AI Construction Estimating Software

Upload plans or photos and get a complete, priced estimate back, built trade by trade instead of one generic AI pass.

Problem

Manual estimating is slow and inconsistent

Most contractors are still building estimates by hand, reviewing plans page by page, writing line items from scratch, and hoping nothing gets missed. It takes hours per bid, and the quality depends on who is doing it that day.

KonstructIQ uses AI to read your inputs and generate a structured scope of work automatically, then carries that scope through measurement, materials, pricing, and bid comparison, all from the same set of numbers.

Why it works

Built by trade specific AI agents, not one generic pass

Parallel trade specific AI agents produce evidence backed estimating line items.

Most AI estimating tools run a single model over your whole plan set and hope it catches everything. KonstructIQ runs a dedicated agent per trade, each one reading the parts of the plan relevant to that trade, the way a real estimator would divide the work.

  • Every quantity is grounded in evidence on the sheet: printed figures, traced geometry, counts of schedules and symbols

  • When evidence is incomplete or contradictory, the system flags it and lowers confidence instead of guessing

  • Agents ask clarifying questions before committing to a scope, rather than assuming and moving on

  • Every trade and line item carries a confidence rating, so you know what is solid and what needs a look

A framing takeoff read the way framing actually gets estimated, not squeezed through a generic pass.

How it works

From plans to a priced, client-ready estimate

1

Generate your scope

Upload plans, photos, or describe the job. Trade specific AI agents read the plans and generate a complete, evidence backed scope of work.

Generate a scope of work from construction plans.

2

Measure and refine

A takeoff happens in the same pass, measuring quantities directly against the generated scope. Edit the takeoff against the drawings, chat with the AI to adjust scope conversationally, or let AI symbol detection count fixtures and outlets across the sheet.

Measure and refine quantities against your generated scope.

3

Build your Bill of Materials

Measured quantities convert into the materials it takes to build them, with waste and unit conversions applied automatically and every assumption shown.

Build a Bill of Materials from measured quantities.

4

Price your estimate

Your catalog, your markup settings, and your template structure apply automatically, so pricing comes from your numbers, not generic averages.

Price your estimate using your catalog and markup settings.

5

Manage bids and award

Request bids from subs, compare responses side by side, and swap the accepted bid’s pricing straight into the estimate.

Compare subcontractor bids and award the accepted bid.
