Next-Generation AI Subcontractor Estimating & Takeoff Technology
Get accurate, fast, and consistent plumbing and HVAC measurements with AI subcontractor estimation built to reduce manual effort, improve bid quality, and support strategic bidding. TaksoAi’s patented vision system generates reliable, QA-ready takeoffs that subcontractors trust for competitive pricing and confident project planning.
Powerful AI-Driven Features for Subcontractor Estimating & Material Takeoffs
AI-Powered Fitting & Component Detection
TaksoAi automatically identifies 60+ plumbing and HVAC fittings, valves, elbows, diffusers, fixtures, and more using a patented AI vision system. This removes manual counting, strengthens subcontractor estimating accuracy, and supports role-specific workflows for subcontractors, assistant estimators, and mechanical teams.
Smart Measurement Capture With AI Vision
Our AI measures lengths, systems, diameters, and dimensions across ductwork, pipe layouts, and fixture locations. This eliminates manual measurement tasks and ensures consistent, QA-ready quantity takeoffs aligned with your subcontractor estimation workflows.
Equipment, Fixtures & Device Identification
Simply enter equipment tags or identifiers, and TaksoAi accurately finds each instance across your drawings. Subcontractors receive clean summaries within minutes instead of hours, improving cost planning and minimizing missed scope during preconstruction.
Intuitive, QA-Ready Review Process
TaksoAi provides a user-friendly, cloud-based review interface where subcontractors can validate, adjust and approve AI-detected quantities. Built-in QA support helps teams catch discrepancies, maintain a single source of truth, and reduce change-order risk.
Seamless Export Into All Estimation Software
Once takeoffs are approved, export structured quantities to Excel, CSV, or other estimation software platforms. This supports consistent proposal workflows, BOQ preparation, pricing models, and contractor bidding software processes without disrupting your existing software stack.
