About

PreConstruct AI is a web-based construction takeoff and estimating application for subcontractors bidding interior finishes, concrete, and wood framing work from PDF drawing sets. It reads drawing scales and uses plan notes, schedules, and partition legends to help identify and measure walls, ceilings, and concrete quantities. AI-assisted wall suggestions are in beta and are reviewed, approved, or adjusted by the estimator. Approved quantities become material lists for items such as studs, board, insulation, tape, compound, paint, concrete, and rebar, with calculations and drawing-sheet references. Estimators can apply their own material prices, create proposal PDFs, and export data to Excel or CSV. Projects can use imperial units, metric units, or both. The application supports estimating workflows; estimators review measurements and quantities before submitting a bid.

About

TradeOff is cloud-based software for takeoff, estimating, and progress billing that streamlines workflows from blueprint analysis to client payment. The platform enables users to upload PDF drawings directly into their browser, where scale calibration, trace, and count tools simplify quantity aggregation. An AI assistant enhances this process by extracting quantities, detecting scales, and suggesting rates. The estimating matrix provides a spreadsheet-style grid for pricing, while progress billing features support schedule-of-values billing, retainage tracking, and tax compliance like CIS deductions and VAT reverse charges. Payment processing is supported through Stripe and BACS, complemented by team collaboration roles and one-click PDF exports for branded estimates and payment applications.
