Priced bid out.
AI takeoff, estimating, and quoting configured around your process. We help your team implement the workflow, validate the outputs, and put it into use.
Your software. Set up with you.
We help configure BuildVision around your estimating rules, check the outputs on your drawings, and train your team. Get practical help putting the platform to work, with support after setup.
- 01
Understand your rules
We work through your drawings, trade scope, assemblies, unit rates, exclusions, and estimating handoffs.
- 02
Configure and validate
We configure the agreed workflows and compare outputs with agreed reference estimates. Scope, review steps, and acceptance criteria are defined together.
- 03
Train and maintain
We train your team to review and use the outputs, then support and maintain your setup through your ongoing subscription.
Validation applies to the agreed scope and reference drawings. Your team retains responsibility for final quantities, pricing, exclusions, and bid approval.
Tell us what you bid.
We’ll show you what you’ll save.
Every trade has its own symbols, assemblies and unit pricing. BuildVision AI ships pre-trained models for the trades below — pick yours and we’ll tailor everything from the demo to the proposal templates.
Three steps from PDF to priced proposal.
See the existing platform in action: read plans, review quantities, and build a proposal. During setup, we configure these steps around your estimating rules.
Drag in a PDF plan set, or a ZIP of PDFs.
Computer vision identifies symbols and assemblies; you review, override, and lock counts.

Apply your assemblies and margins. Share the quote as a link your client can sign, or export quantities as CSV.
Estimate the value of time saved.
Enter your workload and the hours you expect to save per takeoff. Use agreed reference estimates during setup to measure that input.
This is a planning scenario, not a forecast. Time value is not cash savings or additional revenue. Subscription costs, review time and other work affect your result.
Built for the way you actually bid.
Symbol & legend detection
Auto-reads your legend, finds matching symbols across all sheets — even when scales differ.
Linear measurements
Conduit runs, ducts, baseboards, perimeters — pixel-accurate to your scale bar.
Your assemblies
Map detected items to your existing assemblies and unit pricing.
Quote generator
Branded quotes with your logo, costs and margins — shared as a link your client can sign.
Audit trail
Every count is traceable back to the marked-up page. Defendable on dispute.
Exports
Export takeoff quantities as CSV for Excel or Google Sheets. Push your bid where your team works.

Answers before you ask.
How accurate is the AI takeoff?
We agree the scope, reference drawings and estimates, review responsibilities, and acceptance criteria during setup. We validate the configured outputs against those references. Your team reviews quantities and approves the final bid.
What file types does it handle?
PDF construction plans. Upload a single PDF or a ZIP of PDFs.
Does it work for my trade?
Pre-trained models for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, concrete, demolition and general civil.
How does it integrate with my workflow?
Export takeoff quantities as CSV for Excel or Google Sheets, and share quotes as a link your client can sign in the browser. Your assemblies and unit rates stay your source of truth.
Is my project data secure?
Drawings are encrypted in transit and at rest. A quote stays private until you share it, and you can password-protect the shared link.
