STACK-2026 provides tools for construction professionals to perform digital takeoffs. The software helps you measure blueprints, count items, and generate material lists for project estimates. It runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 hardware.
Your computer needs these specifications to run the software effectively:
Follow these steps to set up the software on your computer:
After the installer finishes, launch the program from your desktop shortcut. You must create a user profile to save your project data. The setup wizard asks for basic information to sync your takeoff lists to your local machine. Ensure your internet connection remains active during this first launch to confirm your license settings.
The program interface organizes your work into projects. Upload your blueprints in standard formats like PDF or image files. Use the scale tool to calibrate your drawings so measurements remain accurate. The takeoff tool allows you to trace lengths and perform area calculations. Export your totals directly to your estimating software or spreadsheet program for final pricing.
If the program fails to launch, verify that your Windows version is up to date. Occasionally, security software may pause the installation. If this happens, allow the installer to run through your security settings. Ensure you have administrator rights on your PC during the setup process.
