Prepare Estimates Faster with AI-Assisted Takeoff

Construction contractors often need to analyse large drawing sets, measure quantities, and prepare estimates within tight tender deadlines. Much of this work still relies on manual takeoff workflows that require tracing elements and organising quantities into spreadsheets or BOQ documents.

AedisPro introduces AI-assisted tools that help contractors analyse drawings, generate structured quantity information, and organise takeoff data more efficiently during the estimating process.

Rather than replacing the estimator, AedisPro helps reduce repetitive measurement work so estimating teams can focus on pricing, planning, and project strategy.

The Estimating Challenge for Contractors

Preparing construction estimates involves reviewing complex drawing sets and identifying the quantities required for pricing.

Contractors typically need to:

✓Review multiple drawing sheets
✓Identify elements within their scope
✓Measure quantities accurately
✓Organise quantities into BOQ or spreadsheet formats
✓Prepare tender submissions within limited time

Common challenges include:

✓Time-consuming manual measurements
✓Repetitive tracing and counting
✓Difficulty scaling for large projects
✓Organizing data across multiple sheets
✓Meeting tight tender deadlines

For many estimating teams, this process still involves manual measurement workflows. Even with digital takeoff tools, estimators often need to trace elements line by line to calculate quantities. As project sizes grow, manual workflows can become time consuming and difficult to scale. Large projects may include hundreds of drawing sheets and thousands of measurable elements.

How AI Changes the Estimating Workflow

AI-assisted takeoff tools introduce a different way to analyse construction drawings. Instead of relying entirely on manual measurements, estimators can use AI-assisted workflows to help interpret drawings, organise quantities, and generate structured measurement data.

AI-assisted estimating workflows help contractors reduce time spent on repetitive measurement tasks while maintaining control over the estimating process. Estimators remain responsible for reviewing quantities and applying pricing knowledge, while AI helps streamline the workflow.

Traditional Estimating vs AI-Assisted Estimating

Traditional digital takeoff software improved estimating workflows by allowing measurements to be performed on digital drawings. AI-assisted takeoff introduces additional automation to support this process.

Key Capabilities for Contractors

AI Construction Takeoff Assistance

AedisPro allows estimators to analyse construction drawings and assist with quantity measurements using AI-supported tools. Instead of measuring every element manually, estimators can prompt the system to identify certain works and generate measurements more efficiently.

BOQ Structure Generation

Preparing structured quantity information can take time when working with spreadsheets. AedisPro can generate structured BOQ formats through prompts, helping estimators organise project quantities quickly during the estimating stage.

Drawing Analysis

Large construction projects often involve hundreds of drawing sheets. AedisPro provides tools that help estimators analyse drawings and identify relevant information within project documents, allowing teams to explore project drawings more efficiently.

Research Assistance

Construction estimators frequently need to review specifications, materials, and construction methods while preparing estimates. AedisPro includes AI-assisted research tools that help estimators quickly explore relevant information.
