Nobody should send a bid on a number they can't trust, and that goes double for a number a computer came up with. So how do you know an AI takeoff is accurate before you bid on it?

The honest answer: try it on a job you already know.

Run it on a bid you've already done

Pick a set you've bid before, one where you know the numbers. Run it through Built Correct, then open Compare with your estimate and drop in your own takeoff (Excel, CSV or PDF). You see yours and ours side by side, line by line: where the counts, weights, hours and prices differ, what's only in yours and what's only in ours.

See every item on the drawing

Every item in the takeoff is numbered and clouded on the sheet where it's drawn. Click one and the sheet opens right there, so you never have to take a number on faith.

Electrical: item #174, the 800 A termination cabinet, clouded on E0.1.

Fast

  • An 18-sheet public electrical set: 479 items in 32 minutes.
  • A real 90-page electrical set: 211 items in about 12 minutes.
  • A real 288-page set for misc metals: about an hour and a half, where that takeoff normally gets a week by hand.
