Built for Construction Estimators
Finish takeoffs in half the time. AI reads your plans, counts your quantities, and lets you focus on winning more work.
Tools that match how estimators actually work
Purpose-built for the estimating workflow. Upload plans, get quantities, verify results, and export to your estimating software.
AI-powered takeoffs
Upload your plans and get quantities in minutes. AI identifies items, counts symbols, measures lengths, and calculates areas automatically.
Accuracy verification
Every AI-generated quantity links back to the source on your plans. Click any number to see exactly where it came from and verify it yourself.
Export to estimating software
Send your takeoff data directly to Excel, ProEst, Sage, or your preferred estimating tool. No manual re-entry required.
Multi-project management
Track multiple active bids in one workspace. Switch between projects instantly and never lose context on where you left off.
How AI is changing construction estimating
Construction estimating has traditionally been one of the most time-intensive roles in the industry. Estimators spend the majority of their time on quantity takeoffs, manually counting items, measuring lengths, and calculating areas from architectural and structural plans. This process is not only slow but inherently error-prone, with studies showing that manual takeoffs can contain error rates of 5-15% depending on project complexity.
AI-powered takeoff software changes this dynamic fundamentally. By using computer vision to read construction plans the same way an experienced estimator would, these tools can extract quantities in minutes rather than hours. The key difference from simple digitizer tools is intelligence: AI understands what it is looking at, distinguishes between similar symbols, and catches items that human eyes might miss on busy sheets. For estimators, this means spending less time on data extraction and more time on the strategic work that actually wins bids, such as pricing analysis, value engineering, and relationship building.
Bid more work without burning out
Estimators using Exayard consistently report faster turnaround, fewer errors, and the ability to take on more projects.
Bid 3x more projects
With takeoffs that finish in minutes instead of hours, you can pursue opportunities that would have been impossible to fit into your schedule.
Catch costly quantity errors
AI catches the counting mistakes and missed items that come from manual takeoffs on complex plan sets.
Win more competitive bids
Accurate quantities mean tighter pricing. Stop padding estimates to cover uncertainty and start winning on precision.
Cut overtime in half
Stop spending nights and weekends on takeoffs before bid deadlines. Get the same work done during normal hours.
Handle larger plan sets
Take on 200-page plan sets with confidence. AI scales to any project size without proportionally increasing your effort.
Collaborate with your team
Share takeoffs with other estimators, project managers, and field staff. Everyone works from the same verified numbers.
