The Bill Please is a quantity takeoff plugin built for Rhinoceros and VisualARQ users in architecture and construction.
It calculates quantities, areas and per-layer material takeoffs directly from Rhino or VisualARQ geometry, without requiring strict BIM compliance.
Results export to customizable XLS templates for cost estimation and material takeoff workflows.

Sparkel is an AI-powered takeoff platform that reads PDF drawings and BIM models, even messy ones, and turns them into live, editable quantities. It's built for construction estimators, specialty contractors and BIM professionals who need to automate quantity takeoff across drawing revisions. Plans range from a free tier for basic PDF takeoff up to BIM (IFC/Revit) workflows and API access on higher tiers.
Ruh AI makes estimating and takeoff software for subcontractors. Upload a drawing set and the Takeoff Agent measures quantities from it, while the Estimating Agent prices them from your company's own rate book and history. Your estimator approves every scope line before Ruh measures it, can edit every quantity and price, and approves each stage before the next opens. Each scope line cites its drawing or spec. A sheet with no scale gets no area or length, and a trade with nothing priced shows a labelled allowance line. Built for concrete, masonry, steel, drywall, roofing, glazing and MEP trades.
BEAM is a Rhino plugin for architects, engineers, and designers who need to move geometry into Revit or IFC without leaving Rhino. It attaches BIM data to Rhino objects and exports native Revit families or IFC 2x3/4 files, cutting out manual rebuild work. A free LITE tier covers small exports; BEAM PRO adds unlimited Revit and IFC import/export for £345/year.
