# Takeoff AI - RenderDraw

Last updated: 2026-07-01

## Direct Answer

Takeoff AI reads construction drawings, PDF plan sets, scans, CAD files, BIM exports, and specifications to extract quantities, dimensions, materials, assemblies, and source locations. RenderDraw turns those extracted takeoff records into a quote workflow by connecting them to pricing, workbook rows, estimator review, and approval status. For buyer searches around construction takeoff software, RenderDraw positions takeoff as a source-backed workflow from plan set intake through estimator review, pricing handoff, bid workbooks, RFP responses, and proposal packages.

## What Takeoff AI Should Produce

- Structured quantity rows with drawing file, sheet, revision, coordinate, scope category, measurement type, quantity, and unit.
- Confidence and source evidence so estimators can inspect the measurement before it affects a quote.
- Pricing source, unit cost, labor factor, waste factor, margin, risk flags, and approval status.
- Links from extracted quantities to CPQ, ERP, catalog, supplier, or workbook pricing sources.
