Introduction

Machine learning and AI generated takeoff are becoming increasingly popular in the construction industry. However, there is still a lot of hype and concern surrounding these technologies. In this article, we will address the reality versus the expectation of machine learning and AI generated takeoff. We will cover topics such as trusting the output, efficiency, augmenting rather than automating, the role of estimators, learning drawings, catalog of takeoff items, and national home builders and developers of MDU multi-family units.

Trusting Machine Learning and AI Generated Takeoff

One of the biggest concerns with machine learning and AI generated takeoff is trusting the output. How can we trust what comes back from the machine? The answer is simple: trust will come with usage and time. Just like how we had to learn to trust Excel when it was first introduced, we will need to use machine learning and AI generated takeoff to see what it can automate and what it cannot. As a software vendor, we can do a great job of building a good user interface and user experience for the user to make them feel that the tool is still accommodating their needs. We also focus on augmentation rather than automation, which means we want to remove repetitive and annoying tasks from the estimator, not replace them.

Efficiency of Machine Learning and AI Generated Takeoff

Another concern with machine learning and AI generated takeoff is whether it really saves any time at all. The answer is yes. With machine learning and AI generated takeoff, we can give You output in 10 to 40 seconds, depending on internet speed. This is a significant improvement from the 30 to 45 minutes it would take an estimator to do the same takeoff manually. We Are focused on augmenting the estimator, not replacing them, so they can spend their time on more valuable tasks.

Augmenting Rather Than Automating

We believe in augmenting rather than automating. Our aim is to remove annoying tasks from the estimator, such as clicking and dragging, but we still want the estimator to be involved in the process. We want to take the estimator to a new level of contribution, not replace them. We have created innovative tools such as merge, cut, and split to speed up the cleaning process. We also want to make sure that our output looks good and is visually appealing to the estimator.

The Role of Estimators in Machine Learning and AI Generated Takeoff

Estimators play a crucial role in machine learning and AI generated takeoff. There is a lot of art in estimating that we sometimes don't appreciate as estimators. There is a lot of knowledge in the human brain that is not on the drawings or in the specs. Machine learning and AI generated takeoff can Never replace the estimator because there is so much that the machine cannot know. We want the estimator to learn the project and the system of the project. We want to augment the estimator, not replace them.

Learning Drawings with Machine Learning and AI Generated Takeoff

Machine learning and AI generated takeoff can help with the tedious task of clicking and dragging, but the estimator still needs to learn the drawings. There is a lot of information that is not on the drawings or in the specs, and the estimator needs to go through the document set to put together the whole picture. We are building tools inside our software to help with the cleaning process and make it more efficient.

Catalog of Takeoff Items in Machine Learning and AI Generated Takeoff

We currently have a catalog of eight or nine items that are pre-built into our software. We are always adding more items to the list. We are also building an auto-count feature that will be augmented with machine learning to be more robust in predicting the symbol that the user provides.

National Home Builders and Developers of MDU Multi-Family Units in Machine Learning and AI Generated Takeoff

National home builders and developers of MDU multi-family units are a good fit for machine learning and AI generated takeoff. We have a variety of users, including general contractors, subcontractors, and homeowners. We are focused on augmenting the estimator, not replacing them, so they can spend their time on more valuable tasks.

Conclusion

Machine learning and AI generated takeoff are becoming increasingly popular in the construction industry. We believe in augmenting rather than automating and want to remove annoying tasks from the estimator, not replace them. Trust will come with usage and time, and we are building tools to make the cleaning process more efficient. We are excited about the future of machine learning and AI generated takeoff and the value it can bring to the construction industry.
