Automated Drawing Analysis for Rapid Measurement

The core AI automatically detects rooms, walls, and other elements on floor plans, measuring areas and counts without manual tracing. This feature directly addresses the most time-consuming part of the estimating workflow.

Business outcome: Reduces takeoff time by up to 5x, allowing estimators to focus on bid strategy rather than manual measurement.

Instant Drawing Set Comparison to Quantify Changes

With a single click, estimators can compare different versions of a drawing set. The platform highlights changes and quantifies the impact, which is crucial for managing scope creep and change orders.

Business outcome: Enables faster, more accurate pricing of project changes, protecting profit margins on every job.

Cloud-Based Real-Time Teamwork on Takeoffs

Multiple team members can work on the same takeoff simultaneously from different locations. This cloud-based approach eliminates version control issues and keeps all project data centralized and accessible.

Business outcome: Improves team efficiency and ensures everyone is working from the latest project data, reducing costly errors.

Conversational AI to Interact with Construction Plans

The Togal.CHAT feature allows users to ask questions about their drawings in plain English. This conversational interface provides instant answers about quantities and specifications, making plan data more accessible to the whole team.

Business outcome: Empowers non-estimators to extract information from plans, reducing bottlenecks and improving cross-team communication.

Build Assemblies Directly in the Takeoff Environment

Estimators can create and save assemblies—groups of related items—right where they perform their takeoff. This streamlines the process of pricing complex systems and ensures consistency across bids.

Business outcome: Standardizes pricing methods and speeds up the estimating process for repetitive project components.

Analyze Any Drawing File Type Instantly

The platform is designed to handle any drawing file type without the need for conversion or specialized plugins. This flexibility removes a common technical barrier in preconstruction, allowing teams to start work immediately.

Business outcome: Eliminates delays caused by file incompatibility, ensuring the estimating process starts without friction.

• Speed of TakeoffThe platform's core value is its ability to perform takeoffs in minutes, a process that traditionally takes days.
• High AccuracyWith up to 98% accuracy on floor plans, it significantly reduces the risk of measurement errors that lead to costly bids.
• Ease of AdoptionBuilt by estimators, the interface is intuitive for construction professionals, reducing the learning curve and training time.
• Collaborative WorkflowReal-time cloud collaboration allows multiple team members to work on the same project, improving efficiency and data consistency.

• 3D BIM LimitationsThe tool is focused on 2D plan takeoff and may not be suitable for teams whose primary workflow is based on 3D BIM models.
• No Free TrialThere is no self-serve free plan; potential users must book a demo to evaluate the software, which can be a barrier for some.
• Per-User PricingThe pricing model is per user, which can become a significant cost for larger estimating departments, though custom pricing is available.
• Professional RealityWhile it automates measurement, it does not replace the need for skilled estimators to review outputs, apply judgment, and manage the full bid process.

Rapid Bid Turnaround for GCs

General contractors can use Togal.AI to quickly quantify multiple bid packages, allowing them to respond to more opportunities without expanding their estimating staff.

Accurate Specialty Trade Estimates

For drywall, painting, and flooring contractors, the tool automates the measurement of large surface areas, ensuring accurate material and labor costs are calculated quickly.

Managing Change Orders

The drawing comparison feature allows project managers to instantly see the cost impact of design changes, making the change order process faster and more defensible.

Streamlining Preconstruction

Preconstruction teams can use the platform to analyze design options and provide owners with faster, more accurate feedback during the planning phase.
