Flooring estimating software
Measure the plan.
Quote the job.
SquareTally turns an architect's PDF into measured rooms, waste-aware material quantities, and draft estimates in your own QuickBooks — all in minutes instead of an evening. Then it renders every room in its chosen floor, so clients see the result before they sign.
152.6 sq ft measured vs 153 annotated on a real architect's plan — 99.7% accurate.
Herringbone in the study — 20% waste applied automatically.
Four steps. No CAD degree.

Questions we get asked
- Does SquareTally work with QuickBooks Online?
- Yes. SquareTally is an Intuit-reviewed app. You connect your own QuickBooks Online company once, and SquareTally writes two estimate drafts in QuickBooks Online per job — one for material, one for labor. Both land in QuickBooks as drafts for you to review and send.
- How does it handle waste on herringbone and other patterns?
- Each laying style carries its own waste percentage, which you set. The common defaults are 10% for straight or plank layouts and 20% for herringbone. Ordered quantity is the measured square footage multiplied by one plus the waste factor, rounded up. Our free herringbone waste calculator does the sum for a single room.
- Does it send estimates to clients automatically?
- No. Everything SquareTally writes to QuickBooks is a draft. Nothing reaches a client until you review it and send it yourself from QuickBooks.
- Do I need CAD software or a CAD background?
- No. You upload the architect's PDF, calibrate the scale by clicking two ends of any dimension already printed on the plan, then outline each room with a few clicks. Square footage is computed from the traced polygon at drawing precision.
