Serenade reads your structural set, frames the house in 3D, and ties every line of the takeoff to the pieces it buys, so you can check the count before you place the order.
Send a PDF or a link. You get scope, timeline and cost back within one business day.This is a real Serenade output, not a mock-up: a two-story production plan, 105 walls and 69 openings, framed from the plan set and counted line by line.
We support elevations and options as part of the same takeoff. Switch them on and off in the viewer, and the framing and the list follow.
Each elevation and option is built into the model. Activate or deactivate it and its walls, openings, headers and posts appear or go away. Try it in the demo above.
Our lists include add and remove items based on the framing impact of each change: the core house first, then each option's adds, removes and net.
Every combination is built from the same data, so you can see the quantities for any mix without ordering a new takeoff.
Every plan set goes through the same disciplined review. You get the list, and the model that checks it.
Studs, plates, headers, beams, posts, sheathing and hardware, grouped by level, size and section. Delivered as a clean spreadsheet, or formatted for your ERP system, coded to your SKUs.
Every takeoff line is linked to the pieces it buys. Hover a line and the studs light up; hover a stud and its line lights up. Export the lists to Excel straight from the viewer.
One sheet per wall panel with cut lists, rough openings and sheathing seams, plus floor layouts and EHX and EZX saw files for panel shops.
What is in, what is by others, and what the plans do not say. Anything we assumed is written on a note at the top of the list, before it reaches your customer.
The lists, the model and the saw files come out in the formats your office and your shop already run on.
Material lists are formatted to any major ERP system, with your SKUs, your sections and your notes at the top of the quote, so the person reviewing sees what was assumed before it goes out.
The framing model exports as IFC, with every stud, plate, header and post as its own member, for Revit and other BIM viewers.
Model outputs support EHX and EZX, and can be uploaded into plate saws, so the cut list the shop runs matches the model you approved.
Built around the customer. Outputs are customized to your needs, including your own SKU system, naming and section order. If your office runs on a different system, tell us and we will match it.
If the plans do not specify it, we do not guess. We flag it, carry a stated default, and tell you where the call is yours.
Conflicts between drawings and schedules, missing callouts and ambiguous dimensions are caught and listed before delivery. Your team decides, not us.
Powered by Vectrai, our plan-processing engine, with a person checking the result before it leaves the building.
A PDF or a link, plus project notes. We confirm the project, the timeline and the cost within one business day.
Structural pages are identified, non-structural sheets filtered out, and missing or unclear items flagged before work starts.
Walls, openings, headers and posts are built into a 3D model from the same data as the list, and the two are tied out against each other.
The takeoff, scope notes and flagged items, plus the model and wall books when they are in scope. One revision is included.
No tiers and no feature gating. Every project gets the full takeoff for its scope.
Single-family homes.
Larger and more complex builds.
Accessory dwelling units, additions, garages and in-law units.
Need only part of the house? Scope can be limited to wall framing, with floors and roof by others, and the lists say so.
The short answers. The rest is on the FAQ page.
A PDF of the plan set, or a link to it, with any project notes: your supplier, your preferred stud length, anything you want in or out of scope. If the set has structural sheets, send those too.
Within one business day you get project confirmation, a timeline and the cost. Delivery time depends on the size and complexity of the set.
We do not guess. The item goes on the open-items list with the default we carried, and a note on the takeoff so whoever reviews the order sees exactly what was assumed.
Yes. Material lists can be formatted for any major ERP system, coded to your SKUs, models export as IFC, and EHX and EZX files go to plate saws. If you use a different system, we customize the output to fit it.
Yes, when it is in scope. The model is a single file you open in a browser. Each takeoff line is linked to its pieces, and the lists export to Excel from the viewer.
Yes, or we leave them out. Scope is set up front: full framing, or wall framing only with floors and roof by others.
One revision is included with every project. Further revisions are quoted as a change to the original scope.
PDF or link, plus any notes. Scope, timeline and cost back within one business day.
