How Tech.us Helped a Precast Concrete Manufacturer Transform Takeoffs With AI

A precast concrete manufacturer partnered with Tech.us to build an AI-first Takeoff Automation Tool that transformed a highly manual estimating workflow. Using advanced OCR, computer vision, object detection, and generative AI, the platform extracts critical information from construction drawings and converts it into structured, proposal-ready takeoff data. 

Company Overview

The client is an established precast concrete manufacturer that supplies products for county, city, commercial, and other construction projects. Its projects often involve large volumes of precast structures and pipe systems, making accurate takeoffs essential to estimating costs, preparing competitive proposals, and protecting project margins.

As project volume increased, the company needed a faster and more scalable way to process construction drawings without relying on labor-intensive manual calculations.
