Count it in minutes. Price it on your own numbers.
BidcoreAI Scale is AI-powered takeoff, auto takeoff, AI agents and cost estimating in one workspace. It solves the slow, error-prone part of bidding: counting and measuring drawings by hand, and pricing the result.
Problems it solves
AI-powered takeoff
Problem: counting symbols and measuring runs by hand takes days and misses things. AI symbol detection reads the drawing and proposes counts and measurements, and your estimator reviews and applies every one.
Auto takeoff
Problem: the same device appears on every sheet. Pick a symbol once and Auto Count finds the matching symbols across the drawing for you to confirm, so repeat counts stop being repeat work.
Agents
Problem: finding and checking a figure in a big estimate is slow. Ask the Agent X assistant about the project and the estimate, or connect your own AI assistant with your own key. Agents propose, a person approves, and nothing changes silently.
Cost estimation on your own database
Problem: quantities are only half the bid. Price on a cost database you own across the CSI divisions, with unit costs for material, labor and equipment, and start from benchmark data or build it from your historical costs.
Assemblies, markups and a Final Estimate
Problem: the same items are rebuilt on every job. Reuse assemblies, apply markup factors and overrides, and finish with a Final Estimate you can defend line by line.
Takeoff to estimate with no re-entry
Problem: retyping quantities into a spreadsheet causes the errors. Quantities from the takeoff workspace flow straight into the estimate, by trade and CSI division, in the same project.
How it works
1
Measure
Open the drawings. AI and auto takeoff propose counts, lengths and areas for review.
2
Review
Accept, correct or reject each proposal. The estimator stays in control.
3
Price
Quantities flow into the estimate on your own rates, with markups applied once.
Questions
What is BidcoreAI Scale?
The takeoff and cost estimating product of BidcoreAI: AI-powered takeoff, auto takeoff, AI agents and cost estimating on a database you own.
Does the AI make the decisions?
No. The AI proposes counts and measurements and your estimators review and apply them. Agents propose, and a person approves.
How is auto takeoff different from AI takeoff?
AI takeoff detects symbols and measures from the drawing. Auto takeoff finds more of the same symbol you already picked, across the sheets, so you count a device once and confirm the rest.
Do I have to use my own cost data?
No. Build the database from your historical costs and keep it private to your organisation, or start from benchmark data.
Can someone else do the takeoff?
Yes. Our US estimators can measure the set for you and deliver the quantities into your project. See Takeoff Services.
How is Scale different from BidcoreAI Sync?
Scale is takeoff and cost estimating. Sync includes everything in Scale and carries the numbers on into bidding with your subs, the proposal, budget, schedule, billing, procurement and the site.
