Consigli, a fifth-generation construction manager with 15+ offices, $4B+ in annual volume, and a distributed team of 80–100 estimators, transitioned from On-Screen Takeoff to Togal.AI to better support the scale and complexity of its estimating operations.

As bid volume and coordination demands grew across regions, they needed a faster, more consistent, and collaborative way to work—driving meaningful gains in efficiency, alignment, and estimate quality.

Key wins:

• Automated Repeating Groups eliminate redundant takeoff work across multi-unit and repetitive scopes
• Significant time savings by reducing manual clicking, tracing, and labeling
• More time for deeper plan review and validation, improving estimate quality and confidence
• True cloud-based collaboration, enabling multiple estimators to work in parallel across offices
• Improved ability to coordinate on complex projects and clearly communicate scope decisions

“We see Togal.AI as a teammate for the long haul, and someone that is going to listen to us and grow with us,” Chief Estimator Tim Ericson says. “They’re forward-thinking. They’re coming up with solutions to problems that have existed for as long as construction has.”

Coastal Construction, a leading Florida-based general contractor known for delivering complex high-rise residential, mixed-use, hospitality, and commercial towers, adopted Togal.AI to streamline preconstruction across projects ranging from 30 to 60+ stories.

As project scale and coordination demands increased, Coastal needed a faster, more connected way to manage estimating, design changes, and quantity validation—without sacrificing accuracy or control.

Key wins:

• 50–65% reduction in total preconstruction effort
• 140–230 hours saved per project
• 60–70% faster ROM development
• 40–60% reduction in coordination and data integration effort
• 35–45% faster design change tracking across multiple drawing iterations
• 60–70% faster quantity validation during buyout

By consolidating AI-assisted takeoffs, drawing comparison, collaboration, and subcontractor validation into a single cloud-based workflow, Coastal improved alignment across teams, accelerated decision-making, and reduced risk throughout the estimating lifecycle.

“Togal.AI reduces coordination and data integration efforts by 40–60%, enabling Coastal to streamline team workflows, eliminate manual merging of quantities, and deliver more accurate and timely estimates.” — Daniel Cutimanco, Estimator at Coastal Construction

An independent University of Kansas study—and peer reviewed by Simplar Foundation, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and Arizona State University—compared time efficiency and accuracy of two estimation and takeoff software programs: Togal.AI, an AI-powered estimation tool, and On-Screen Takeoff (OST), a traditional computer-assisted program. The end result proving that Togal.AI is significantly faster than OST.

Select Painting specializes in commercial painting projects and has served the area of Sioux Falls for over 15 years. While their estimating process was already efficient, Select Painting wanted a faster, more accurate way to handle painting takeoffs as the company looked to submit more bids and grow its workload.

The results?

• Faster takeoffs: Togal.AI significantly reduces the time needed for each estimate.
• More bids submitted: Increased capacity means more opportunities to win work.
• Reduced errors and rework: Visual 3D tools help foremen understand projects clearly.
• Lower material waste: Mistakes avoided translate into cost savings.

All of this goes to show that Togal.AI doesn’t just make painting takeoffs faster; our AI-backed software helps estimators work smarter and offers a competitive edge.

“What used to take us a week or more to produce a conceptual estimate has been streamlined into a matter of hours. Our repeat customers know of our new capability, and it is helping them focus on viable deals, using our reliable cost data, and giving us more work opportunities.” Jon Reid, Director of Preconstruction at UrbanCore Construction

NC Painting was completing 19 bids per month on average using legacy software, Bluebeam. Their goal was to increase that number to 25 bids per month with Togal. In less than 60 days, NC Painting had increased their bid rate to an average of 60 bids per month, blowing their original goal out of the water!

• Switched from legacy software Bluebeam to Togal.AI
• Increased their bid rate by 215% in just two months
• Since switching to Togal, “our productivity is off the charts”

Total Flooring Contractors was given 48 hours to submit a bid for a 30-story high rise. Using Togal, they were able to do the takeoff in less than two days. Not only did they WIN the lucrative contract, it led to them winning another large project with the same construction company the following year.

• Went from doing a takeoff in 2 weeks, to just 2 days
• Togal’s AI tool caught costly errors before bid submission
• Customer won the contract because they were able to point out those errors to the GC

Before Togal, it took the team at Illusions Painting weeks to do a takeoff using old-school paper plans. Now, they get work done, “in the blink of an eye”. After researching and testing multiple software solutions, they chose Togal for its speed, the built-in AI tools, and the ability to collaborate in real time with team members.

• Cloud-based software lets teams work on the same takeoff at the same time
• Access your takeoffs from anywhere, from any device with internet
• 3D rendering in Togal allows users to visualize important details they may have missed on a 2D takeoff

Coastal Construction is one of the largest contractors in the Southeastern US. They were averaging ~20 hours per week in their old takeoff software, most of that time was spent manually clicking, counting, and coloring. After switching to Togal, they saved an average of 14.5 hrs per plan set, resulting in a cumulative cost savings of ~$1 Million per year.

• Switched from manual takeoffs to AI-assisted takeoffs with Togal
• Able to collaborate with 400+ employees and subcontractors in real time
• Increased bid rate to an average of 10 bids/month
• Saved 13,920 hours, resulting in a savings of $1M in their first year with Togal

An independent University of Kansas study compared time efficiency and accuracy of two estimation and takeoff software programs: Togal.AI, an AI-powered estimation tool, and On-Screen Takeoff (OST), a traditional computer-assisted program. A case study showed up to 76% time savings with Togal.AI over OST. It just goes to show how human-AI collaboration enhances productivity.
