Step 1

Import your plans

From the web interface (no software to install), create a project and upload your PDF files.

Step 2

Select the items you need

According to your expertise—whether electrical, windows, doors, structures, or hardware—you guide the AI on what to pick up.

Let the AI do the takeoff for you


Artificial intelligence automatically scans the plans, identifies materials, and calculates quantities.

  • Digital vision to recognize symbols and objects.

  • OCR with specialized models for each trade.

  • Results displayed directly on the plan, so you know exactly what the AI has detected.

Easily validate and adjust

With the built-in annotation platform, you can:

  • Check the quantities found.

  • Add or fix forgotten elements.

  • Train the tool to better recognize your needs for your next projects.
