AI Takeoff software for subcontractors & estimators.
Eliminate your manual measuring bottleneck — with 90% less manual effort to measure quantities from PDF construction drawings. Type your scope in plain English — our AI handles the takeoff and our QA team reviews every result.
Simply type your scope. Get the takeoff.
Six categories cover almost every subcontractor scope — areas, lengths, counts and elevations. Every output is annotated on the original drawing and downloadable as Excel.
