AI takeoff that reads the plans, not a picture of them

Automated takeoff from vector PDFs

Plans exported from CAD keep their geometry. Every curb line, pipe run and stripe is still a precise vector with real coordinates, and every label is real text. CivilQuick Takeoff uses that data directly. It measures the actual lines in the file at the sheet's scale instead of estimating from pixels, and reads the labels and legend instead of guessing from shapes.

How it works

• Sorts the set. It finds the plan sheets in a full set and tells roadway, utility, drainage, erosion control and traffic control sheets apart.
• Reads each sheet. It reads the scale, the legend and the line styles, and keeps proposed work apart from existing features.
• Measures and counts. It traces the linework for each pay item, closes areas, follows runs across breaks, and counts symbols and labeled items.
• Cleans up the set. It cuts each sheet at its match lines and drops repeats from profile and striping sheets, so nothing is counted twice.
• Shows its work. Every quantity links to the geometry behind it, and anything uncertain goes on a review list for you.

Automation you can check

On a heavy civil bid, a fast wrong number is worse than a slow right one. That is why CivilQuick is built around review: click a total to see the linework it came from, select any line to change its pay item, and measure areas, lengths and counts by hand when you need to. The software does the tracing, and you keep the judgment.
