Quantity Takeoff AI
AI-automated extraction of material quantities from drawings and models.
Definition
Quantity Takeoff AI uses computer vision and AI to automatically extract material quantities from architectural and engineering drawings. These systems can measure areas, count elements, calculate volumes, and generate quantity reports without manual measurement. AI takeoff dramatically reduces the time required for estimating and ensures consistent, accurate quantities.
In Depth
Quantity takeoff extracts the material quantities from construction drawings that feed the cost estimate — linear feet of walls, areas of flooring, counts of doors and fixtures, volumes of concrete. AI automates this measurement by reading the drawings and quantifying the building elements, producing a takeoff that the estimator reviews rather than creates from scratch.
Examples
Counting doors and windows from floor plans
Calculating wall areas from drawings
Measuring ductwork lengths from MEP plans
