AI has enabled my workflow to be fully automated. It automatically detects plan revisions (addenda) and recalculates lumber takeoffs, so your estimates stay accurate even when designs change. Now my team spends less time estimating and more time working on structural plans for lumber.
Akira Momin, Owner, Structural Framing Firm
Planning material is tough. AI eliminates polygon drawing for us we don’t have to trace studs or rafters manually, the system identifies wood framing components on its own. We get accurate lumber counts from the start, which means less rework and waste and zero delays.
