Get an AI first pass on drywall, ceiling and paint takeoffs
The problem
Interior takeoffs mean cross-referencing wall tags on floor plans, partition details, reflected ceiling plans and finish schedules, so a single drywall or paint takeoff can eat a full day of clicking and counting.
How AI helps
AI auto takeoff reads the plan set and returns organized conditions to review: net room areas, ceilings split by type, wall footage by partition tag, paint linears for both wall faces from the finish schedule, and door, window and fixture counts. On Center's customer stories report typical interior takeoffs dropping from a full day to 30 to 60 minutes, with the estimator checking every quantity before pricing.
