AI for Mechanical, Piping and Structural Estimation
The Takeoff AI reads your drawings, measures lengths, counts fittings and welds, and derives hardware like bolts and gaskets to produce a complete Material Take-Off ready for material and labor pricing.

Material Take-Off
Upload your drawing set and theTakeoff.ai extracts every length, fitting, weld and hardware item into a structured MTO across disciplines.
Deviation Detection
The platform flags mismatches, missing items and spec conflicts between drawings and notifies you before they reach the bid.
Material and Labor Pricing
Apply your price books and labor rates directly to the MTO, so you go from quantities to a priced estimate without switching tools.
The math is the pitch.
Turn a heavy industrial take-off from weeks into hours, save estimator time on every bid, and put that capacity toward the work you're currently turning down.

TheTakeoff AI is built for sensitive bid packages, with access controls, encryption, and audit trails so your team can work fast and securely.
Questions, answered.
The short answers estimators want before sending their first live package.
It reads your industrial and structural drawings, measures lengths, counts fittings, welds, and connections, and derives hardware like bolts and gaskets. The output is a complete Material Take-Off organized by line, size, spec, and schedule, ready for material and labor pricing.
Piping and isometric, structural and miscellaneous iron, and mechanical and HVAC. You can run takeoffs across all three from the same platform.
Native CAD-exported PDFs, scanned legacy drawings, and hand-drafted markups. The platform flags anything it can't resolve with confidence so your team can review it before the bid goes out.
Every line item in the Material Take-Off is tied to the exact location on the drawing it came from. Click any quantity, and the platform shows you where it was picked up, so your estimators can verify counts without flipping between tabs or files.
The platform flags mismatches, missing items, and spec conflicts between drawings before they reach your bid. If a line list says one thing and the P&ID says another, you'll see the conflict called out, not buried in a spreadsheet you find out about after award.
Yes. You can apply your price books and labor rates directly to the Material Take-Off inside the platform, so you go from quantities to a priced estimate without switching tools.
Book a walkthrough and we'll run The Takeoff AI on your own drawings so you can see the output on a package you already know. That way you're evaluating real results, not a demo data set.
