How Is It Different from Other Software?

Traditional Mechanical Takeoffs

  • You spent hours tracing ductwork, piping and mechanical fittings manually.
  • Your estimators do struggle with multiple drawings and risk missing items.
  • Revisions or a change order mean starting over.
  • Desktop files, slow collaboration, limited visibility.
  • You miss all important deadlines that cause rushed, error-prone bids.

Generative Takeoff Software

  • AI detects ducts, pipes and equipment instantly, with no manual counts.
  • BuildTake AI auto-identifies every component across sheets with near-perfect accuracy.
  • Updates quantities and markups automatically when plans change.
  • 100% cloud-based; share, review, and finalize from anywhere.
  • Cut takeoff time by 80% and submit more accurate takeoff & estimates faster.
