Aesthetica Windows trade takeoff

Upload plans. Get a takeoff and a full budget.

For builders, architects, general contractors and owner-builders. Send us the architectural set, build the window schedule and material list here, and take away a spreadsheet with hard costs, soft costs and closing fees — then we route it to an authorized Aesthetica Windows dealer for a written quote.

Step one

Send us the architectural set

PDF, DWG, DXF, RVT, IFC, images or a zipped set. Plans are handled privately by our office and never shared with third parties.

Drag the set here

Up to 60 MB per file. Elevations, floor plans, window schedules and door schedules are the useful ones.

Step two

Window & door schedule

Every opening style we manufacture — tilt & turn, awning, casement, and more — in the profile that suits the exposure.

Already have a takeoff?

Import a CSV or Excel schedule

Drop in your own window schedule or material list and we will read the quantities and rates into the tables below for you to review and adjust. Useful headers: Mark, Style, Profile, Glazing, W in, H in, Qty for openings, and Item, Qty, Rate for materials. The file is parsed in your browser — it is never uploaded, stored or used to train anything. Up to 8 MB.

Mark	Style	Profile	Glazing	W in	H in	Qty	SF	Allowance

Tilt & turn

Sash tilts in at the head for secure ventilation and swings fully inward for cleaning and egress.

Tilt & slide / lift-slide

Large glazed runs to terraces and balconies, multipoint sealed.

Awning

Top-hung outswing — rain-open ventilation over kitchens, baths and stairs.

Casement

Side-hung outswing with compression seals; strongest air infiltration numbers.

Hopper

Bottom-hung inswing for cellars, mechanical rooms and light wells.

Fixed / picture

Non-operable glazing matched to the operable profile sightline.
