Three things a counting tool can't do.
Click-to-count software makes you faster at counting. TakeoffAI does the counting, and shows its work.
Reads the legend itself
Every drawing set uses its own symbols. TakeoffAI reads the legend on your drawings and works out what needs counting, so there's no symbol library to build before it will work on a new consultant's set.
Upload the whole binder and it finds the electrical sheets. On real jobs a 25-page binder has held one electrical sheet; it counts that one and ignores the rest.
Counts and marks every item
Downlights, GPOs, switches, data points, smoke detectors, distribution boards and more, counted sheet by sheet. Each detected item gets a marker placed on the drawing at the spot it was found.
That marker is the point. You're not checking a total against a hunch; you're checking a drawing with the count drawn on it.
Raises RFIs instead of guessing
Where a drawing is ambiguous, whether it's a symbol that isn't in the legend, a clash between sheets or a note that changes a count, the AI raises an RFI for you to answer rather than picking an answer and hiding it in the total.
You see every question it had, and you decide.
Everything else is free, on every account.
You only ever pay for AI take-offs. The tools around them cost nothing, with no seat fees and no per-project fees.
