Prometo as a lean alternative for PDF floor plans, takeoff and heat load preparation
Prometo starts earlier than complete energy platforms: with the PDF floor plan, room data and digital takeoff. It is a lean beta workflow, not a full replacement for established specialist software.
Short answer
Prometo may fit when a team needs to prepare rooms, areas and takeoff data from PDF plans. If the priority is full calculation, grants, PV, heat pump offers and established integrations, a broader platform may be the better fit.

From floor plan to reusable project data
The same basic structure matters across the workflow: start with project context, check room data, then carry cleaner information into the next technical step.
