Door hardware lives in three places that must agree.
Door bids depend on the door schedule, the hardware sets in the specification and the doors actually drawn on the plans. RenderDraw proposes door and frame counts and reads schedules, then flags mismatches between them for your estimator.
- Door schedule
- Hardware sets
- Plan counts
- Mismatch flags
Three sources, one count.
- Plan vs. schedule. Every door tag on plan appears in the schedule, and vice versa.
- Schedule vs. hardware sets. Each door references a set that exists in the spec.
- Frame types and fire ratings. Consistent across schedule and details.
- Access control interfaces. Electrified hardware coordinated with security.
AI-powered, human-approved.
Upload
Plan sets as legible PDFs are the most reliable starting point; confirm other file types in the free sample run.
Extract
AI proposes counts, lengths, areas and schedule data, with the source drawing on every row.
Review
Flagged items come lowest-confidence first. Confirm, edit or reject each one.
Configure and price
Approved quantities hand off to your assemblies, price lists and labor units for pricing.
Propose
Reviewed rows move on to your pricing and quote.
Run one bid side by side.
Pick a real job
Choose a recent bid with the plan set, legend, schedules and at least one addendum.
Build a baseline
Have an estimator check the quantities you want to test.
Run it side by side
Run the same set through your current tool and through a RenderDraw sample.
Score misses and review time
Record missed items, wrong inclusions and the time spent correcting each result.
Your sample files remain private while we assess the request. There is no obligation to proceed.
Door hardware estimating software, answered.
What is door hardware estimating software?
Software for quantifying and pricing doors, frames and hardware from door schedules, hardware sets and plans.
Can AI read door schedules?
RenderDraw's AI takeoff proposes counts by tag from plans and schedules with the source sheet attached, so your estimator can compare plan counts with the schedule. Get a free sample takeoff.
What causes door hardware estimating errors?
Mismatches between plans, schedules and hardware sets, plus late addenda that change door types.
Does the AI decide the price?
No. It proposes quantities with sources; your estimator approves them before your assemblies, price lists and labor units are applied.
Can I test it on my drawings?
Yes. Send one representative plan set for a free sample takeoff. Your files remain private while we assess the request, and there is no obligation to proceed.
Send one plan set. Judge the result yourself.
A focused, no-obligation evaluation on your own drawings. Your sample files remain private while we assess the request.
- Upload one representative plan set (a legible PDF set is the most reliable starting point), plus an addendum if you have one.
- RenderDraw reviews the set and the scope you want tested.
- We follow up with what was extracted, what was flagged for review, and the most useful next step.
