The AI takeoff module is incredibly fast. It gave an initial sheet count really close to manual counts, enabling my team to produce 2x as many bids per month. Great for speed!

Marcus Anotante

trust-pilot

The interface was easy to get the hang of, and it the easiest and fastest software for generating bids once everything is set up. We appreciate the training support provided.

Alex Paterson

trust-pilot

BuildTake AI saves me a bunch of time on full takeoffs. The technology is better then I expected but the best part is I can throw off 15+ concrete takeoff for multiple projects and the software would do it for all.

Jessica Sinster

trust-pilot

The core estimating module is great. Of all the full-service estimating software I’ve used, this part of BuildTake AI is by far the best. But honestly, for concrete takeoff, their web-based version is better; the desktop feels like a dumpster fire.

Hear How Voltage Electricals Estimate with AI

Before using BuildTake AI, Henderson Contractors relied on manual tools like OST and Bluebeam, spending 3-4 days per project just to prepare bid-ready takeoffs. This slowed down their estimating process, reduced the number of bids they could submit and made meeting tight deadlines nearly impossible.

After switching to BuildTake AI, the team cut their estimating time dramatically, saving up to a full week per project, and achieved 1.5× business growth without increasing staff or workload.

There is very little good AI takeoff software in the market, but BuildTake AI takes the lead. By using the best in tech algorithms, AI takeoff promises 99.9% algorithms. It uses

Data shows AI-powered concrete takeoff software delivers up to 99% accuracy. It reads plans and generates exact material and labor quantities, including concrete volume, rebar, mesh, formwork, footings, slabs, and finish requirements.

BuildTake AI’s machine-learning engine understands all concrete components, slabs-on-grade, foundations, beams, columns, footings, walls, paving, and structural elements. It flags unclear plan sections so you can confirm details instead of the system assuming.

Most contractors complete takeoffs in minutes or a few hours instead of days. Faster estimating cycles mean more bids out the door, fewer late-night revisions, and higher win rates.

With BuildTake AI, you can upload 200+ concrete projects at once. There’s no cap on how many takeoffs you can run in parallel.

With BuildTake AI, you can upload concrete and structural plans (usually PDFs). The takeoff software automatically read and classifies concrete elements (slabs, beams, columns). Further more, it calculates volumes (for concrete), lengths, and weights (for rebar). Also applies unit costs and compiles detailed reports, drastically cutting manual effort and reducing the risk of human error.
