Good to know

  • Time-saved is conservative — PreCal-IQ reads specs and plans together and generates takeoffs across 45 CSI categories in minutes.
  • The real upside is usually capacity: the same team bids more work without adding estimators.

FAQ

Common questions

How much time does AI takeoff software actually save?

Teams commonly cut takeoff time by 60–80% because the spec reading, quantity extraction, and CSI cross-referencing are automated — leaving estimators to review and strategize.

How does faster estimating pay off?

Either you reclaim estimator hours (cost savings) or you bid more projects with the same team (revenue). This calculator shows both.
