Technology
AI Quantity Takeoff
A patent-pending technology that uses an AI model trained on piping drawings and quantity data to calculate material types and quantities.
From drawing information to reviewable quantities
Drawing information
Distinguish systems, pipe diameters, segments and fitting symbols.
AI analysis
A development concept for organising recognised information by material item.
Human review
A reviewer checks omissions, duplicates and ambiguous symbols against the drawings.
A concept diagram explaining the technology. Application depends on development status and site conditions.
Technical components
The components below are as described in the patent filings.
Inputs
Piping drawings and quantity data are used as training data.
AI analysis
The trained model analyses piping information and material quantities on drawings.
Outputs
Analysis results are produced as quantity data and material lists.
Turning drawings into material lists
Quantity takeoff turns the work shown on drawings into material types and quantities. Lines that look alike must be separated when their material, size or system differs. AI quantity takeoff covers technology that supports this classification and counting. The overview of the application and the example below are presented separately.
Site example
Comparing pipe quantities before and after a drawing revision
An example showing how drawings are read and changed quantities reviewed. It does not describe the functions or measured performance of any software currently offered.
Inputs
Prepare floor-by-floor piping plans, system diagrams and material specifications. Confirm drawing scales, revision numbers and work zones, and separate demolition from new work.
Example calculation
Classify straight pipe lengths and fittings such as elbows, tees and valves by material and size. Overlapping lines and unclear symbols that AI cannot read reliably are set aside for review.
Human review
Check vertical runs and connections that do not appear on plans against the system diagrams. After checking for overlaps between trades and missing items, the responsible person confirms the quantities.
Example result
A quantity schedule by zone, material, size and unit, with a list of changes before and after the revision. Installed quantity, order quantity and allowance sit in separate columns, and unit rates are set by the responsible person.
