Prompt Takeoff
Measure Quantities Using Natural Instructions
Start Free TrialA New Way to Perform Takeoff
Prompt Takeoff introduces a new way to perform construction takeoff. Instead of manually selecting tools and tracing elements, users can simply describe what they want to measure using natural instructions.
AedisPro interprets these instructions and assists in extracting quantities directly from construction drawings.
This allows estimators to move faster from drawings to measurable quantities without relying entirely on manual workflows.
A More Natural Workflow
Traditional takeoff workflows require users to select a measurement tool, identify elements manually, trace each item across the drawing, and repeat the process for similar elements.
Prompt Takeoff simplifies this. Users focus on what needs to be measured, rather than how to measure it.
Natural Instructions, Real Quantities
Simply describe what you want to measure and AedisPro handles the extraction
"Measure floor areas for all rooms"
Floor areas extracted per room
"Calculate wall lengths for each room"
Wall lengths per room or space
"Get skirting lengths from wall measurements"
Skirting quantities derived automatically
"Prepare wall painting quantities"
Painting areas ready for pricing
Built on Room Detection
AedisPro's Prompt Takeoff is powered by a model trained to detect rooms and spatial layouts within drawings. This allows the system to understand the structure of the drawing and apply measurements in a meaningful way.
- Rooms are identified automatically from floor plans
- Measurements can be grouped by room or space
- Quantities are organised based on spatial context
This foundation enables more intelligent quantity extraction compared to purely manual workflows.
From Basic Measurements to Work Items
Quantities can be interpreted and transformed into practical construction items
Floor-Based Quantities
- Floor area → floor tiling quantities
- Floor area → ceiling finishes
- Floor area → floor finishes
Wall-Based Quantities
- Wall lengths → skirting quantities
- Wall lengths → wall finishes
- Wall lengths → painting areas
This allows estimators to move from raw measurements to usable BOQ items more efficiently.
Reduce Repetitive Measurement Work
In many projects, similar elements repeat across multiple rooms or floors. Prompt Takeoff helps reduce repetitive work by allowing users to apply instructions across the entire drawing set.
- Apply one instruction across all detected spaces
- Generate quantities for multiple areas at once
- Organise results in a structured format
This significantly improves efficiency, especially for projects with repetitive layouts.

Key Capabilities
Natural Language Instructions
Perform takeoff using simple, intuitive instructions instead of manual tracing.
Room-Based Measurement
Automatically detect rooms and organise quantities based on spatial layout.
Quantity Transformation
Convert measurements into practical construction items such as finishes and skirting.
Faster Quantity Extraction
Apply instructions across multiple areas to reduce repetitive measurement work.
Works Alongside Measurement Tools
Prompt Takeoff complements AedisPro's measurement tools. Estimators can use prompts for quick quantity extraction, refine results using specialised measurement tools, and organise outputs into structured BOQ formats.
This hybrid approach allows users to combine speed with precision depending on project requirements.
The Next Evolution
Prompt Takeoff is evolving toward context-aware instructions, where the system will better understand project intent and automatically refine results based on drawing content and user goals.
This will further simplify how estimators interact with drawings.
A Smarter Way to Perform Takeoff
Prompt Takeoff changes how estimators interact with construction drawings. By allowing users to describe what they need instead of manually measuring everything, AedisPro helps reduce repetitive work and improve efficiency.
Combined with structured BOQ workflows and measurement tools, Prompt Takeoff enables a faster and more intuitive approach to construction estimating.
