With increasing materials expenses in the construction industry, mastering takeoff calculations is a crucial step for accurately forecasting project expenses and enhancing bidding strategies. Aiming to address key business challenges in the industry, AMC Bridge has created AI Construction Takeoff, a new proof-of-concept tool that aims to show what the future of construction takeoff can be.

AI Construction Takeoff is a technology demonstration of automating the detection of a predefined set of symbols in construction drawings and the calculation of room square footage to streamline the construction takeoff process.

By applying the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies, the new technology demonstration reveals a way to streamline cost estimation and reduce manual evaluation and the risks of costly rework in construction, facility management, property development, architecture, design, and building inspection areas.

While existing products offer similar functionalities, AMC Bridge’s AI Construction Takeoff differentiates itself by incorporating an advanced ML/AI framework for symbol detection, room square footage calculation, and exporting results to CSV.

AI Construction Takeoff offers the following functionality:

  • Detecting, labeling, and counting symbols on electrical construction plans. 
  • Detecting rooms and calculating the room square footage. 
  • Highlighting detected materials and room contours over the floor plan. 
  • Exporting the results of object detection and room square footage to CSV. 

Utilizing an ML framework to detect objects accurately, the prototype demonstrates how to solve numerous business cases across the construction industry that involve a labor-intensive process of reviewing and analyzing construction drawings. It can benefit the accuracy and reliability of construction plans, the speed of the construction takeoff, the planning and management of maintenance and repair, the verification of plans compliance with building codes.

AMC Bridge’s AI Construction Takeoff demonstration technology has the potential to address the critical challenge of inefficiency and inaccuracy in the construction takeoff process. By significantly enhancing cost estimation accuracy, project timelines, and overall project quality, ultimately contributing to more successful construction projects, this technology can revolutionize the construction industry.
