The industrial takeoff platform
Industrial takeoff - every trade, done in hours.
theTakeoff.ai reads your drawings - P&IDs, isometrics, structural, mechanical and more - and returns bid-ready takeoffs across the disciplines in an industrial bid. Piping is live today; the platform is expanding one trade at a time.
Built with estimators across process, plant and industrial contractors

What this is
What it is
The kicker valve. Opened to divert main-line flow in behind a loaded pig and push it out of the barrel; shut in normal operation so product runs straight down the main line. Identified as BALL VALVE from the legend — bowtie with an open circle at the centre crossed by an X; the drawing labels it BJD.
What it does
kicker line block. open ball in bowtie on the 4in kicker run into the barrel; label 4in BJD

How it works
Price Your Bid 70% Faster with theTakeoff.AI
See it on your drawings1
Material Take-Off
Upload your drawing set and theTakeoff.ai extracts every length, fitting, weld and hardware item into a structured MTO across disciplines.
Deviation Detection
The platform flags mismatches, missing items and spec conflicts between drawings and notifies you before they reach the bid.
Material and Labor Pricing
Apply your price books and labor rates directly to the MTO, so you go from quantities to a priced estimate without switching tools.
The outcome
The math is the pitch.
Turn a heavy industrial take-off from weeks into hours, save estimator time on every bid, and put that capacity toward the work you're currently turning down.

FAQs
Questions, answered.
The short answers estimators want before sending their first live package.
P&ID takeoff is the process of reading a set of Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams and counting everything in scope - every valve, instrument, equipment item, in-line specialty and line - then decoding each line number into its pipe class so a contractor can size and price a bid. It is the first quantity takeoff in any process-piping estimate.
A dense P&ID takes a senior estimator 30 to 60 minutes to take off by hand. A typical process-unit bid package contains 300 or more P&IDs, so manual takeoff consumes 250-plus estimator-hours per bid - the single biggest constraint on how many tenders a team can chase.
theTakeoff.ai extracts every valve, instrument, equipment item and in-line specialty on the sheet, reads and decodes every line number into size, pipe class, service and insulation, factors bulk pipe and fitting quantities, and flags tie-ins, spec breaks and battery limits - then exports a complete, priced scope takeoff to Excel.
Yes. theTakeoff.ai processes scanned, photographed and older, legacy P&IDs - including drawings from the 1980s and 1990s - alongside native CAD exports. Low-confidence detections are flagged for estimator review rather than guessed.
theTakeoff.ai detects and classifies components at high first-pass accuracy and improves on every bid as it learns a client's drawing conventions and symbol libraries. Every detection is shown beside the source drawing for accept, edit or reject, so the estimator signs off on the final count.
No. theTakeoff.ai automates the reading - opening every sheet, counting every component, decoding every line. The estimator keeps the judgment: interpreting scope, identifying spec breaks, assessing how it gets built and the commercial risk, and signing off on every quantity.
