Quote software that starts from real quantities.
Most quoting programs for builders and trades start with a blank line-item list. RenderDraw starts from reviewed takeoff quantities: AI proposes them from your drawings, your estimator approves them, and they hand off to pricing and visual CPQ.
Send one plan set. See what the AI extracts and what it flags for review. No obligation.
- From takeoff to quote
- Proposal output

The quantities a trade estimator actually needs
These are the items RenderDraw proposes from the drawings, each linked to the sheet it came from, for your estimator to accept, correct or reject.
| Item | What is measured or counted | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Counts | Symbols, devices, fixtures and doors against the legend | Plans, legends, schedules |
| Lengths | Walls, runs, edges and linear items | Plans, details |
| Areas | Rooms, finishes, roofs, paving | Plans, finish schedules |
| Volumes | Concrete, earthwork, fill | Sections, schedules |
| Scope items | Requirements, exclusions and alternates | Specs, general notes, addenda |
From plan set to reviewed quantities.
AI-powered, human-approved. Each stage records what ran, what changed and who approved it.

AI proposes quantities
Counts, lengths and areas come back with the source sheet and location attached to every row.
Estimator review
Low-confidence items surface first. Your estimator accepts, corrects or rejects each one.
Map to your assemblies
Approved quantities map to your items, assemblies and estimating assumptions.
Price reviewed rows
Labor units, material pricing and supplier quotes apply only to rows that passed review.
Hand off with evidence
Approved quantities move on to pricing and visual CPQ with the evidence trail still attached.

The AI drafts. Your estimator decides.
Speed is easy to promise. Defensible numbers are the job, so RenderDraw keeps the estimator in control of every quantity that gets priced.
- Source on every row. Each quantity keeps its source sheet, location and reviewer decision.
- Lowest confidence first. The review queue shows the drawing tile with the detection highlighted and the extracted value.
- Uncertain items flagged, not hidden. Anything the AI can't confirm goes to the estimator rather than being guessed.
- Nothing priced before approval. Rows move on to pricing only after they are accepted.
Questions estimators ask
What is the best quoting software for trades?
One that fits how you price: from drawings, site visits or price lists. Test on real jobs.
Can I track quotes?
Track status, revisions and follow-ups in a quote log or your CRM, with each quote tied to the quantities it was built from.
Is there a free quote template?
Yes; RenderDraw offers a free quote template.
Does RenderDraw do proposals?
RenderDraw's part is the takeoff and the handoff: approved quantities move on to pricing, and configured products can continue into RenderDraw's visual CPQ. Your team writes the proposal.
