Capabilities

What you get with every plan set.

Upload the PDFs. BuildVision counts and measures them, prices the takeoff with your rates, and shows where every number came from.

Full feature list →
  • Counts from your legend

    BuildVision reads the legend table on your plans and finds the matching symbols across a sheet or the whole set, even when the scales differ.

  • Lengths and areas to scale

    Conduit, duct and pipe runs, plus walls, floors and roofs, measured against the scale on each sheet.

  • Your assemblies and rates

    Map what was counted to your assemblies and unit rates. Your pricing stays the source of truth.

  • Quotes from the takeoff

    Quantities flow into a branded quote with your costs and margin, shared as a link your client can sign. No retyping.

  • Traced back to the sheet

    Each count and measurement links back to its marks on the page it came from, so you can check it before you bid.

  • Excel, CSV and PDF exports

    Download quantities as an Excel workbook or CSV, and the marked-up plans as a PDF.

FAQ

Answers before you ask.

How accurate is the AI takeoff?

The AI counts symbols and measures runs and areas on your sheets. Every count and measurement shows as a mark on the drawing, so you can check it, fix it or add what's missing before you bid. Your team approves the final numbers.

What file types does it handle?

PDF construction plans. Upload a single PDF or a ZIP of PDFs.

Does it work for my trade?

Electrical, Plumbing, Demolition and Roofing are fully supported. Other trades, including HVAC and concrete, run in beta. Review every count and measurement on the drawing before pricing.

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?

Project access is controlled by your workspace permissions. A quote stays private until you share its customer link; anyone with that link can view the shared quote.
