Try the take-offResume
  1. Step 1 of 5

    From IFC set to field scope.

    Civil drawings, specifications, elevations and grades, redlined into clear direction for crews before the first bucket digs.

  2. Step 2 of 5

    Every metre accounted for.

    Sanitary, storm and water take-offs, pay quantities and material tracking, checked against the drawings.

  3. Step 3 of 5

    Estimates built on production.

    Technical estimates for civil and structural scopes, based on construction drawings and productivity benchmarks.

  4. Step 4 of 5

    Crews, trucks and inspectors in sequence.

    Excavation, pipe, backfill, compaction testing and paving, coordinated with subcontractors, suppliers and inspectors.

  5. Step 5 of 5

    No surprises at closeout.

    RFIs, change orders, T&M reports and as-builts keep scope and budget documented from start to finish.

Most of what I build ends up underground. I read the drawings, count what's in them, price it, and keep the job on budget. When the tools fall short, I build better ones.

This is how I think AI belongs on a civil job: it reads the scope, shows its assumptions, and leaves the decision with a person. Type a scope and watch the workflow.

  1. Read the scopeStorm main, 220 m long
  2. Take off quantities792 m³ excavation, 79 m³ bedding, 4 manholes
  3. Check assumptionsNothing missing from the scope
  4. Apply production ratesAbout 30 m per crew day, 11 crew days
