How to Count Doors & Hardware on a Blueprint, Fast and Defensibly
Counting doors & hardware by hand is slow and error-prone. Door and hardware symbols on architectural sheets are tedious to tally by hand. SimplyCount finds and marks every one on your plan set automatically, and you sign off on the total.
To count doors & hardware on a blueprint with SimplyCount, you import the plan set as a PDF and point at the doors & hardware symbol from your own legend. The engine sweeps every sheet and marks each instance, and a live count updates as you review. Miss one? Add it. See a wrong detection? Reject it and the total updates and the number you export is the one you signed off on. Everything runs locally on your own machine, even a scanned page gets counted without your plans ever touching a cloud service.

SimplyCount runs on your own machine: counting is local, plan sets are never uploaded, and results live in an encrypted local database inside your firewall. The license is checked once, at app launch, over HTTPS; after that, counting runs fully offline; a fully offline build with no license check is available for air-gapped environments at negotiated pricing, and firms that want one shared install can run SimplyCount on a server inside their own firewall.
