"We bid three office build-outs last month that we wouldn't have had time for without this. The AI gives us the baseline count in minutes, we verify the panel schedules and gear, and we're pricing by lunch. That's the difference between winning work and passing on it."

Stop Counting Every Outlet Across 50+ Sheets
Tenant improvements mean dozens of identical offices, break rooms, and conference rooms. Counting every receptacle, switch, and light fixture manually takes hours. The AI handles the tedious counting so you can focus on the judgment calls—like accounting for existing conditions or spec'ing fixtures the architect didn't detail.
- AI counts outlets, switches, fixtures across all zones
- You review flagged items and adjust for field conditions
- Export to Excel—ready to price in your existing workflow

From core and shell to full build-out—get accurate counts for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and data/low voltage.
TI Electrical
Receptacles, lighting, panels — by room type
Office Electrical Takeoffs
AI counts receptacles, switches, lighting fixtures, and data outlets across open offices, conference rooms, and break areas. Handles repetitive layouts without missing items hidden in reflected ceiling plans or power schedules.
- Receptacle and switch counts by room type
- Lighting fixture schedules from RCPs
- Panel schedules and circuit counts
TI HVAC
VAV boxes, diffusers, ductwork changes
HVAC System Takeoffs
Extract ductwork runs, diffuser counts, VAV box locations, and equipment schedules. The AI reads mechanical plans and identifies system components—you verify the sizing and adjust for existing conditions.
- Diffuser and grille counts by zone
- Ductwork measurements and fittings
- VAV box and equipment schedules
TI Plumbing & Fire
Fixture counts, sprinkler heads, pipe runs
Plumbing & Fire Protection
AI extracts fixture counts for break rooms and restrooms, identifies domestic water and waste lines, and counts sprinkler heads across ceiling grids. Get accurate material lists for both plumbing and fire protection in one pass.
- Fixture counts and rough-in locations
- Sprinkler head counts and pipe runs
- Water and waste line measurements
Built for Fast-Track TI Schedules
Tenant improvements run on tight deadlines. You need counts fast to bid, win, and get crews mobilized. TakeoffBuilder delivers initial counts in 15 minutes—you review and adjust based on site conditions, then move to pricing. Same-day turnaround instead of waiting days for an estimator.
- 15-minute AI count delivery for typical TI projects
- Review flagged items and spot-check counts—30 minutes
- Export to your estimating software—ready to price same day
What Makes TI Takeoffs Different
Tenant improvements have unique challenges—existing conditions, coordinating with base building systems, repetitive layouts across zones. TakeoffBuilder handles the counting while you focus on the expertise that wins jobs.
-
Repetitive Layouts AI counts across dozens of identical offices without missing items or double-counting.
-
Existing Conditions You adjust counts based on what's staying, what's demo, and what's new—toggles make markups fast.
-
Multi-Trade Coordination Get counts for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection from one upload—no switching tools.
-
Fast Bid Turnaround When GCs need quotes in 48 hours, you can deliver because the counting is already done.
Built for Fast TI Schedules
Bid same-day, deliver same-week

6 reviews
"Tenant improvements are repetitive but you still have to count every diffuser in every zone. This tool handles that grunt work so I can focus on equipment sizing and coordinating with the base building systems. Cut my takeoff time from 6 hours to under an hour."
"The AI caught fixtures I missed in a reflected ceiling plan—saved me from underbidding a 12,000 SF office. I still review everything but it's way faster than starting from scratch. Good tool for anyone doing commercial TI work."
"We do a lot of medical and dental office TI projects. The AI handles the basic outlet and switch counts, and I focus on the specialized equipment circuits and emergency power requirements. Exactly what I need—speed on the routine stuff, my expertise on the critical items."
"As a GC, I use this to verify sub bids on TI projects. Run the plans through, compare to what they quoted, and I know if we're in the ballpark. Catches errors before we sign contracts. Worth every dollar."
"Counting sprinkler heads across open ceilings is tedious. This tool does it in minutes. I verify the hydraulic calculations and coverage, but the head count is spot-on. Saves me hours on every TI bid."
Tenant Improvement Takeoff Questions
Common questions about using AI for office build-out and retail TI takeoffs.
Does it work on partial plans for phased TI projects?
Yes. Upload the sheets for the phase you're bidding—the AI counts what's on the plans you provide. If you're doing a 5th floor build-out and only have those drawings, that's what gets counted. Works well for phased tenant improvements where you're bidding one floor or zone at a time.
- Upload only the sheets for your scope
- AI counts what's shown on provided plans
How does it handle existing conditions and demo?
The AI counts what's shown on the plans as new work. If your plans distinguish between existing, demo, and new (common in TI sets), it reads those annotations. For items marked existing-to-remain or demo, you adjust the final count using toggles. The AI gives you the starting point—you apply your field knowledge about what's actually staying or going.
- AI reads plan annotations for existing vs new
- Use toggles to adjust based on field conditions
What about open office layouts with furniture plans?
The AI reads furniture and equipment plans to identify power/data locations at workstations. It counts floor outlets, wall outlets, and data drops based on the furniture layout. You verify the power requirements match the actual workstation specs—the AI gives you the locations and quantities from the plans.
- Reads furniture plans for outlet locations
- You verify power requirements for workstations
Can I use this for retail TI projects?
Yes. Retail tenant improvements work the same as office TI—the AI counts outlets, switches, lighting, HVAC, and plumbing from your plans. Retail often has more specialized lighting and higher electrical loads, which show up in your fixture schedules and panel schedules. The AI extracts those counts; you verify the specs match the actual equipment.
- Works for retail, restaurant, and service TI
- Handles specialized lighting and equipment schedules
How fast can I get a takeoff for a typical 10,000 SF office TI?
A typical 10,000 SF office TI with 20-30 plan sheets processes in 10-15 minutes for the AI count. You spend another 20-30 minutes reviewing flagged items and spot-checking counts. Total time from upload to export: under an hour. Compare that to 6-8 hours of manual counting for the same project.
- 10-15 min AI processing for 20-30 sheets
- 20-30 min review time—under 1 hour total
Do I need different takeoffs for design-build TI vs spec TI?
No—the tool reads whatever plans you have. Design-build TI often means you're working from preliminary drawings, which the AI can count from. Spec TI gives you full construction documents. Either way, upload your PDFs and get counts. Less detailed plans may have more items to verify manually, but the AI still handles the bulk counting.
- Works with preliminary or full construction documents
- Less detailed plans may need more manual review
Upload your TI plans and see how fast you can get accurate counts.
