Key Takeaways
- CyanBuild's AI reads tile plans and floor and wall area automatically.
- Price with your local $40-70/hr rates — no spreadsheet.
- Typical Tile costs: $8-18/SF/floor tile, $7-15/SF/wall tile, $12-25/SF/stone tile.
- Visual proof per item means a defensible, reviewable estimate.
How CyanBuild handles Tile takeoff
Tile takeoff covers floor and wall tile by area with pattern, trim, grout, and waterproofing allowances. CyanBuild detects and counts floor and wall area and other tile elements from your PDF, measures areas and runs, and lets you price each line with local rates.
