SimplyCount

Plumbing Takeoff Software — Count Every Symbol Automatically

SimplyCount finds and marks every plumbing symbol on your plan set — fixtures, valves, cleanouts, floor drains and riser symbols — in minutes, on your own machine. You review each symbol's detections on the marked sheet and accept or reject them before anything leaves the app, and unverified counts show as a floor (≥), never dressed up as a total.

SimplyCount is on-prem AI takeoff software built for plumbing estimators. Instead of dragging a highlighter across every sheet, you point at each symbol from your own legend and the engine finds every instance across the whole plan set. You then review the marked-up detections, reject or add any you need, and export a count you can defend. Run it fully on-prem so your drawings never leave your device. Because SimplyCount is self-learning, teaching it a non-standard plumbing symbol once means it counts that symbol on every future job.

Why it's hard by hand

Hand-counting plumbing symbols across a full plan set costs hours you don't have.

A single missed or double-counted device can turn a winning bid into a loss.

Inconsistent symbols and standards make a hand tally hard to defend.

How SimplyCount handles it

What you get

  • Finds every instance of the symbols you count most in plumbing work.
  • Learns your custom or non-standard symbols — teach it once, count it forever.
  • Exports to Excel, CSV and PDF for your estimating stack.
  • 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.
  • SimplyCount's benchmark is 60 unique symbols across 168 pages in about an hour, including review — roughly 168× faster than counting by hand. How we measured it.

Questions

Common questions

Can SimplyCount count plumbing symbols automatically?
Yes. Point at the symbol from your own legend and SimplyCount finds and marks every instance across the whole plan set, then lets you review and sign off on the total before it lands in a bid.
Can we keep everything inside our network?
Your plan sets, yes: detection runs locally, results sit in an encrypted local database, and there is no upload step. SimplyCount checks its licence once, when the app launches — that check needs an internet connection and carries licence state only, never your drawings; after launch, counting runs fully offline. For environments that cannot allow any outbound connection, a fully offline build with no licence check is available at negotiated pricing — see the system requirements page.
How fast is it, really?
SimplyCount's benchmark is 60 unique symbols across 168 pages in about an hour — roughly 168× faster than counting by hand. Most sheets go from open plans to a draft count in minutes.
Can it learn our custom or non-standard symbols?
Yes. SimplyCount is self-learning: teach it a symbol once from your own legend and it counts that symbol on every future job, getting more accurate the more you use it.
