“We used to spend a full day measuring elevations by hand. Exayard gives us panel counts and trim lengths in minutes.”
“The opening deductions are spot on. No more overordering siding because we guessed wrong on window sizes.”
“We handle vinyl, fiber cement, and metal panels. Exayard keeps our estimates consistent across all product lines.”

What is siding and exterior estimating software?
Siding and exterior takeoff software automates the measurement of wall cladding areas, trim lengths, and accessory quantities from building elevations and floor plans. Siding contractors use it to calculate square footage of lap siding, board and batten, fiber cement panels, or other cladding materials while deducting windows, doors, and other openings. It also measures soffit, fascia, corner trim, J-channel, and starter strips — the linear components that often represent a significant portion of material cost. For multi-elevation projects, manual measurement from printed plans is slow and error-prone, especially when accounting for gable ends and varying wall heights.
AI-powered exterior takeoff software like Exayard reads building elevations to automatically calculate net wall areas by material type, deducting openings and applying waste factors. It traces trim runs along corners, window and door casings, rake edges, and water tables, generating linear footage by profile. The AI also identifies soffit areas under overhangs and fascia runs along eave lines. This means estimators no longer need to manually scale each elevation and subtract openings one by one. Teams using AI-assisted siding takeoffs complete exterior material estimates in a fraction of the traditional time, with fewer missed trim pieces and more accurate material orders.
Why siding contractors choose AI estimating
Net wall areas, trim quantities, and complete material lists from elevations.
Net wall area calculation
Measure cladding areas with automatic window and door deductions across all building elevations.
Trim length measurement
Trace corner boards, window trim, rake trim, and water table runs for accurate linear ordering.
Soffit and fascia quantities
Calculate soffit square footage and fascia linear feet from overhang details and eave lines.
Material type separation
Track different cladding materials — lap siding, panels, stone veneer — as separate quantity groups.
Opening deductions
Automatically deduct windows, doors, and louvers from gross wall areas with appropriate waste factors.
Elevation-by-elevation breakdown
Organize quantities by building face for crew scheduling and staged material delivery.
