Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

Construction teams manually review hundreds of PDF drawings and documents for quantity takeoffs and compliance checks, taking 10-20 hours per project. Small errors cost $10,000s to fix when discovered later in construction.

✅

The Solution

AI analyzes construction PDFs to automatically measure areas, lengths, and counts, extract data from tables and specifications, and perform compliance checks. Results delivered in Excel format with source citations within 24 hours for CAD drawings.
