Watch a plan sheet turn into a
quote and submittal set in one scroll.
Same job a human estimator ships in 2 to 3 days. ARC reads the plan, identifies every precast structure, prices it from your catalog, and drafts the submittal set. You review, adjust, and send.
You drop the plan into ARC. That is the only manual step.
No preprocessing, no XLSX prep, no scoping the sheets. Full civil PDF from the contractor, as-is. ARC handles the multi-sheet index, the schedule tables, and the profile views.
- Handles 200+ MB drawing sets without slicing
- Reads schedule + profile + plan view cross-references
- Locks the sheet to your workspace, not a public bucket
Every structure. Boxed, labeled, and pulled from the schedule.
Drag the divider. Left is the raw sheet the contractor sent. Right is the same sheet after ARC has resolved every precast structure against the schedule table.
The takeoff runs live.
Every structure gets a row with rim, invert, depth, and pipe. Values come from the plan and the schedule, not from a template. This is a replay of a real production run: 21 structures, live values, no cherry picking.
The catch flag ARC raises in this replay is a real unlabeled callout on the input plan. Your estimator gets a nudge before the quote goes out, not a support ticket after the job.
Pricing comes out of your catalog, not thin air.
Line items reference your plant's SKUs. Override any row inline. When you press Send the quote goes out on your letterhead, with your terms.
