📐 AI Plan Takeoff

Upload the plans. Get an itemized estimate and a 3D model.

Orchamind reads your construction plans — PDF, PNG, or JPG — finds the printed area schedule and treats it as the source of truth for square footage, reads the marked dimensions, identifies the roof and stories, and drafts an itemized estimate. Then it shows the building in 3D.

The two slowest parts of bidding, done in seconds

Reading plans and pricing the work take the most time and cause the most errors. Orchamind does the reading and the arithmetic; your judgment sets the final price.

Upload plans

PDF, PNG, or JPG — or snap photos of the key sheets on your phone.

Schedule = ground truth

It reads the printed area schedule and uses those numbers for square footage instead of guessing.

Itemized draft + 3D

Get line items plus a 3D preview of the property. Unspecified details come back as questions.

Price & send

Apply your rates, pick Good/Better/Best, send — or convert to an invoice.

Why the numbers hold up
Printed area schedule as ground truth

A plan that states "Main 1,027 + Upper 1,027" reads 2,054 SF — the schedule wins over a guessed footprint.

Uses marked dimensions

It reads the dimensions printed on the drawing rather than estimating from pixels.

Roof type & stories detected

Flat, low-slope, gable, or hip — and the correct number of floors, reflected in the 3D preview.

Questions, not silent guesses

Anything the plans don't specify comes back as a short question you can answer, so nothing is invented.

3D plan-to-building preview

The plan materializes as a blueprint hologram and resolves into a solid model you can rotate.

Every line editable

The draft lands in an editor where you confirm quantities and apply your own markup before sending.

Plan takeoff FAQs

What file types can I upload?

PDF, PNG, and JPG. Upload a plan set or snap photos of the key sheets with your phone.

How does the AI get the square footage right?

It reads the printed area schedule and treats those numbers as ground truth rather than guessing from the drawing, then reconciles the geometry to the stated area — so a plan that prints 2,054 SF reads 2,054 SF.

Does it show a 3D model?

Yes — uploaded plans generate a 3D preview that starts as a glowing blueprint hologram and resolves into a solid model with the correct roof type and story count.

Is the takeoff accurate enough to bid?

It's a strong first draft, not a final bid. Every assumption is listed, unspecified details come back as questions, and you confirm quantities and apply markup before sending.
