Bid every door on the set. Nothing missed, nothing hand-counted.
Upload a full drawing set and get every opening counted, numbered, and cross-checked against the door schedule. In your browser, on real dense plan sets.
Quoting.ai Takeoff counts doors from full architectural drawing sets automatically. It runs in the browser, reads dense multifamily and commercial sets, extracts the door schedule, counts plan symbols, and its 4 Eyes check cross-references schedule counts against plan counts against the legend, surfacing every discrepancy. Door estimators bidding 2,500-opening jobs spend 15 to 20 hours on manual takeoff; the upload is the demo.
The bids this is built for
- Estimators tell us 70 percent of door estimating time is data entry, not judgment. At roughly 2,500 openings a job, that is 15 to 20 hours of tagging and retyping per bid.
- The schedule says 214 openings, the plans show 217. Whoever eats that difference eats it at installed cost, months after the bid.
- Submittals need apartment-based numbering like 1A01 and 1A02. Random door IDs from a counting tool mean renumbering everything by hand anyway.
How does AI door takeoff work?
Upload the full set, not a cropped sheet. The system reads the door schedule, finds every door symbol on the plans, and matches them: mark by mark, floor by floor. It runs in your browser on WebGPU, so a dense student-housing set does not need an upload to someone's cloud queue overnight.
You get counts by type, hardware group, and floor, with every opening traceable back to its spot on the sheet.
What is the 4 Eyes omission check?
Three sources of truth exist on every set: the schedule, the plan symbols, and the legend. 4 Eyes counts all three independently and surfaces every disagreement, because a missed opening is not a counting error, it is a change order you pay for.
The pitch is not counting faster. It is never eating the cost of a missed opening again.
Does it number doors the way submittals need?
Apartment-based numbering, like 1A01 for the first door of unit 1A, is how door submittals actually get read. Numbering follows the unit and level structure of the set, so the takeoff you export is the submittal skeleton, not a pile of random IDs to rework.
What does it cost to try?
Nothing to see it work: upload a plan set and watch it count. The product is the demo. If the set is dense, messy, and real, even better. That is what it is built for.
Estimator questions
Does it work on scanned or low-quality sheets?
It reads real-world sets, including imperfect ones. Sheets too degraded to read reliably are flagged honestly rather than counted with false confidence.
Can it handle elevations and details, not just floor plans?
Counting works from plans, schedule, and legend. Elevation cross-checks are on the roadmap as trades expand, and this page will say so when that ships, not before.
What about hardware sets and prep details?
The takeoff carries the schedule's hardware groups per opening, so your hardware pricing starts from the schedule's own structure.
Is my plan set used to train models?
Your sets are yours. Processing runs in the browser where possible, and uploads are used to produce your takeoff, not shopped around. Security questions get straight answers before you commit.
