Shop drawings & submittal.

Dimensioned shop drawings and the full submittal package, checked against your specs and load tables for the PE stamp.

YOUR AI WORKFORCE

Three AI employees. One precast workflow.

TAKEOFF AI01

Reads plans, drafts the takeoff.

Ingests civil engineering PDFs, pulls every structure off the plan sheets, matches them to your catalog, and returns a priced quote, built for review, not retyping.

Catch basinsManholesBox culverts
SUBMITTAL AI02

Packages the submittal, validates the calcs.

Approved takeoff in. Submittal package and shop drawings out, checked against your specs and load tables, with anything that needs a PE stamp flagged for review.

Shop drawingsSpec matchStamp-ready
PRODUCTION AI03

Schedules the pour, syncs the shop.

Turns the approved package into production orders tied straight to your shop calendar, so foremen know exactly what pours when and nothing slips.

FAQ

Questions we hear from yard owners.

How accurate is the takeoff really?

We're actively measuring accuracy field by field against engineer-verified quotes, and publishing the real numbers as we go rather than a single blended figure. Flagged items route to our team for review before a quote ships.
