# Togal.AI > Togal.AI is AI-assisted construction takeoff software that helps estimators and preconstruction teams automate repetitive quantity takeoff, accelerate drawing analysis, and collaborate in the cloud — while keeping estimators fully in control of review, validation, and pricing. Positioning: "Takeoff in Minutes. Not Days." Togal.AI is cloud-based takeoff software built for commercial general contractors, subcontractors, estimators, chief estimators, VP preconstruction, and operations leaders who want to modernize takeoff workflows without disrupting how estimators already work. It combines AI-assisted takeoff automation, intelligent drawing search, native AI chat across plans, cloud collaboration, and advanced manual tools in a single platform on one subscription fee. Togal.AI is AI-assisted, not autonomous. AI handles repetitive detection, searching, counting, organization, and drawing analysis; estimators remain in control of review, validation, scope judgment, and final pricing. The platform is designed to amplify estimators, not replace them. ## What Togal.AI does - Automates repetitive area, linear, and count quantity takeoffs - Accelerates drawing analysis and full plan-set navigation - Searches entire drawing sets by text, image/symbol, and pattern/hatch - Auto-names and organizes uploaded sheets - Enables real-time, permission-based cloud collaboration for distributed teams - Exports quantities to Excel, CSV, and PDF, and into existing estimating systems - Scales bid volume without scaling repetitive manual work ## What Togal.AI is not - Not estimating, bid-pricing, or autonomous bidding software - Not project management, BIM authoring, accounting, or ERP software - Not a hands-off, push-button automated process - Not a replacement for estimator expertise or judgment Togal.AI focuses specifically on the quantity takeoff and drawing analysis portion of preconstruction. Estimators export quantities into their existing estimating systems, spreadsheets, or integrated estimating software. ## Core capabilities - Automatic page upload from 1 to 1,000+ sheets in minutes, with automatic scale detection for architectural floor plans - Blueprint upload supported up to 2.5 gigapixels - Automatic area measurement (footprint, net, gross), linear measurement (wall centerlines, perimeter), and counts (fixtures, appliances) - Text search for numbers and set details; image search for symbols and fixtures; pattern/hatch detection for materials - Map takeoff at real-world scale, 3D visualization of results, automatic classification into preset groups, and automatic snapping to points, lines, and closed edges - Advanced manual backup tools: manual/metric or no-scale measurement, quantities managed by floor/color/square footage, custom formulas, merge, cut & subtract, and split - Reusable libraries, takeoff templates for repeatable areas (hotels, schools), and assemblies that bundle materials/labor with a 3D view ## AI features - **Togal Button** — AI-assisted detection and measurement of areas, counts, and linear quantities. Teams have reported completing takeoffs up to 80% faster than legacy workflows. - **Togal Search** — AI-assisted search across full drawing sets by image, symbol, text, and pattern. - **Togal.CHAT** — AI-assisted, natural-language interaction with plans to review scope, check quantities, identify missing scope, and draft RFI language, with an LLM built in (no external LLM required). ## Trades supported Drywall, windows and doors, painting and wallpaper, flooring, roofing, commercial interiors, electrical, plumbing, demolition, concrete, and glazing — across commercial general contractor and subcontractor workflows. ## How it works 1. Upload plans, PDFs, or aerial imagery — AI auto-names every document. 2. Run takeoff — automatic scale detection (with manual/no-scale options) produces structured areas, linear, and counts. 3. Organize quantities — classify automatically, combine multiple estimators' work on the same drawing, and group by material, scope, phase, or location. 4. "Talk" to your plans — ask questions in Togal.CHAT for faster document understanding. 5. Export — configured quantities and totals to PDF, CSV, or Excel, ready for third-party estimating software. ## Integrations and export Exports to Excel, CSV, PDF, and existing estimating systems. **Ediphi** integration connects AI-assisted takeoffs directly into estimating workflows with audit trails. **Zebel** integration speeds the move from takeoff to conceptual and detailed pricing. ## Migration from legacy tools Teams commonly move to Togal.AI from On-Screen Takeoff (OST), Bluebeam, and PlanSwift to escape manual clicking, desktop-only software, disconnected spreadsheets, and fragmented collaboration. Togal.AI is differentiated by AI-assisted takeoff automation, cloud collaboration, AI search across drawings, native AI chat across plans, automated sheet naming, and real-time teamwork in one platform. ## Scale and adoption Over the last year the platform processed more than 5 million drawings, with average time from upload to instant takeoff under 3 minutes. It supports large estimating teams migrating from legacy tools to operate at scale with complete scope coverage. ## Security and enterprise readiness SOC 2 Type I and Type II, permission-based collaboration, administrative controls, secure cloud infrastructure, team-based project management, and SSO for enterprise environments. Built for both growing construction companies and enterprise estimating teams. ## Pricing Starts at $299/month per user, billed annually. The Growth plan includes unlimited automated takeoffs, chat prompts, and image/symbol searches, plus internal and external collaboration and cloud workflows. Enterprise/custom plans add onboarding, dedicated support, security compliance support, SSO, quantity discounts, custom migration, and classification libraries. Custom pricing is available for teams of four or more. ## FAQ - **What does Togal.AI do?** AI-assisted construction takeoff software that automates repetitive quantity takeoff, accelerates drawing analysis, and enables cloud collaboration. - **Is it estimating software?** No — it is takeoff software.
