Melt Takeoff

Melt Takeoff is built for estimators who need takeoffs that are not just fast, but truly bid-ready and reliable. Unlike fully automated takeoff software that only measures what’s drawn, Melt Takeoff is designed around a simple truth: winning bids requires accounting for what’s missing from plans — the scope gaps, incomplete details, coordination conflicts, and implied work that experienced estimators catch through judgment.

Melt Takeoff combines AI vision with expert estimator validation to deliver takeoffs with both speed and accuracy. The workflow is simple: upload plans, the AI measures and identifies scope, flags drawing/spec conflicts, adds allowances, and then senior estimators validate everything before delivery. This hybrid model is what makes Melt Takeoff dependable — AI accelerates measurement, but real estimators ensure completeness and constructability.

Key capabilities include:

• AI Vision measurement detecting 800+ building elements with counts, lengths, perimeters, areas, and volumes

• Automated scope recognition across architectural, structural, and MEP drawings

• Detailed allowances for scope not shown, added as itemized ROMs based on code requirements and real project benchmarks

• Drawing–spec conflict detection, with estimator-led resolution before it hits your bid

• Estimator-verified outputs, reviewed by onshore senior estimators with 20+ years of field experience, including delivery of multi-million to billion-dollar projects

• Flexible classification standards, supporting MasterFormat®, UniFormat®, or custom structures, so takeoffs drop directly into your estimating workflow

• Interactive takeoff output, with side-by-side plan review, traceable quantities, and clean Excel exports ready for pricing and bidding

Melt Takeoff is designed for speed without sacrificing trust. Quantities aren’t just dumped into a spreadsheet — they’re delivered in a structured, reviewable format so teams can validate quickly, collaborate internally, and confidently move into bid submission. The output stays fully in your control: review, adjust, and export clean files without messy reformatting.

Melt Takeoff delivers a takeoff process that is 40% more accurate, 20% faster, and 10% cheaper, with turnaround times ranging from 2–3 days for small projects to 7–8 days for extra-large projects. The result is fewer missed scope items, stronger bid coverage, reduced risk of underbidding, and significantly more confidence in your numbers — so estimators can bid faster and win more work.
