AI + Operations / Construction
Turning construction plans into structured estimating workflows.
AutoTakeoff
Cass & York built an AI-assisted construction application that combines project plans, measurement tools, material workflows, document processing, and billing in one platform.
The situation
Construction estimating begins with information embedded in plans.
Turning those plans into usable quantities requires people to inspect documents, understand scale, identify materials, measure drawings, and organize the resulting data around a project.
AutoTakeoff was designed around that workflow.
What we built
Plans, measurements, materials, and billing in one platform.
The application uses both JavaScript and Python document tooling alongside multiple AI providers.
- +Project management
- +PDF plan viewing
- +Vector overlays
- +Drawing tools
- +Scale selection
- +DPI calibration
- +Measurements
- +Material records
- +Material locations
- +Price history
- +AI-assisted document analysis
- +OCR and PDF processing
- +Billing and subscriptions
- +Account workflows

Working with construction documents
The plan and the project data share one workspace.
Dedicated tools for interacting with plans allow document information and project data to exist in the same application.
- +PDF viewer
- +Vector overlays
- +Drawing toolbar
- +Scale selector
- +DPI calibration
- +Measurement display
- +Material tables
