloud Bids, Team-Safe

Bids, plans, and takeoffs sync to the cloud so you can work from any machine. Check a bid out to edit it while your team opens it read-only; autosave protects your work, and a crashed session never locks a bid for good.

Roofing Systems

Built for how roofs are actually bid

Not a generic takeoff tool with roofing bolted on. Each system does the math your estimators do by hand today.

Metal

Standing Seam

Set a slope direction on each plane and get a labeled panel cut list, rounded to your cut increment
A seam factor per panel profile turns roof area into the coil you actually order
Clips counted seam by seam, tighter in the wind-zone perimeter and corners
Export the cut list to Excel for the shop

Low Slope

Single-Ply Membrane

Roll counts from each roll’s net coverage after laps, not its label size
Perimeter half-sheets sized from the perimeter length you draw
Priced on the roll you buy, ordered on what it covers

Low Slope

Tapered Insulation

Draw crickets from shape templates right on the plan
Design to an R-value — minimum at the drain or average — and the thickness is solved for you
Board schedule with base, filler, and cover sizes
Switch between mechanically attached and adhered; fasteners swap for adhesive automatically

Steep Slope

Shingle & Tile

Pre-built systems for major shingle brands and concrete and clay tile
Hips, ridges, valleys, and flashings as linear conditions, with sticks and bundles that round the right way
Import a system and your library pricing applies

ASCE 7-16 & 7-22

Wind Zones, Counted Into the Bid

Low-slope perimeter and L-shaped corner zones sized from the building height
Steep-slope hip and gable layouts from the hips and ridges you draw
Outline each roof level with its own height — zones are drawn right on the plan
Enhanced fastening and clip counts go into the price, not a guess
Mark interior walls and skip corners that don’t apply
Any metal plane left outside the zones is flagged before the bid goes out

Workflow

From plans to bid in three steps

Upload Your Plans

Import PDF plans into the bid's plan library, set scale and pitch factor per page, and you're ready to measure. Multi-page plans are fully supported.

Digitize & Measure

Trace roof areas, ridges, valleys, and edges with precision snapping tools. Quantities flow into your conditions instantly as you draw.

Generate Your Estimate

Materials, labor, and wind-zone fastening fill in from your conditions. Clear any flags, apply markup in the job recap, and send a bid you know is right.
