STACK-IT

STACK-IT is the industry's trusted estimating and takeoff software for precast manholes and catch basins. Turn complex project requirements into accurate quotes, detailed shop drawings, and production-ready documents—all in a fraction of the time it takes by hand.


STACK-IT Estimator

Winning Estimates

Speed wins bids. STACK-IT accelerates your estimating and takeoff process so you can focus on what matters most—closing sales and keeping your customers happy.



Respond Rapidly

When specifications change mid-bid, you need to pivot fast. STACK-IT lets you adjust structures and recalculate quotes in moments, so you never miss a deadline.

Customer-Specific Requirements

Enter a customer's unique requirements once—DOT, county, city, or contractor—and STACK-IT remembers and applies them automatically on every future job.

All Shapes and Sizes

Round, square, or rectangular structures? Circular, elliptical, or rectangular pipes? Imperial or metric? STACK-IT handles them all, with automatic unit conversion built in.

Prevent Errors

Let STACK-IT handle the complex calculations so your team can focus on truly unique work. Automatic production drawings mean fewer human errors and more confidence on every job.



Automatic Collision Avoidance

STACK-IT works to prevent pipe penetrations near vertical seams. Customize the collision zone to your preferences, and choose whether to complete the structure or abort when a conflict can't be avoided.

Precision Elevations

Hole elevations are automatically calculated and positioned to maintain flow lines at specified elevations. When a percent of grade is entered, STACK-IT adjusts the wall elevation to keep the flow at centerline.

On-Screen Digital Protractor

Measure angles directly from CAD drawings or PDF plans and transfer them into STACK-IT with a click. When you revisit a structure, the protractor updates automatically to reflect the current angles.

Clear Communication

Whether you're communicating with customers or your shop floor, clarity is everything. STACK-IT produces documents that are informative, professional, and easy to understand.



Professional Quotes

Deliver clear, well-organized bidding documents that make an impression. Easily include or exclude prices and weights, and arrange information using flexible report layouts tailored to each customer's needs.

Detailed Shop Drawings

Automatically generated shop drawings save your CAD staff valuable time. Configure which views are displayed, adjust zero-degree positions and rotation direction, and even print bases inverted for manufacturing.

Flexible Reports

Choose from 15 included print layouts or create your own with the Report Layout Configurator. Generate tally sheets for parts, prices, and weights, or build completely custom layouts to match your workflow.

Easy Integration

STACK-IT fits seamlessly into your existing business operations. Whether you're using an ERP system, accounting software, or other tools, standard data formats make connecting easy.



Network Ready

Share data and report layouts across your network so every user works from the same information. Centralizing your data and quote files reduces maintenance and keeps everyone in sync.

Office and Remote

Work in the office or on the road—STACK-IT synchronizes offline files with your server so you always have the data you need, wherever you are.

Flexible Data Exchange

Export quote data and import stock prices with highly configurable transfer capabilities. Connect STACK-IT with ERP systems, sales order systems, inventory management, and more.

More Built-In Tools

STACK-IT is packed with capabilities designed to save you time and reduce complexity at every step.


Manual Stack Adjustment

For highly unusual circumstances, override the automatic stacking process and take manual control of how your structures are built.

Top Opening Control

Reposition and rotate the top opening on any structure. Opening position dimensions can be printed directly on shop drawings for manufacturing accuracy.

Stencil Machine Support

Design custom stencil templates and drive your stencil cutting machine directly from STACK-IT. Compatible with Bren and Diagraph brand machines.

Freight Computation

Automatically calculate truckload requirements and unloading charges based on part dimensions and vertical height—one less thing to figure out manually.

Precast Studio Integration

STACK-IT works hand-in-hand with Precast Studio, feeding committed jobs directly into demand management, production scheduling, inventory, and delivery.

Production Suite Ready

Connect with Production Suite for automated factory scheduling. Parts flow from STACK-IT into the schedule automatically, with real-time status feedback.
