ComparisonRevailo vs On-Center / On-Screen Takeoff
A fair, side-by-side look at how Revailo’s purpose-built masonry estimating compares with On-Center / On-Screen Takeoff—and where each one fits.
The short version. Revailo is the better choice when masonry is your core business and you want takeoffs that already understand walls, openings, CMU and brick coursing, rebar, grout cells, and bond beams without building those rules yourself. If your bids live and die on masonry detail and you want AI wall and opening detection plus 3D review out of the box, Revailo is built for exactly that. On-Screen Takeoff remains a strong, proven generalist for shops covering many trades.
Feature comparison
| Feature | Revailo | On-Center / On-Screen Takeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Masonry-specific assemblies (CMU/brick, rebar, grout cells, bond beams, corners) | Built-in | General-purpose (build via custom templates) |
| AI wall & opening detection | Built-in (deep learning) | AI-assisted takeoff (general, via Takeoff Boost) |
| 3D visualization | Built-in | Primarily 2D |
| Material & labor reporting | Masonry-specific, built-in | General reporting; estimating via Quick Bid |
| Cloud-based access | Cloud-native | Desktop-based with cloud collaboration |
| Learning curve | Masonry workflow out of the box | Moderate; setup needed for masonry detail |
| Export formats | PDF, Excel, IFC | PDF, Excel |
| Who it's built for | Masonry estimators & contractors | Multi-trade estimators & GCs |
| Vertical rebar schedules & coursing logic | Built-in | Not masonry-specific |

Why masonry teams choose Revailo
Masonry intelligence built in
Revailo ships with masonry assemblies, including CMU and brick, rebar, grout cells, vertical rebar schedules, corner assemblies, and bond beams, so you are not rebuilding masonry rules from generic measurement templates.
AI takeoffs tuned for masonry
Deep-learning wall and opening detection is purpose-trained on masonry plans, turning sheets into structured wall and opening takeoffs instead of generic shapes and counts.
3D review and richer exports
See takeoffs in 3D to catch missed walls and openings before bid day, and export to PDF, Excel, and IFC for downstream BIM and detailing workflows.
Cloud-native and quick to start
Cloud-based access from any modern laptop, so you can start producing masonry takeoffs without first configuring trade-specific assemblies and formulas.
Where On-Center / On-Screen Takeoff fits
On-Screen Takeoff is a deservedly popular, battle-tested tool, and for many shops it is the right call. It covers a broad range of trades, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, and drywall, with mature, precise measurement tools such as typical areas, typical groups, and repeating pages, plus a well-regarded plan overlay and comparison feature for tracking addenda. Its AI-assisted Takeoff Boost speeds up early measurement, and its deep integration with Quick Bid gives estimators a proven path from takeoff into detailed estimating. Backed by On Center and ConstructConnect, it has a large user base, established training resources, and years of refinement. If you estimate across many trades from a centralized office and value a familiar, flexible generalist over masonry-specific automation, On-Screen Takeoff is an excellent fit.
