Does Togal.AI Actually Save Time on Takeoffs?

Construction software often makes bold claims about how much time it saves, how much money it saves, and how much money it makes. But how do you separate the facts from the marketing fluff?

At Togal.AI, we’re putting up the hard data to prove that our construction estimation software truly saves time on takeoffs. Time saved is a big deal for estimators, general contractors, and subcontractors. Why? Because faster takeoffs mean you can submit more bids faster and ultimately win more projects.

Here’s a closer look at how Togal.AI saves time on quantity takeoffs.

University of Kansas Discovers Togal.AI Is Faster than OST

We’re not just blowing smoke. Academic research from the University of Kansas Civil, Environmental & Architectural Engineering (CEAE) Department and Master of Architectural Engineering (ARCE) Program found that, compared to On-Screen Takeoff (OST), Togal.AI delivers up to 76% time savings.

This case study focused on performing a quantity takeoff of architectural floor plans from a clear drawing set of a fire station. What took over two and a half hours to complete using OST was done in just over half an hour using Togal.AI.

The study says, “Togal.AI offers substantial time savings as it allows the integration of AI features, combined with manual review.” The research paper explains that when AI tools and features work hand in hand with professional experts, the outcomes are beneficial. We couldn’t agree more!

The subject performing the takeoff was new to both OST and Togal.AI. Not only was Togal.AI faster than OST—while maintaining a high level of accuracy—but the speed at which the test subject learned Togal.AI was also substantially faster.

On average, new users learn our estimation software in under 30 minutes—that’s faster than an episode of your favorite TV show.

Our Customers Love Our AI-Backed Takeoff Software

Nothing makes us happier than seeing our customers succeed.

For example, Total Flooring Contractors needed to submit a bid for a 30-story high-rise but were only given 48 hours to do so. What would have been nearly impossible before Togal.AI was now within their reach. 

Instead of taking their usual two weeks to complete a takeoff, Total Flooring was able to complete it in two days. Better yet, thanks to Togal.AI, Total Flooring caught costly errors before the bid submission. As you can imagine, this was a big win for the general contractor as well!

And there are many more customer success stories attesting to our takeoff software:

• NC Painting increased its bid rate by 215% in under two months by switching from Bluebeam to Togal.AI.
• Illusions Painting reports getting work done “in the blink of an eye.”
• Coastal Construction saves an average of 14.5 hrs per plan set, which translates to 13,920 hours per year.

All of this goes to show that time spent on Togal is time well spent.
