About

Excalibur View is a drawing viewer, markup and takeoff program for construction, written by a working structural steel estimator. Markups are ordinary PDF annotations, so a set marked up here opens in Bluebeam Revu or Adobe with everything in place. It imports Revu .bpx profiles and .btx tool sets with their tools, custom columns and unit weights. Measure length, area, count, volume and angle at the drawn scale. Tools carry their own unit weights, so a measured beam puts tonnage on the takeoff as it is drawn. The Shop List reads the same markups back as a cut list, with stock length, saw kerf and drops. Free for one person, including paid work, with no account and no expiry. Offices add Excalibur View Office at $250 per seat, paid once, on a machine you own. Updates are an optional $100 per seat per year. There is no cloud. Drawings, markups and takeoff never leave your hardware. Source published under the Elastic License 2.0.

About

Tagsight is the system of record for engineering data. It reads your drawing set into the instrument index, I/O list, equipment list, line list, and valve list a project runs on. It reads P&IDs, single-line diagrams, loop diagrams, datasheets, and cable and junction-box schedules. Scanned sheets and CAD-exported PDFs read the same way. Every tag is classified to the standard the drawing already uses, whether that is ISA 5.1, KKS, IEC 81346, NORSOK, DIN 19227, or an operator-house convention. An engineer confirms or corrects each read before anything leaves the tool. The register is reviewed, not assumed. Tagsight exports to Excel, CSV, TIA Portal XML for Siemens S7, Rockwell L5X for Studio 5000, PLCCreator, DEXPI, JSON, and annotated PDF. It compares revisions so a Management of Change review shows only what changed. A REST API and an MCP server connect it to the rest of the toolchain.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I'm not one who really gripes about privacy and data sovereignty but the ability for a company to self host everything without trusting corporations with their data I believe is going to be next level in these coming years. Its extremely seamless and I love the classic mode it kind of gives it a windows 98 style look lol. overall its freaking cool to use and the fact you can build your own plugins and modify it yourself is awesome. More construction software needs to be like this.

Cons

  • Some tools were a bit Janky which is to be expected with something so new, things like sheet overlay worked but took forever to load and was just slow.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The drawing viewer and extracted tables being connected is probably the strongest part. Clicking through the results makes it much easier to check tags without constantly going back and forth between a PDF and Excel.

Cons

  • Some symbols and tags on crowded sections of the drawing were missed or needed correction.
