The project
An estimator spends hours finding the same facts in a drawing set before pricing anything. We built tools that index the drawings once, answer takeoff questions from that index, and produce the priced bid documents.
What we built
- A drawing analyzer that indexes a PDF set into a sheet register, an object database and a specification wiki
- A roof takeoff estimator
- A bid-form generator for branded priced-takeoff PDFs and spreadsheet proposals
- The workflow behind The Takeoff Desk, our estimating service
Built with
- Claude skills
- Python
- ReportLab
- openpyxl
Collaborative Concept is not a licensed contractor. Its takeoffs carry no contractor license and no engineering seal, and are delivered under its own name, separately from any licensed partner’s work.
