RenderDraw helps teams move from Procore drawings, project documents, specifications, and revisions into AI-extracted quantities, pricing lookup, workbook rows, and estimator approval gates.
Procore takeoff automation connects Procore drawings, documents, project records, and estimating workflows to AI quantity extraction, pricing lookup, workbook generation, and estimator review. RenderDraw is useful when the project record lives in Procore but the estimating team still needs source-traceable quantities, pricing, and human approval before bid use.
| Step | What RenderDraw Reads | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Project intake | Procore drawings, documents, specifications, revisions, metadata, attachments, and exported measurements | Normalized project and drawing package |
| AI quantity extraction | Dimensions, counts, assemblies, areas, lengths, alternates, sheet notes, and source references | Structured quantity rows with evidence |
| Estimate mapping | Trade taxonomy, item codes, workbook template, supplier pricing, labor factors, waste, and margin rules | Estimate-ready workbook rows |
| Exception routing | Low confidence, conflicting revisions, missing units, missing pricing, and scope assumptions | Estimator review queue |
| Bid handoff | Approved quantities, pricing, source evidence, reviewer notes, and project context | Bid workbook or proposal-ready estimate |
Move drawing packages and project metadata into a structured estimating queue without rebuilding context in a spreadsheet.
Flag superseded sheets, addenda, scope changes, and conflicting quantities before pricing is applied.
Write approved quantities into a workbook with source references, pricing source, confidence, and estimator review status.
| Task | Manual Workflow | RenderDraw Workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Drawing retrieval | Estimator manually downloads or checks project files and revisions | Workflow inventories drawings, revisions, documents, and missing context |
| Quantity extraction | Measurements are counted and copied into workbooks by hand | AI extracts quantities and normalizes them into structured estimate rows |
| Pricing | Pricing is looked up after the takeoff is complete | Rows connect to supplier catalogs, labor rates, ERP, CPQ, or workbook prices |
| Review | Reviewer hunts for sheet evidence and assumptions | Each row preserves source sheet, revision, confidence, pricing source, and approval status |
No. RenderDraw can sit downstream from Procore project files and drawing context, then automate extraction, workbook creation, pricing lookup, and estimator review.
Yes. Revision, addenda, and sheet status can be included in the workflow so estimators review conflicts before pricing or bid submission.
Yes, when approved pricing sources are connected. Extracted quantities can map to workbook rows, supplier prices, labor factors, waste, margin, and approval status.
Estimators should review low-confidence quantities, scope assumptions, alternates, missing pricing, revision conflicts, and anything that affects bid risk.
