Material buyout
From takeoff to priced material buyout
Take the material list and turn it into a purchase-ready buyout — priced across your suppliers, with variance against the estimate so you know your margin before you order.
A takeoff answers what to buy; the buyout answers what it costs and from whom. TrueTakeoff prices your material list against connected suppliers, surfaces the variance against your estimate allowance, and gives you a clean, orderable list — so procurement isn't a spreadsheet exercise done twice.
- 1
Start from the takeoff
Your trade-organized material list with quantities and waste already applied.

Compare vendor pricing across the catalog you buy from and pick the buyout that works.

Order with confidence
Export a purchase-ready list and track variance against the estimate allowance.
Know your margin before the PO
Margin is decided at buyout, not at bid. When the purchase list drifts from the estimate — quantities, spec, or price — the job's profit moves with it.
TrueTakeoff shows the variance line by line, so overages are visible before an order goes out, not after the invoice arrives.

Frequently asked
- Can I compare more than one supplier?
- Yes — connect the suppliers you buy from and price any takeoff across all of them to see the variance.
- Does TrueTakeoff sell the materials?
- No. TrueTakeoff is a software matching layer — it prepares the buyout; you purchase from your own suppliers.
