AI cost estimation for construction

Drawings in,
Priced SoW out

Xtimo reads and understands the drawings, generates the Schedule of Work, and then prices it. You can add an existing SoW for Xtimo to fill in.

From drawings to a project estimate

Watch a project become a priced Schedule of Work

Xtimo classifies the pages, takes off the quantities, and prices every line, then flags the few that need your eye.

The estimating bottleneck

Tender responses take days

Take off, pricing and checking use up hours, often with no reward.

01

Every file is different

Architect SoWs arrive in their own layout, wording and column order. No two spreadsheets behave the same way, so manual parsing never ends.

02

Take-off is slow and manual

Measuring quantities off drawings by hand is the longest part of an estimate, and the easiest place for a small slip to become a large number.

03

Rates drift out of date

Pricing from memory or stale libraries leaves gaps you only notice when the margin disappears on site.

04

Errors hide until it hurts

A transposed quantity or missed item can sit quietly in a tender until it costs you the job, or costs you the profit.

How it works

Three steps to a review-ready estimate

Drop in what you have and let Xtimo do the heavy work, then review and export. You stay in control of every number.

01

Upload

Add your blueprint PDFs only; add an SoW if you have it; or describe the project in plain language. Xtimo creates your estimate from all types of input.

02

Estimate

Xtimo runs the project automatically: parses the files, takes off quantities, prices every line, then checks its own work.

03

Review and export

Obtain a fully priced SoW, where each line has a clear confidence score. Adjust the numbers, review the flagged items, and export to a clean Excel or PDF file.

Built for your role

One platform, four ways to win back time

Add drawings, an SoW or a few lines of plain language; Xtimo takes it from there and creates a priced, easy to review estimate.

Architects and designers

Hand over drawings, get a priced SoW back

Ask Xtimo to estimate your drawings during the design. Start the conversation on budget before the important decisions are made.

What's inside

Everything an estimate needs

A connected toolchain that reads your inputs, measures, prices, checks its own work and answers your questions.

SoW extraction

Reads architect Excel SoWs in whatever format they arrive, detects the columns and pulls out clean work items.

Blueprint analysis

Classifies PDF pages, detects room, wall, door and window patterns, then runs a two-pass take-off across the set.

Automatic run

Upload and walk away. Xtimo parses, takes off, prices and verifies, then reports progress live until the estimate is ready.

Quantity engine

A layered engine resolves each quantity through several methods, scores its confidence and flags the ones a human should confirm.

HAWK pricing

Grounds every rate in a real price library rather than guesswork, so the numbers reflect what work actually costs.

AI Assistant

An in-product AI assistant that answers questions about the estimate and drafts or edits the SoW on request.

Verification & audit

A checking pass that hunts for anomalies and spec risks, surfacing what looks off before it reaches a client.

Export

Send the finished estimate to Excel or PDF, formatted and ready to share, tender or file.

Your compounding edge

Every project sharpens your prices

Each estimate feeds your private price library. When you win or lose a tender, Xtimo learns the rates that actually clear the market, yours, not a generic book. The more you use it, the more it prices the way you win.

Learns from won and lost tenders

Every result feeds your library with rates that actually clear the market.

Your library, your rates, isolated

Scoped to your workspace, so your pricing edge compounds for you alone.

Sharper with every project

The more you run, the more grounded and confident each estimate gets.

Your price library

Isolated to your workspace
After 1 project0% grounded
After 10 projects0% grounded
After 25 projects0% grounded

More tenders in, sharper and more grounded prices out.

AI Assistant

Talk to your estimate

The AI assistant lives inside the workspace and knows your project. Ask why a line is priced the way it is, request a missing section, or have it redraft items in plain language. It drafts and edits real entries you approve before they stick.

Ask anything

Question any quantity, rate or assumption and get an answer grounded in your own project data.

Draft and edit

Add items, restructure sections or rework wording, with every change yours to confirm or reject.

Stay in context

It works from the actual SoW, drawings and prices in front of you, not a generic template.

Which quantities look unusually high?

Three lines sit above pattern: underpinning, structural steel and roof tiling. Each is flagged for review with its source.

3 items flagged

Trust by design

Confident where it can be, honest where it can’t

Construction inputs are unpredictable, so Xtimo never hinges a number on a single guess. It reads each file in layers, scores its confidence on every quantity, and flags the doubtful lines for a human to confirm.

Confidence on every quantity

Each measured quantity carries a score, so you see which numbers are solid and which need a look.

Flagged for review, never buried

The hard cases are surfaced, not hidden. Xtimo asks rather than fabricating a tidy but wrong answer.

Human in the loop

Nothing is final until you say so. You confirm the flagged items and own the numbers that leave the building.

What our clients say

Early teams are already moving faster

RISEUrbanist ArchitecturehouseUP
“Xtimo turned a full set of drawings into a priced Schedule of Work in a fraction of the time it used to take us. Every line comes back with a confidence score and the ones worth a second look are flagged, so we can put a real number in front of a client far earlier than before.”
The team at houseUP

Pay only for what you estimate

A typical tender (SoW analysis, blueprint extraction, quantities, pricing, and audit) runs roughly 10 to 60 credits depending on tender size. No seats, no contracts.
