Ask chat to take off quantities on your drawings
The problem
Estimators still click every wall and room by hand even when drawings are clean CAD PDFs.
How AI helps
Upload vector PDFs, ask in chat for a scope and sheet, and an AI takeoff agent snaps measurements to the linework so you review editable quantities instead of starting from a blank sheet.
