Description

Purple Hammer serves as a desktop solution for takeoff and estimating, tailored specifically for construction estimators and quantity surveyor teams, embodying the potential that Bluebeam aimed to achieve. Its standout features encompass a 120 FPS PDF viewer, comprehensive markups and measurements (such as length, area, count, perimeter, volume, and wall volume), and advanced drawing comparison capabilities that include auto alignment, blinking, and support for multiple candidates. Furthermore, it provides built-in estimating worksheets, allows the use of takeoff formulas with power syntax, and includes cost and contract lookup tables. The software also offers an open MCP for AI access, a one-click "Magic Measure" function, and the ability to snap to geometry, grid, and raster edges. Additionally, it comes equipped with live document and version control, and supports exporting marked-up PDFs, Excel files, and comparison GIFs. Compatible with both Mac and Windows, Purple Hammer is an all-in-one tool designed to streamline the estimating process for construction professionals. Its user-friendly interface and robust functionality make it an essential asset for enhancing efficiency and accuracy in construction projects.
