# Takeoff

> What the MyBuildX Takeoff page shows, how it ties to a BuildX Studio subscription, and where takeoff work actually happens.

Source: https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/dashboard/takeoff/

The Takeoff page lives at https://mybuildx.com/takeoff. General Contractor and Subcontractor accounts see it in the sidebar. It needs a BuildX Studio subscription. Without one, the page is where you buy Studio.

## What you can do

- Buy Studio with **Upgrade to Studio**.
- With Studio: enter a **Planroom ID**, press **Load takeoff**, and read the sheets, measurements and quantities stored for that planroom in MyBuildX.
- Press **Open in Studio** to go to BuildX Studio, already signed in.

## Without a Studio subscription

The page is blurred and a window opens: **Turn your plans into a complete takeoff automatically**. It lists what Studio adds (**Takeoff drawings**, **Estimate**, **Summary report**).

- Press **Upgrade to Studio** to pay $200 per month on the Stripe checkout page. See [Plans and pricing](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/start/plans-and-pricing.md).
- Press **Contact support** to go to [Help](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/account/help-tickets.md).
- Close the window (✕) to go back to Estimates.

## With a Studio subscription

1. Open https://mybuildx.com/takeoff. You see "Checking your Studio access…", then the page.
2. Enter a **Planroom ID** and press **Load takeoff**.
3. The page lists **Sheets**, **Measurements**, and a **Quantities summary** for that planroom. The feed is read-only.
4. Press **Open in Studio** to work in BuildX Studio.

## Where the data comes from

This page and the estimate editor's **Load rows** read takeoff data kept in MyBuildX's own planrooms. BuildX Studio keeps its own data, and Studio takeoffs don't show up here. MyBuildX has no screen for adding takeoff data, so for most accounts the page shows "No sheets yet" and "No measurements yet". The two apps keep separate numbers today.

Use Studio itself for drawings and takeoff work. See [Takeoff in Studio](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/studio/takeoff.md) for what works there today.

## Good to know

- The Studio subscription is what this page checks. Buying Contractor ID doesn't unlock it.
- If the page says "Could not verify your plan", reload it. If it keeps happening, open a ticket in [Help](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/account/help-tickets.md).
