Digs AI Takeoffs has been named Construction Estimation Software Platform of the Year by PropTech Breakthrough, recognizing the platform’s role in helping builders make material takeoffs faster and more efficient with AI.
For construction teams, estimating starts with the plans. Before materials can be ordered, budgets can be finalized, or work can move forward, teams need to understand what is actually required for the job.
Traditionally, getting those quantities from plans can be a time-consuming manual process. AI is changing that.
With Digs AI Takeoffs, builders can turn plan information into usable measurements in seconds, helping teams spend less time measuring and more time moving projects forward.
Turning Days of Manual Takeoffs Into Seconds
Material takeoffs are an important part of the construction estimating process, but they can also be one of the most repetitive.
Estimators and construction teams may need to review plans, identify relevant spaces and materials, calculate quantities, and organize measurements by category or trade. When those tasks are completed manually, even a single project can require hours of work.
Digs AI Takeoffs helps automate much of that process.
Builders can achieve 95% faster material takeoffs, going from days to seconds.
Instead of manually measuring every area on a plan, teams can use AI to identify and calculate measurements, then refine the results as needed.
The result is a faster path from plans to quantities.

How AI Takeoffs Help Builders
Digs AI Takeoffs is designed to give builders the speed of automation while keeping them in control of their measurements.
Automatically Extract Measurements
AI can identify and extract measurements for common construction categories, including:
- Flooring
- Countertops
- Tile
- Vertical surfaces
- Other material categories
This reduces the amount of repetitive measurement work required before quantities can be used for estimating.
Generate Square and Linear Footage
Once measurements are identified, Digs AI Takeoffs can generate square and linear footage directly from construction plans.
Rather than starting calculations from scratch, teams have a set of AI-generated measurements they can review and use as the foundation for their takeoff.
Refine Measurements With Precision
AI-generated results are designed to be adjustable.
Builders can refine, split, merge, and modify measurements when a project requires a different configuration. This gives teams the flexibility to account for real-world project details while maintaining the efficiency of an automated takeoff.
Organize Takeoffs by Room and Trade
Keeping quantities organized is just as important as calculating them.
Digs AI Takeoffs helps teams organize measurements by room and trade, making it easier to understand where materials are needed and how quantities contribute to the overall project.
Quickly Review Category Totals
Teams can quickly view category totals to get a clearer picture of material quantities across a project.
That means less time searching through plans and spreadsheets and more time working with information that is ready to use.
Why AI Takeoffs Matter for Construction Estimating
The value of AI in construction isn't simply about adding another automated tool to the workflow.
It's about removing time-consuming work that doesn't need to be done manually.
Construction teams already have significant amounts of information contained in their plans. The challenge is turning that information into something people can quickly understand and act on.
AI-powered takeoff software helps bridge that gap.
By automating measurement and quantity calculations, builders can reduce repetitive work, accelerate estimating workflows, and give teams faster access to the information they need.
And because takeoffs are often an early step in the estimating process, improving this part of the workflow can have a ripple effect throughout the project.
Faster Takeoffs Without Giving Up Control
One of the biggest opportunities with AI-powered construction software is combining automation with human oversight.
AI can handle repetitive measurement tasks at a speed that would be difficult to match manually. Builders can then review the results, make adjustments, and apply their own expertise where it matters.
That balance is important.
The goal isn't to replace the experience of estimators and construction professionals. It's to give them better tools to spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time on the work that requires their knowledge.
