Civils.ai

Civils.ai delivers a direct solution to one of the most time-consuming tasks in pre-construction: quantity takeoffs. Instead of relying on generic AI, it uses specialized agents trained specifically to read and measure construction drawings, achieving a claimed 97% accuracy on modern PDFs. This is a significant advantage, as general models struggle with the complexity of drawings, tabular data, and industry-specific notations. The platform's core promise is to increase your team's capacity without increasing headcount. It backs this with proof points like reducing manual effort by up to 90% and supporting over $3 billion in projects for more than 200 firms. A key differentiator is its human-in-the-loop quality assurance. Every AI-generated takeoff is reviewed by a human QA team before you receive it, providing a layer of confidence that fully automated systems lack. This allows estimators to trust the output for bids and project planning. It also handles complex subsurface data from geotechnical reports, a specialized capability that saves engineers significant manual transcription time.
