Takeoffs your estimators review, not count.

BidTakeoff reads your isometric drawing packages and produces the pipe, valve, and flange quantities your estimators used to count by hand. Chase more bids without adding estimators.

The problem

Takeoff capacity is the ceiling on how much you bid.

Pulling quantities off isometric drawings is the most labor-intensive part of estimating, and accuracy here moves the whole bid. On a large job it can mean working through packages of up to 10,000 isometric drawings in a month. Hiring estimators is the only lever, and it is slow.

Accuracy moves the bid

Industry estimates put a 10% error in labor-productivity assumptions at a 4 to 6% swing in total bid price. Takeoff is where that error starts.

Win-rate math

Industry data puts the average construction bid win rate around 10%, one job won for every ten bid. To win more, you have to bid more.

Repetitive by design

Counting pipes, valves, and flanges eats the bulk of estimating hours and caps how many bids the firm can pursue.

How it works

From drawing package to structured quantities.

01

Ingest

Your isometric and industrial drawing packages, at scale.

02

Identify

Pipes, valves, and flanges recognized across your package conventions.

03

Output

Structured quantities compatible with your estimating workflow.

04

Review

Estimators verify instead of count. Verified takeoffs feed back and sharpen the model.

Why BidTakeoff

Built for industrial isometrics, trained on your history.

Industrial, not architectural

Off-the-shelf takeoff AI is built for general architectural work. BidTakeoff identifies the components industrial packages actually carry.

Your production data

Trained on your historical takeoffs, so outputs match how your estimators already work and improve as verified takeoffs feed back.

From counting to reviewing

Takeoffs that took weeks, reviewed in a fraction of the time. More bids pursued without more estimators.

Security & deployment

Your drawings never leave your environment.

On-prem or in a customer-controlled environment. Open-weight models on Apolo’s private GPUs, no third-party AI provider. A forward-deployed engineer trains the model on your production data and configures outputs to your estimating workflow. Pairs with BidRFI on the same packages.

FAQ

What estimating teams ask first.

Generic takeoff tools didn’t work for us. Why would this?

Those are built for architectural takeoff. BidTakeoff is trained on your industrial isometrics and your own production history.

Our drawings are messy and varied.

It is trained on your production data and sharpens as verified takeoffs feed back into the model.

Will it replace estimators?

No. Estimators move from manual counting to reviewing outputs. The judgment, and the accuracy the bid rides on, stays with them.

Where do our drawings go?

Nowhere. The agent runs on-prem or in an environment you control, with no third-party LLM in the loop.
