AI Blueprint Takeoff

Watch the AI read your blueprint.

Saguaro reads your PDF plan set the way a senior estimator does — every wall, footing, fixture, and column — then paints measured quantities onto the sheet and prices them by trade. No scale wheel. No manual counting.

How it works

From plans to a priced estimate in four steps

What used to take a half-day with a scale wheel takes minutes — and every number is traceable back to the sheet it came from.

STEP 1

Upload your plans

Drop in any PDF plan set — architectural, structural, MEP. Multi-page sets are read together, not one sheet at a time.

STEP 2

The AI reads every sheet

Saguaro identifies walls, doors, fixtures, footings, and assemblies across the whole set, the way a senior estimator would — including the title-block scale.

STEP 3

Quantities by trade

You get measured linear, area, and count quantities grouped by trade and cost code, priced against your rates. Adjust any measurement by hand when you want to.

STEP 4

Export to a bid

Send the line items straight into a bid or estimate, or out to Excel. Every quantity links back to the exact sheet and location it came from — fully traceable.

Built for real estimating

Everything you need to trust the number

Multi-page plan sets

Reads full architectural, structural, and MEP sets — not just a single sheet.

Automatic quantity extraction

Linear, area, and count quantities measured for you, grouped by trade.

Scale detection & manual override

Reads the title-block scale automatically; correct or set it on any sheet.

Traceable to the source

Every count links back to the page and location it came from — defensible in a bid review.

Cost codes & assemblies

Map items to your cost codes and reusable assemblies so estimates match your books.

Export anywhere

Push line items into a Saguaro estimate or bid, or export to Excel.
