What belongs in the paving takeoff?

For paving scope, a takeoff records relevant plan counts, lengths, paths, and areas. Use items such as Asphalt, Base Material, Tack Coat, Sealcoat, Striping Paint as a checklist, then verify every quantity against the drawings, notes, schedules, details, and specifications before pricing or ordering.

How does BuildVision AI help paving contractors prepare a takeoff?

Save a PDF or image plan, start an AI takeoff, and review the plan-linked suggestions. Accept or dismiss proposed items, then use calibrated manual count, line, polyline, area, or rectangle tools to correct geometry and add missing paving scope.

Can an estimator review the paving quantities?

Yes. Pending AI suggestions remain visibly reviewable, while accepted and manually created work can be inspected against the source sheets. Complete-document totals roll reviewed quantities up by label and disclose incomplete page collection before export.

Does BuildVision AI turn paving quantities into materials automatically?

No. The materials on this page are a trade scope checklist, not an assembly or order generated by BuildVision AI. The estimator owns material conversion, coverage, waste, labor, productivity, supplier selection, and job-specific pricing.

What can I export after reviewing the paving takeoff?

After collecting every loaded page, export every takeoff row with its source and review state to CSV, or create grouped, editable quote lines from accepted AI and manual work. Pending and dismissed AI work stays out of the quote, and the estimator can still edit quantity, unit price, tax, discount, terms, and customer details.

How much does paving estimating software cost?

BuildVision AI pricing depends on the plan and AI capacity selected. Review the current pricing page for self-serve options, annual billing, enterprise capacity, and current trial terms.
