How much does one plan actually cost?

One credit covers one complete plan submission, regardless of page count or complexity. Starts at $199 for 1–5 credits and slides down to $119 each at 25+. Credits never expire. Compare that to a manual takeoff: 8–40 hours at $75–$150/hr = $600–$6,000 per plan set.

How accurate is it, really?

Accurate where the plans are clear, and honest about where they are not. Anything the AI is not confident about gets flagged with exact page and location — you verify it manually instead of trusting a silent guess. That is the difference between AI-assisted and AI-automated.

How long does it take?

15–30 minutes on a typical commercial plan set. Larger sets (100+ pages) or high queue load can push it longer — you get an email when it is ready so you are not waiting at the screen.

What if it gets something wrong?

Submit feedback and we re-run the plan once — free. One correction pass per credit. Tell it what to fix, it reads the plan again with your feedback, and produces an updated takeoff. No extra credit spent.

Is it American only? I work outside the US.

A PDF does not have a nationality. The AI reads construction drawings — legends, schedules, symbols — not English. Our waitlist includes contractors from the US, Slovakia, the Middle East, and beyond. Set your applicable code in the configurator and upload.

Does it replace PlanSwift / Bluebeam / Accubid?

No. It makes the first 15 minutes of every PlanSwift job disappear. Export to Excel, CSV, or JSON and import into whatever you already use. TakeoffBuilder handles the counting. Your existing software handles pricing and proposal packaging.

Configurator Data. The project configuration you provide (trade, code year, occupancy, conditions, scope notes) is stored alongside your submission to produce accurate results and enable re-runs.

Usage Data. We collect standard server logs including pages visited, features used, and takeoff history. This helps us improve the platform and troubleshoot issues.
