Linked to the quote: A measurement fills the line's quantity and stays in sync.

Trace and total

Square feet, linear feet, and stall counts, from imagery.

Draw around a lot, a lawn, or a roof and get the area. Trace a crack run or a fence line and get the length. Tap stalls or trees to count them. Every measurement saves to the job site, so the numbers are still there next season.

Areas, runs, and counts in one tool
Multiple shapes per measurement, summed automatically

Measuring this one

Into the quote

Measurements become quantities with one tap.

A measured 28,400 sq ft becomes the quantity on your sealcoat line. Edit the measurement later and the linked line updates with it, so the measurement and the quote never drift apart.

One tap from measurement to line item
Linked lines update when the measurement changes
Works in the units you bid: sq ft, linear ft, each

Line items in the MakeHay quote builder, each with a quantity field and a ruler button that pulls in a saved site measurement.

The ruler on any quantity field measures the site from satellite and fills the line with the result.

FAQ

Common questions

Is satellite measurement free inside MakeHay?

Yes. Saved measurements, quote linking, and historical imagery are all part of the free CRM, with no paid tier. Just need a number today? The free satellite measurement tool at makehay.io/satellite-measurement-tool needs no account at all.

Is satellite measurement accurate enough to bid from?

Within a few percent on typical properties, which is accurate enough to bid sealcoat, striping, mowing, and roof footprints with confidence. For work where inches matter, measure on site; for winning the job without burning an afternoon driving, satellite is the tool.

What happens to a measurement after I save it?

It stays on the job site. Reopen it next season, edit the shapes, and any quote line linked to it updates with the new quantity, so the measurement and the quote never drift apart. Each one also records which imagery date it came from.

Does it work for lawns, roofs, and driveways, not just parking lots?

Yes. Areas are areas: lawns, beds, driveways, roofs, fields, and building footprints from a plan view. Lawn care, roofing, and pressure washing businesses use it exactly the way striping crews do.
