Build Construction Estimates and Quotes Faster with AI

Takeoffs, re-keying quantities and re-checking numbers eat most of an estimator’s week. Our AI estimating software handles that repetitive work, from plan set to priced estimate, while your team keeps control of every number.

From Plan Set to Quote in One Workflow

  • Start from what you already havePlan sets, specs, addenda or existing takeoffs
  • One structured estimateQuantities, materials, labor and costs in one place
  • Your pricing, your logicYour rate card, markups and margins
  • Review, then quoteNothing goes out without estimator sign-off

Everything You Need for Construction Estimating & Quoting

AI-assisted takeoff and pricing combined with structured estimate management, so your team processes plan sets faster and bids with more confidence.

Quantity & Cost Management

Connect quantities with materials, labor, and other costs in one structured estimate.

AI-Assisted Takeoff

Automate counts, areas and lengths from plan sheets while the estimator makes the final call.

Structured Estimate Data

Keep line items, quantities, specs and costs organized for review and revisions.

Source Data Verification

Trace every quantity back to the sheet it came from before you finalize.

Fast Re-Estimates

Update quantities and pricing for addenda and change orders without rebuilding the estimate.

Quote Preparation

Turn approved estimates into structured, customer-ready quotes with less manual work.

From Plan Set to Quote

1
Step 1

Read the plan set

AI reads drawings, specs and addenda, and sorts sheets by discipline.

2
Step 2

Take off quantities

Counts, areas and lengths flow into a structured estimate by trade.

3
Step 3Your rules

Apply pricing

Your rate card, markup and margin rules are applied to every line.

4
Step 4Your review

Review

The estimator checks quantities against the sheets and makes the final call.

5
Step 5

Generate the quote

The approved estimate becomes a customer-ready bid or quote.

FAQs

AI Estimating Software

What is AI estimating software?

AI estimating software uses artificial intelligence to assist with the repetitive and data-intensive parts of preparing an estimate. Markovate’s AI estimating software helps organize technical information, quantities, components, and costs so teams can create and review estimates more efficiently while retaining control over the final result.

Can AI estimating software create quotes from estimates?

Yes, Markovate’s AI estimating software can use structured estimate information to support quote preparation. Teams can review quantities, costs, pricing, markups, margins, and other commercial inputs before finalizing the customer-facing quote.

Does AI estimating software replace an estimator?

No. It is designed to support the estimator, not replace them. It helps automate repetitive tasks and organize information, while the estimator remains responsible for reviewing quantities, validating costs, understanding project requirements, and approving the final estimate.

How does AI estimating software improve accuracy?

It helps reduce manual data transfer and repetitive entry while keeping source information, quantities, and calculations more visible for review. Accuracy still depends on the quality of the source information, pricing, assumptions, and final human validation, so the estimator remains an essential part of the process.

What is the difference between estimating and quoting?

Estimating determines the expected cost of completing a project, including materials, labor, components, and other costs. Quoting uses that cost information along with pricing, markup, margin, and commercial requirements to determine the price presented to the customer. Markovate’s AI estimating software helps connect these workflows so teams can move from technical information to estimate and then to quote.

Can AI estimating software work with our existing estimating process?

Yes. It can fit into an existing workflow by using information and quantities your team already works with, while helping automate and structure the estimating process. It can also work as part of a more connected workflow from source data through to a finalized estimate.
