Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

Construction teams spend 5-10 hours manually measuring and extracting quantities from design documents, leading to errors, missed design problems, and $40K+ in avoidable costs per project. Manual processes are slow and error-prone.

✅

The Solution

AI-powered cloud platform that automatically extracts quantities, measurements, and areas from 2D PDFs and 3D BIM models using GPT-4 integration. Users can ask natural language questions like "How much concrete is on level 2?" and instantly receive structured data, reducing takeoff time by 5x.
