AI Estimation & Take-off for Construction
Get to a first-pass take-off faster.
Turn construction drawings into a structured starting point for cable, outlet, and HVAC scope so your estimating team can spend more time validating quantities, pricing, and building a competitive bid.

Take-offs should not start with hours of manual counting
Drawing sets can require estimators to repeatedly locate, count, and categorize objects before they can begin the higher-value work of validating scope and pricing the job. This creates pressure when bid windows are tight, drawings change, and multiple projects are being priced at the same time.
Tight bid windows
Less time to review and prepare accurate estimates.
Changing drawings
Rework when new versions are issued.
Multiple projects
Teams are often pricing several opportunities simultaneously.
Scope complexity
Information is spread across numerous sheets and disciplines.
From drawings to a structured take-off
The AI Estimation & Take-off agent processes supported drawings, identifies relevant objects, and organizes the output for estimator review. Your team validates the results before they move into the estimate.
-
Read
Process construction drawings and identify relevant objects.
-
Extract
Pull quantities and scope information for selected trades.
-
Organize
Structure the output by system, type, or custom categories.
-
Review
Your estimator validates the results before they move into the estimate.
Built for the people who estimate work
Estimator
Spend less time on repetitive drawing review and more time validating quantities, scope, and pricing.
Preconstruction Manager
Help the estimating team move opportunities through preconstruction more efficiently.
MEP / Specialty Contractor
Support repetitive take-off work across relevant cable, outlet, and HVAC scope.
Give your estimating team a stronger starting point
Less repetitive drawing review
Provide a first pass that estimators can validate instead of starting every take-off from zero.
More time for estimating judgment
Put skilled time into scope, assumptions, pricing, and risk.
Faster response to opportunities
Reduce the manual work that has to happen before estimating can progress.
A reviewable starting point
Keep the estimator responsible for validating the final quantities.

The current AI Estimation & Take-off agent is designed to support selected construction drawings and scope related to cable, outlets, and HVAC elements. It can identify relevant objects, extract quantities, and organize the results into a structured starting point for estimator review.
Yes. The agent is intended to support the estimator, not replace their judgment. Estimators should review and validate extracted quantities, scope, assumptions, and any project-specific requirements before the information is used in the final estimate.
AlphaBOLD can design the agent around your existing estimating workflow, project data, and connected systems. The goal is to use AI for the repetitive extraction and organization work while allowing your team to keep its existing review, pricing, approval, and estimating processes.
