Review roof-plane areas, ridge, hip, valley, eave, and perimeter runs plus penetrations and accessories on their source sheets. Your estimator confirms slope, assemblies, waste, flashing, access, labor, and pricing.
Start 14-day trial01 · Estimator review
Trace calibrated roof areas by plane, zone, level, or estimator label and reconcile plan geometry with slopes, elevations, and sections.
Plan area does not automatically determine sloped area, squares, panel layout, insulation, or membrane order quantity.
Measure visible ridge, hip, valley, eave, rake, parapet, curb, and perimeter conditions with calibrated line tools.
Each run requires assembly, flashing, edge, overlap, and accessory decisions before pricing.
Review visible drains, vents, skylights, hatches, curbs, equipment, walk pads, and other repeated roof items against details and schedules.
Counts require size, curb, flashing, coordination, and replacement or new-work scope verification.
Slope, deck condition, tear-off, roofing assembly, insulation, taper, flashing, drainage, fastening, laps, waste, access, safety, weather, and supplier pricing remain estimator decisions. Confirm the current drawing issue, addenda, specifications, exclusions, and responsible scope before pricing.
Estimator approval remains required before quantities become a bid.
02 · Review workflow
Open the current roof plans, architectural plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, and roofing specifications.
Inspect pending marks on each source sheet. Accept useful detections, dismiss incorrect groups, and keep ambiguous work out of approved totals.
Draw calibrated roof areas and linear conditions, add penetration or accessory counts, and label assemblies before applying slope, coverage, lap, waste, fastening, labor, or cost assumptions.
Review complete-document totals, then export CSV or create editable quote lines. Apply workspace costs, labor, and commercial terms separately.
03 · Product controls
Run an AI first pass for visible roof-plane areas, ridge, hip, valley, and perimeter runs, penetrations and accessories. Pending groups stay on the source sheet for individual or bulk review.
Accept useful suggestions and dismiss the wrong ones before downstream use.
Draw calibrated roof areas and linear conditions, add penetration or accessory counts, and label assemblies before applying slope, coverage, lap, waste, fastening, labor, or cost assumptions.
The estimator can correct, add, erase, undo, and redo the working takeoff.
Draw a known line, enter its real distance in feet or metres, and recompute measured quantities when the sheet needs an explicit measurement basis.
Lengths and areas remain editable and tied to a verified scale.
Rename selected work, apply CSI categories, and choose explicit labels so different systems, areas, or bid scopes do not collapse into one unexplained total.
Reviewed quantities stay organized for estimator and team review.
Roll quantities up by label across loaded pages. Complete-document export collects every page and stops with a clear message when the full result cannot be built.
No silent partial total is presented as complete.
Use workspace-owned material, labor, and subcontractor cost or sell rows, then carry accepted AI and manual items into editable grouped quote lines.
Company pricing and commercial approval stay under estimator control.
04 · Estimator decisions
Visible plan suggestions can be accepted or dismissed, but they do not prove that every item, note, schedule, detail, or concealed condition has been captured.
Slope, deck condition, tear-off, roofing assembly, insulation, taper, flashing, drainage, fastening, laps, waste, access, safety, weather, and supplier pricing remain estimator decisions.
Confirm the current issue, changed sheets, addenda, and conflicting documents. Do not treat a new AI run as an automatic revision comparison or scope decision.
Current supplier quotes, maintained cost rows, labor productivity, waste, equipment, subcontract scope, code, exclusions, overhead, markup, and risk remain separate decisions.
Buyer questions
Use the plan-linked workflow to review roof-plane areas, ridge, hip, valley, and perimeter runs, penetrations and accessories. The exact result depends on visible drawing information, scale, labels, and estimator corrections; representative plan testing is essential.
No. Slope, deck condition, tear-off, roofing assembly, insulation, taper, flashing, drainage, fastening, laps, waste, access, safety, weather, and supplier pricing remain estimator decisions. BuildVision AI supports the reviewed takeoff and editable outputs; the estimator completes assemblies, pricing, labor, exclusions, and commercial approval.
Yes. Accept or dismiss pending groups, add manual counts or geometry, calibrate measured work, rename items, apply CSI categories, and keep working with undo or redo before export.
BuildVision AI exports every takeoff row to CSV with its source and review state. Quote creation uses accepted AI and manual items only. Missing pages block either output, while uncalibrated measurements appear blank in CSV and must be scaled before quote creation.
The current trial lasts 14 days. Test representative plans and review the pricing page for current plan limits and billing terms.

Open a representative plan, review the AI first pass, complete the scope with manual tools, then export every row with its review state or build quote lines from accepted and manual work.
