AI Construction Estimating & Takeoff
Measure the drawings and build the estimate in minutes, with your estimator signing off before the bid goes out.
AI construction takeoff measures quantities from your drawings in minutes instead of days, then helps build the cost estimate. Your estimator reviews and approves before the bid goes out, so you can bid more jobs faster without hiring more estimators or trusting a black box.
What is AI Construction Estimating & Takeoff?
Takeoff is one of the slowest parts of bidding. Someone has to measure quantities from the drawings, check the plans, price the work, and turn it all into a bid. AllAI Groundwork speeds that up. It pulls quantities from your plans in minutes, builds the estimate, and flags anything that needs a closer look, such as a bad scale, a revision, or a messy markup. Your estimator reviews the numbers, makes adjustments, and signs off before the bid goes out. You keep control of the number. You just stop spending days getting to it. The result is simple: more bids with the same estimating team.
Everything estimating and takeoff should do
Takeoff
Measure quantities straight from drawings in minutes, with uncertain items flagged for review.
Built on the AllAI Groundwork platform
The same AI and data that power your whole AllAI Groundwork workflow.
Measures From the Drawings
AllAI pulls quantities straight from your plan set, so estimators do not have to measure everything by hand.
Flags What It Is Unsure About
Bad scales, revisions, unclear markups, and odd quantities are surfaced for review instead of silently guessed.
Flows Into the Job
The estimate can connect to scheduling and cost tracking, so the bid becomes the budget without re-entering the same data.
How it works

Estimating & takeoff FAQs
How Accurate Are AI Takeoffs?
AllAI measures directly from your drawings and flags anything it is unsure about. Your estimator reviews before the bid goes out, so you get the speed of AI without trusting a number you have not checked.
How Much Faster Is It?
Most teams can cut takeoff time dramatically, often around 5x. That helps teams bid more jobs with the same estimating crew.
Does It Replace Our Estimators?
No. It handles the slow measuring work and flags what needs a closer look. Your estimator reviews, adjusts, and owns the bid. It makes estimators faster, not redundant.
Can I Trust It With My Bid Number?
You do not have to trust it blindly. AllAI shows its work, flags what it is unsure about, and keeps the estimator review step before anything goes out. AI does the grind. Your team keeps control of the money.
What If the Drawings Are Messy or Revised?
AllAI flags bad scales, revisions, unclear markups, and possible drawing issues instead of guessing silently. A drawing problem becomes a heads-up, not a hidden error in your bid.
Does It Work With Our Tools?
Yes. It works with tools like Procore, Autodesk, PlanGrid, Bluebeam, Sage, and Microsoft Project, or can run as your platform.
