Takeoff Lab — AI preconstruction for renewables
PRECONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE FOR RENEWABLES

If you're the one bidding renewables, you already know.

Takeoffs, budgets, bid leveling, proposals, schedules — all of it still runs on workbooks built in 2003. Your team is drowning. And the buildout keeps growing.

We're building the tool you needed 10 years ago.

Same bid. Same accuracy. Same estimator judgment. A fraction of the time.

And the rest of preconstruction
75% less time

Budgets, bid leveling, spec review, proposals, schedules — the work around the estimate runs about a quarter of the time it used to. The whole preconstruction cycle compresses, not just the takeoff.

What Takeoff Lab does

One platform for the whole preconstruction workflow.

We read your vendor drawings. We match a professional estimator. We produce your bid in minutes, not days — then the budget, the proposal, and the schedule come off the same data. Judgment stays with your team; the tedious 80% happens automatically. Estimating is the anchor, but the platform runs preconstruction end to end.

01 / READ

Read the drawings

Vendor PDFs, one-lines, cable schedules — parsed the way an experienced estimator would.

02 / MATCH

Match a pro estimator

Materials mapped to your line items and pricing. Your conventions, your structure.

03 / SHIP

Ship the bid

Review, adjust, override where judgment matters. A defensible bid drops in minutes — and the proposal, budget, and schedule follow from it.

04 / REMEMBER

Query The Brain

Your firm's entire preconstruction history — every project, every line item, every vendor — queryable in plain language. It compounds with every bid you run. This is what no other takeoff tool gives you.

Extensibility

Built for how your team works.

Every EPC has a proprietary estimating process — the way you count JBs, the vendors you price against, the takeoff conventions your team has refined over years of bids. Standard software forces you to abandon that process. Our platform is built to absorb it.

The core toolset is the foundation. On top of it we co-develop workflows specific to your team — and every one of them becomes a durable platform capability.

How co-development works
Custom takeoff extractors

For proprietary drawing conventions your team already uses.

Custom pricing rules

Your vendor catalogs, your markup logic, your line-item structure.

Custom output formats

Bid summaries and BOM rollups in the shape your clients expect.

Integrations

Connected to the systems your estimating team already runs on.

If your estimating process doesn't fit standard software, that's a fit signal — not a mismatch.
