How It Works

AI Material Takeoff: From Floor Plan Upload to Full List in Under 3 Minutes.

Automated construction estimating used to mean expensive software that still needed you to manually trace over drawings. RenoCalc's AI material takeoff reads the plan itself — it's floor plan OCR software that detects walls, rooms, doors and windows, then calculates what you need for every trade without you lifting a pencil.

Builder paperwork automation at its most practical: upload the plan, confirm the rooms, and your material list — plus a full 5-document quote pack — is ready to send. Need to compare options?

FAQs

Common Questions

What is AI material takeoff?

AI material takeoff uses artificial intelligence to read a floor plan or drawing and automatically calculate the quantities of materials needed for each trade. RenoCalc does this from a simple PDF upload — detecting rooms, measuring areas and perimeters, and listing materials across 12 renovation trades in under 3 minutes.

How accurate is the AI material takeoff?

The AI reads floor plan geometry directly, so quantities are based on actual drawn dimensions rather than estimates or memory. It's as accurate as manually measuring from the plan — just hundreds of times faster. For most renovation jobs, the output is ready to quote from without adjustment.

Does it work on hand-drawn plans?

Yes. RenoCalc's floor plan OCR software is trained on a wide range of plan types — architect's drawings, hand-sketched layouts, and estate agent floor plans. If the rooms are legible, the AI can read them.

Can I use it as AI software for renovation quotes?

Absolutely. The AI material takeoff feeds directly into a 5-document quote pack — including a RenoCalc Spreadsheet, schedule of works, method statements and a contract pack. It's the complete AI software for renovation quotes that takes you from plan to professional quote without any manual steps in between.

Is it cloud-based?

Yes. RenoCalc is cloud estimating software for builders — it works in a browser on any device, and your quotes are saved and accessible anywhere. No installation, no downloads, no IT setup required.
