Description

PreConstruct AI is an online application designed for construction takeoff and estimating, catering specifically to subcontractors engaged in bidding for interior finishes, concrete, and wood framing projects based on PDF drawing sets. It efficiently interprets drawing scales and utilizes plan notes, schedules, and partition legends to assist in pinpointing and measuring quantities for walls, ceilings, and concrete. Currently in beta, the AI-driven wall suggestions are subject to review and modification by the estimator before final approval. Once quantities are sanctioned, they are transformed into detailed material lists that include items such as studs, boards, insulation, tape, compound, paint, concrete, and rebar, complete with calculations and references to the relevant drawing sheets. Estimators have the flexibility to input their own material prices, generate proposal PDFs, and export the data into Excel or CSV formats. Additionally, the application accommodates projects using imperial, metric, or mixed units. It also streamlines estimating workflows, allowing estimators to meticulously review measurements and quantities prior to bid submission, ensuring accuracy and completeness in their proposals. This functionality supports a broader range of project requirements, enhancing the overall efficiency of the estimating process.

Description

Schaltwerk is a cloud-based software solution designed specifically for contractors involved in painting and interior finishing. It integrates essential features such as customer and project management, room dimensions, estimates, quotes, invoices, scheduling, time tracking, and vital project documents. While office personnel can operate directly from a web browser, field teams utilize mobile applications to log project details and exchange important files. The PDF plan measurement function operates independently of LiDAR, but room scanning necessitates having a compatible LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro or Pro Max. It is crucial to verify measurement results and the documents produced prior to their application. Aimed at German trade businesses, the software is hosted within Germany's borders. Subscription plans are structured based on the number of users: Start allows for five users, Betrieb accommodates ten, and Professional supports up to twenty, with additional users available for an extra fee. For those seeking assistance, optional services such as setup, catalog creation, and data migration can be procured at a cost, though self-setup is offered at no charge. The Professional plan includes personalized onboarding support to facilitate a smoother transition. Users can take advantage of a 30-day trial period that requires no credit card information and will terminate automatically, as there is no permanent free version available. This comprehensive approach ensures that contractors have the tools they need for efficient project management and client interaction.
