Illustrative drawing and workbook. No client plans shown.Turn construction plans into quantities and an estimating workbook. You check the scope, resolve questions and apply your own pricing before bidding.
Drawing reads need human review. Revenue impact has not been measured.
Get the next job ready to price.
Before you can price a construction job, someone has to read the drawings, identify the items and count quantities. Every unclear detail becomes another question to resolve.
I built Plan to takeoff at Praxis to prepare that groundwork. The AI assistant organizes the quantities into a workbook, with references back to the source drawings so your team can check the numbers.
From the drawings to your estimate.
Choose the scope
Start with a plan set and select the types of work you want included.
Read the drawings
The AI assistant reads plans and schedules, then organizes items by their printed details.
Check the quantities
Review the workbook, room pages, door and window schedules, and flagged questions alongside the source drawings.
Apply your rates
Matching rates come from your own rate sheet. Missing prices stay marked for you to fill in before bidding.
Prepare more work for estimating.
When your team spends less of its estimating time assembling quantities, it can use that capacity to prepare more jobs for pricing. That creates an opportunity to pursue more work.
The owner still reviews the scope and quantities, resolves the questions and decides the pricing. You choose which jobs to bid. Revenue growth and jobs won have not been measured for this workflow.
What does the workflow produce?
An estimating workbook, room pages, and door and window schedules. Quantities point back to source drawings, and unclear details are flagged for review.
Does the AI assistant set my prices?
Matching rates are applied from your own rate sheet. Missing prices stay clearly marked. You review the scope, quantities and pricing before using the estimate in a bid.
Can this help a service business too?
This case is built around construction plans. If you run a service business and preparing quotes holds up new work, tell me how you estimate today. We can look at where an AI assistant could help.
