AI Takeoff + BOQ

AI detects every door, window, wall, and column with bounding boxes. Get a bill of quantities with visual proof on every detection.

Watch AI turn a PDF into a complete BOQ in seconds

Our AI engine detects doors, windows, walls, columns, and fixtures on the drawing and returns bounding boxes with confidence scores — zero-shot, no training. Every count is traced to a box on the drawing so your numbers are defensible.

FAQ

Is it really AI?
Yes. Our AI engine detects objects on construction drawings and returns bounding boxes with confidence scores — no manual training required.
How accurate is it?
Our AI detects doors, windows, walls, columns, and fixtures with confidence scores shown on each box. You review and adjust in the BOQ editor before exporting, so you stay in control.
What file types can I upload?
PDF blueprints out of the box. PNG/JPG photos work too — the AI counts fixtures from a photo.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel from the billing page whenever you need.
Do I need to install anything?
No. CyanBuild runs in the browser — upload a drawing and get a takeoff. Nothing to install or maintain.
