Venture 03 · Estimator

AI takeoff for the trades, expert reviewed, never autonomous

Estimator is the takeoff product the trades have been waiting for. Contractors upload drawings, our AI runs the takeoff, an experienced human estimator reviews every output, and the contractor downloads an editable workbook. Launch trade: drywall and light-gauge framing.

How it works

Four steps from drawing to workbook

Upload

Drag your drawing set into Estimator. PDF, image, or scanned sheet. Bid date and contact captured at upload.

AI takeoff

Our model identifies wall types, counts linear footage, areas, and openings. Every measurement is annotated and timestamped.

Expert review

A senior estimator reviews and approves every output. We do not ship unsupervised AI estimates to a bid.

Workbook

Download an editable Excel workbook with full quantity, waste factor, and cost columns. Yours to refine and submit.
