Quantities, Drawn Right Onto Your Plans
SCPM Project's AI reads your plan set and drafts quantities as editable, color-coded geometry on the sheets – correct it by moving the shape and the quantity recomputes. Paired with your own cost books, the estimate starts from your real numbers.

Takeoff is where a lot of estimating hours quietly disappear – and where a lot of the mistakes that show up later first get born. SCPM Project's AI reads your plan set and lays down the quantities as color-coded, editable geometry right on the plan sheets. You see exactly what it measured, on the drawing itself. Need to fix something? Just move the shape. The quantity updates on the spot.
It's not a black box that spits out a number you're supposed to blindly trust. It's a visible first pass you can check, adjust, and stand behind – done in a fraction of the time a full manual takeoff takes. Every quantity traces back to something you can actually see on the plan.
Pair that with bring-your-own pricing – your licensed cost book services, the supplier quotes you uploaded, and your own realized cost history, all sitting side by side on each line – and the estimate is built on your real numbers, not some generic national catalog. BIM models and even your iPhone (LiDAR-equipped) room scan feed the same pipeline.
The fastest estimator isn't the one who measures the quickest. It's the one who starts from a draft that's already ninety percent right and spends the saved hours making sure the last ten percent is dead-on.
