RenderDraw extracts quantities from PDF and CAD drawing sets, maps them to your estimating taxonomy, applies approved pricing, and creates a quote-ready workbook that estimators can review before bid submission.
Takeoff AI quoting is the process of using AI to read construction drawings, extract quantities, match line items to approved pricing, and produce a quote-ready estimate. RenderDraw combines AI vision, knowledgebases, workbooks, and human gates so the final quote remains traceable and reviewable.
Most teams already have the pricing knowledge they need, but it lives in spreadsheets, catalogs, ERP systems, CPQ tools, and estimator memory. RenderDraw connects those sources to the takeoff workflow so the quote is assembled from approved data.
