Construction takeoff

Takeoff data for estimating AI, symbol by symbol.

Architectural, structural and MEP drawings annotated by reviewers trained on construction conventions, so your model counts what an estimator would count.

1,500+

Symbol classes across electrical, plumbing, structural and MEP drawings.

1,000+

Construction plans processed a month.

Agreement between annotators across classes.

What we annotate on a drawing set.

Drawing standards differ by country, contractor, software and era. Our reviewers have worked across US, Australian and international sheets.

Symbol detection

Electrical panels, outlets, switches and conduit. Plumbing fixtures, valves and cleanouts. Structural columns and beams. Ducts, diffusers and sprinkler heads.

Polygon segmentation

Rooms and spaces, walls and slabs, duct routes, HVAC zones, floor areas and material zones.

OCR and text extraction

Dimensions, room labels and specifications, bill of quantities tables and cross sheet references.

Entity classification

Materials from legends, symbols linked to specification sheets, revisions and amendments tagged.

A sheet, as it comes back.

Counts by symbol and trade, low confidence symbols sent to a second reviewer, and the legend sheet linked. Illustrative data.

Domain trained reviewers

Trained on drawing conventions and trade symbol vocabularies before they label a sheet.

Consensus on hard classes

Ambiguous symbols and partial completions need agreement from more than one reviewer.

Full audit trail

Every annotation logged with annotator ID, time, review status and correction history.

Delivered as COCO JSON, Pascal VOC, YOLO or your own schema. We work in Roboflow, CVAT or your platform.
