How does Groundplan work?

Once you’ve uploaded your PDF plan, you’ll measure square meterage areas using the Area Tool. To measure a length of timber for instance, you’ll use the Length tool.

You can quickly calculate the square meterage of the slab to be poured using the Length and Area tools with speed or dig into the detail to measure areas that are likely to be more intricate.

Use the library of assemblies and catalogue items to transform your measurements into a full-scale estimate of your project.

Use Groundplan’s ‘Stages’ to break down your estimate.

Just follow a few simple steps to calculate your next concrete estimate.

  1. Upload your PDF plan and set the scale. For instance: A3 @ 1:100.
  2. Name your ‘Stage’, it may be ‘Pavement’ for instance.
  3. Whip around your plan and trace the areas as Groundplan begins calculating the measurements and the associated costs.
  4. You can add as much detail as you like, nail down those intricate areas, and estimate your time and cost down to a hair’s breadth. Or, if you just want an overview, you can use it to simply count, measure and calculate.
