Questions

Do I need to install anything on my Mac?
No. PlanDesk runs in Safari or Chrome on your Mac, with nothing to install. A Mac app is also coming to the App Store.
Can I export my takeoff to Excel?
Yes. Every quantity, with its units, prices and totals, exports to an Excel workbook.
Can I calibrate a scanned drawing?
Yes. Drag along a dimension you know, type its real length, and every measurement on that sheet uses it.
Is it the same app on iPad and Windows?
Yes. One PlanDesk account works on Mac, iPad, iPhone, Windows and the web, with the same tools everywhere.
