Cloud-Based Generative Earthwork Takeoff Software:

How Is It Different from Other Software?

Doing earthwork takeoffs is not as simple as it sounds. They are time-consuming and require a lookout for multiple variables, site conditions, soil behavior & material volumes. If these variables are not correct, you won’t be able to effectively lay the foundation for getting the construction work started.

Managing Complex Site Plans

Estimators constantly struggle with earthwork excavation blueprints that contain slopes, irregular terrain and multi-layered designs. This type of complexity makes manual analysis deeply inaccurate and consumes an excessive amount of time. BuildTake AI uses AI-powered analysis to rapidly process complex, multi-layered site plans accurately , including irregular terrain and detailed grading, ensuring comprehensive data coverage and reliability.

Wasted Time on Manual Earthwork Calculations

Tracing lines and performing repetitive volume calculations by hand consumes valuable hours of estimators. This diverts skilled estimating staff from real strategic planning or actively bidding on new construction projects. BuildTake AI cloud based earthwork software automates all measurements and volume calculations, helping in reducing manual effort and saving more than 68% of their time.

Risk of Material Shortages or Excess

There is a very high chance that by the time a manual estimate is completed, prices of material will fluctuate somehow. This inevitably leads to expensive or underwhelming outcomes, either material shortages (halting work) or overages (creating disposal issues). BuildTake AI provides quantitatively accurate material takeoff by calculating cut-and-fill volumes, protecting the project’s profits.
