Upload the plan set and the AI does the takeoff — traced on the plan, material list on your SKUs — typically in 2–6 hours. You check it instead of counting it. And your first set, we run with you on a call.

Not a queue you send plans into. The AI does the takeoff for you — typically 2–6 hours — and you check it against the plan before it goes out. For your first set, we run it together on a call, so you see the draft against your own drawings.
That's who it's for. The AI drafts the takeoff and the material list; checking a draft takes a fraction of the time counting does, and we walk your first one with you.
A service hands you a finished list and its own assumptions. With Aximos the draft is yours: every number ties back to the line on the plan it came from, it follows your catalog, stock lengths and estimating rules, and when the plans change you adjust the trace instead of sending the job back.
Typically 2–6 hours for the draft and material list, and never more than a day. Larger or more complex plan sets take longer — and there's no queue, so the clock starts when you upload.
A subscription covers the workspace, and AI takeoff adds a fee per project based on the size of the plan set — you see it before the AI runs. Tracing by hand has no project fee. See the Pricing page, or book a demo and we'll price your projects.
A material list broken out by layer and trade, exported to Excel or CSV, and the plans marked up so every counted element is traceable. Assemblies are included where you've set them up.
Framing is the core — walls, studs, plates, sheathing, headers, beams, joists and rafters, and window and door openings — counted off your plans.
Yes. Book a demo and we'll run Aximos on one of your plan sets with you, so you can check the draft against the drawings yourself.
