Estimating Automation Use Case

Quantity Extraction

Automating quantity extraction from architectural floor plans using custom computer vision and spatial reasoning.

1. The Problem

Trade estimators spend endless hours manually tallying fixture counts and line items from complex drawing sets.

2. Input Drawing

Multi-sheet architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) drawings.

INPUT FORMATS: PDF (Vector / Raster) · DWG Renders · TIFF / PNG Scans

3. AI Pipeline Process

Parallel vision pipelines count symbols across sheets, deduplicate overlapping callouts, and format structured line-item tallies.

Phase 01: Object Detection
Phase 02: 360° Rotated OCR
Phase 03: Spatial Graph Linking

4. Annotated Visual Output

Visual count overlay marking every detected item with numbered count markers across all drawing sheets.

5. Structured Data Export

Export-ready Bill of Quantities (BoQ) in Excel, CSV, or direct estimating API JSON.

6. Business Impact

Cuts takeoff time from days to minutes while preventing bid-ruining manual counting omissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we export quantities directly into Excel?

Yes. All extracted quantity data exports cleanly into custom formatted Excel spreadsheets or CSVs.
