How It Works

AI That Reads Floor Plans the Way You Would — Just Much Faster.

Doing a takeoff from a floor plan by hand means scaling dimensions, measuring room by room, doing the maths for every trade. It's skilled work — and it takes hours. RenoCalc's floor plan OCR software reads the drawing automatically, so the AI does the measuring and you spend your time pricing and winning the job.

It works on PDF floor plans, scanned drawings, photographs of hand-drawn plans, and estate agent floor plan images. If you can read it, the AI can read it — and generate a building estimate from PDF plans that's ready to send as a professional quote pack.

FAQs

Common Questions

What does "takeoff from floor plan" mean?

A takeoff from a floor plan means measuring room dimensions, calculating surface areas and perimeters, and working out the quantities of materials needed for each trade — directly from the drawing. RenoCalc's AI does this automatically from a floor plan upload, covering 12 renovation trades in under 3 minutes.

What floor plan formats does RenoCalc accept?

RenoCalc accepts PDF floor plans, scanned or photographed hand-drawn plans, architect's drawings, and estate agent floor plan images. The AI reads the geometry directly, so it works across a wide range of formats and quality levels.

Is this the same as digital takeoff software?

RenoCalc goes beyond traditional digital takeoff software. Traditional tools require you to manually trace over plans on screen — RenoCalc reads the plan automatically using AI, so there's no manual tracing at all. It's faster, more accurate, and requires no training.

Can it do a building estimate from PDF plans?

Yes. Upload your PDF floor plan and RenoCalc will produce a complete building estimate — material quantities per trade, costs per room, and a full 5-document quote pack including a schedule of works, method statements, and a contract pack. It's the complete workflow from plan to client-ready quote.

What is floor plan OCR software?

Floor plan OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software reads text and geometry from floor plan images. RenoCalc uses AI-powered OCR to detect room labels, dimensions, and geometric shapes — then uses that data to calculate material quantities and produce a complete takeoff, not just a text extraction.
