Quote the package before the builder shops it around.

A builder drops off a plan set. Aximos traces the framing and builds the material list on your own SKUs, so the quote goes out in hours, often the same day, with every number tied to the plan.

From the plan set on your counter to the quote in your customer’s inbox.

At the counter

Take the plan set, not the afternoon

  • Upload between customers

    Drop in the builder’s PDF while they’re still at the counter.

  • No setup for each new job

    Each sheet is calibrated from its printed scale.

  • The whole set in one run

    The AI traces every sheet, not one page at a time.

  • Your counter keeps selling

    No one spends the afternoon counting studs.

Check the draft, don’t redo it

  • Every number links to its trace

    Click a quantity and see the lines it came from.

  • Assumptions cite the sheet

    Where the plans leave something open, the AI says what it assumed.

  • Checks flag what needs you

    Gaps like an opening with no header come up first.

  • Fix a line, the list updates

    The material list follows every correction.

FAQ

Questions from yards

Does it use our SKUs?

Yes. Bring your material list and the AI maps quantities to your own items and names. Pricing stays in your quoting system or ERP.

Can we show a customer where a number came from?

Yes. Every quantity links to the lines traced on the plan, so you can walk a builder through any count.

Does it connect to our ERP?

Not out of the box. ERP connections are worked out case by case, so talk to us about what you run. In the meantime, export the approved list to Excel or CSV.
