Civils AI

Civils AI is an AI-powered platform designed to streamline construction estimating, quantity surveying, and PDF/CAD takeoffs. It enables engineers, estimators, and project managers to quickly extract, structure, and analyze data from drawings, specifications, and other project documents, reducing the manual effort typically required for pre-construction workflows. The primary purpose of Civils AI is to improve accuracy and speed in cost estimation and quantity measurement while maintaining full traceability to the original project documents.

The platform supports automated quantity takeoffs directly from PDF plans and CAD files, identifying elements such as areas, lengths, counts, and volumes with minimal manual input. Users can link quantities to specific drawings, details, and specification clauses, ensuring transparent audit trails and easier validation. Civils AI also assists in generating bill of quantities (BOQ) items, cost breakdowns, and comparison views between design revisions, helping teams understand changes and their impact on cost and scope. Integrated document search and extraction capabilities allow users to quickly locate relevant clauses, dimensions, and technical data across large drawing sets and specification documents.
