The problem it solves

Takeoff is the bottleneck. A serious commercial set takes days to measure by hand, which means you bid fewer jobs than you could, and the ones you do bid get priced under time pressure. Estimating software was supposed to fix that, but most of it still expects you to trace every line yourself.

  • Automatic AI takeoff from blueprints and DXFUpload the set and it extracts quantities across the drawings — with citations back to the source sheet, so every number can be traced to where it came from.
  • All trades, not oneThe whole building scope, not a single-trade calculator. Structure, envelope, interiors, MEP — the full set of work the drawings describe.
  • Risk and range modelingMonte-Carlo confidence bands at P10/P50/P80/P90, so you can see the spread on a number instead of betting the job on a single point estimate.
  • A price book that learnsStarts from a national baseline and adapts to your actual costs over time. It stays private to your company.
  • Labor productivity engineCrew output rates, regional wage data and complexity factors, so labor is modeled rather than guessed at as a percentage.
  • AI scope-gap detectionFlags the work the drawings imply but the estimate is missing — the omissions that turn a won job into a loss.
  • Job dashboardStatus pipeline and budget-versus-actual tracking once the job is live, so the estimate keeps earning after the bid goes out.
  • Runs in the browserNothing to install, no workstation license, no IT project to get started.

Common questions

Is this only for one trade?

No — and that's deliberate. It estimates the entire building scope across all trades. It is built for commercial and industrial work where a job involves many trades at once, not for pricing a single scope in isolation.

How do I know the AI's numbers are right?

Every quantity cites the sheet it was pulled from, so you can check any line against the drawing rather than taking it on faith. The risk model also shows you a confidence range instead of a single figure. Treat the output as a fast, reviewable first pass — the estimator still owns the bid.

What happens to my pricing data?

Your price book is private to your company. It starts from a national baseline so you're not building it from nothing, then adapts as you work.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in the browser, so there's no workstation install, no license server, and no version to keep in sync across a team.
