Free paving takeoffs, from the aerial.
Contractors pay for aerial takeoffs by the plan, the credit or the license. In Crewtavo they’re part of the free software: box a parking lot and Find paving outlines the asphalt in your browser, count stalls by the row, mark striping and repairs, and price it all from your own list into a proposal with the takeoff sheet.
- Asphalt 25,752 SF 2,861 SY, islands cut out
- Stalls 76 4 stall rows
- Arrows 4
- Crack seal 57 ft
From an address to a signed paving proposal.
The takeoff, the estimate, the proposal, the job and the invoices are one project on one page, so nothing gets typed twice.
Step by step: Bid a paving job from the aerial
- 1 Start a takeoff Open Paving, pick the client and the property, and the map opens on the lot, ready to find the paving.
- 2 Let Find paving outline it Put a box round the lot and press Outline. The asphalt is outlined in your browser, parked cars included and buildings left out. Tap to add a drive or take out an island.
- 3 Mark stalls, striping and repairs Draw a stall row along each row of parking and it counts a stall every 9 ft. Add lines, crosswalks, arrows, patches, crack seal and curb.
- 4 Price the estimate Choose sealcoat or new paving and its depth, and every service whose formula reads the takeoff is priced from your list, with its cost and margin.
- 5 Send it, schedule it, invoice it The proposal carries the takeoff sheet and the client signs online. Then it’s a job on a crew’s day, with deposit, progress and final invoices.
Everything on the lot, measured. Areas, lines and counts, each its own takeoff item in its own color.
-
Find paving
Free, with no account: put a box round a lot and it’s outlined on your own computer or phone. The aerial isn’t sent anywhere.
-
Stall rows
One line along a row of 40 stalls, not 40 taps: it counts a stall every 9 ft and the lines between them. ADA stalls are tapped on their own.
-
Striping
White, yellow, blue and red lines, crosswalks and stop bars by the foot; arrows, stencils and symbols by the count.
-
Repairs
Patches and mill and overlay by the square foot or yard, and crack seal drawn along the cracks.
-
Curb and site
Curb by the foot; wheel stops, bollards, speed bumps and drains by the count. Islands and buildings cut out of the asphalt.
-
A takeoff sheet
The drawing on the aerial with a scale bar in feet that stays true however it’s printed, a north arrow and every item’s quantity.

Is Crewtavo right for you? An honest take.
Free takeoffs are a great fit if
- You bid sealcoating, striping, crack sealing and paving from the aerial
- You want the takeoff, the price and the proposal in one place
- You’d rather not pay by the takeoff, the credit or the seat
- You want clients to see the takeoff sheet on the proposal
A paid takeoff may suit you better if
- You bid new construction from civil plans
- You want a team to draw every takeoff for you
- You need imagery sharp enough to see every stripe and crack
Paving takeoff FAQ.
Is the paving takeoff really free?
Yes. Takeoffs are part of Crewtavo, which is free for any size of business, and Find paving runs in your own browser with no account and no fee. Crewtavo runs in your own Railway account, and you pay Railway directly: its Hobby plan is $5 a month and includes $5 of usage.
How does Find paving work?
Put a box round a lot and press Outline: an AI model running in your browser outlines the pavement inside the box, parked cars included, and leaves out buildings mapped in OpenStreetMap. Tap anything it missed to add it, or an island to take it out. The first time, it downloads a model of about 60 to 75 MB. In Chrome, Edge and Safari 26 or later each box takes under a second; in other browsers about 10 seconds.
Can it find a whole lot at once?
With fal.ai, yes. Find everything in view outlines all the asphalt and concrete on the map at once and counts striped stalls, on your own fal.ai account at about half a cent per thing it looks for. Crewtavo doesn’t charge for it, and fal.ai only sees the aerial picture.
How accurate is it?
As accurate as the imagery and the outline. The free US imagery is about 1 ft a pixel where a state publishes its own and about 2 ft elsewhere, which is plenty for areas and stall rows but too coarse to see every stripe. Check each outline against the imagery: cars parked along a curb can end up outside it, so tap them back in.
Does it work for driveways and concrete?
Yes. A tap on a driveway or sidewalk is often all Find paving needs, and Asphalt, Concrete and Gravel are each their own takeoff item, priced by the square foot or square yard.
Is Crewtavo affiliated with PropertyIntel or Beam AI?
No. Crewtavo is an independent open-source project. PropertyIntel, Go iLawn, Beam AI and Attentive.ai are trademarks of their owners, used here only to describe the comparison.
