Applied AI — Document processing
Pro Takeoff
From blueprints to bids. An AI platform that turns construction plan PDFs into accurate, bid-ready takeoffs — in hours, not days.
Visit protakeoff.com →The problem
Estimating a construction job means measuring every quantity off the plans — by hand, sheet by sheet. It's slow, error-prone, and the bottleneck on how many bids a contractor can put out. Handymen, residential builders, and estimating firms all lose deals simply because the takeoff takes too long.
What we built
An end-to-end pipeline: upload plans, and the system reads them, quantifies the work across trades, and hands back deliverables a contractor can bid from immediately.
Document ingestion
Blueprint PDFs in — pages classified, sheets split, scale and trades detected.
AI takeoff engine
Quantities extracted across 15 trades — concrete, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and more.
Marked-up output
Color-coded, trade-annotated blueprint PDFs plus room-by-room cost summaries.
Bid-ready deliverables
Editable Excel with material/labor splits and an interactive web report to bid from.
