The platform

One platform, drawings to GMP.

Most rivals do takeoff or estimating, then stitch the two with integrations. EstimateNext does both, end to end — and adds a multi-region rate engine, glass-box defensibility and pursuit intelligence on top.

01

Intake & generation

Get a project started in seconds
Estimate upload & parseLIVE
Drag-drop a drawing set or an Excel/PDF estimate → structured, collapsible sections with live totals.
New from BriefLIVE
Paste a scope or brief → AI generates a structured, priced estimate skeleton.
Quick ROMLIVE
Rough order-of-magnitude from minimal input + pursuit-paste autofill — elemental $/SF breakdown.
02

AI takeoff / QTO

Quantities, read from the drawings
AI takeoff from drawingsLIVE
Multi-pass vision extraction of areas, counts and lengths from PDF/image sets; edit a quantity, totals recompute.
Click-to-measureLIVE
Calibrate / Linear / Area / Count / Angle on the drawing, send-to-estimate in one click — Bluebeam-style, in-app.
CAD / BIM ingestSUPPORTED
DWG and BIM upload paths with QTO review and a BIM viewer/diff. Maturity varies by file — demo on clean sets.
03

Multi-region rate matching

Every line, source-cited
AI rate matchingLIVE
Semantic + keyword + LLM matching; each row shows amount + source + confidence badge. Unmatched rows flagged for review.
Match review (HITL)LIVE
Accept / reject / re-match with reasons. The matcher learns from your corrections; your historicals weight above published rates.
Confidence & variance flagsLIVE
Green / amber / red per line, plus >15% variance flags against the engine’s recommended rate — nothing hidden.
04

Rate build-up & analysis

Show your work
Rate AnalysisLIVE
Per-line Materials / Labour / Equipment coefficients → unit rate + Overhead & Profit, with provenance chips and AI methodology.
Rate Library / ExploreLIVE
Material-first exploration of the rate corpus; benchmark a rate vs. the engine’s recommended rate — glass-box, both shown.
Provenance tiersLIVE
Every rate tagged by source tier — your actuals, your bids, published schedules, derived, AI-inferred — and weighted accordingly.
05

Downstream estimate tools

From priced estimate to package
What-If (live re-pricing)LIVE
Change a rate or markup → the project total updates, streaming. Save scenarios and compare.
VE AnalysisLIVE
AI value-engineering with multi-discipline "expert panel" verdicts.
Material Budget & AbstractLIVE
Material budget, abstract summary, cost loading — generated from the priced estimate.
Schedule & Cash FlowLIVE
Programme and cash-flow generated from the priced estimate.
GMP / Carbon / Supplier-QuoteLIVE
Owner-ready packages — GMP (CSI divisions, AIA G702/G703), carbon, supplier-quote.
Universal HubLIVE
Import/export with gap and conflict reconciliation across sources.
06

Bid & pursuit intelligence

Win more of what you chase
Go / No-GoLIVE
Criteria-rubric scoring for the pursuit decision.
Bid LevelingLIVE
Vendor quotes normalised side-by-side, scope-gap detection, a recommended vendor with a composite score.
Win-IQLIVE
Portfolio win-rate, loss post-mortems, markup sweet-spot, next-bid strategy.
07

AI co-pilot & platform

Grounded in your projects
Co-pilot rail (⌘J)LIVE
A grounded assistant on every page with tools over your projects, rates, contractors and history. Deep-linked sources.
ExportsLIVE
Priced-estimate / rate-analysis XLSX and GMP PDF (CSI MasterFormat, AIA G702/G703).
Public lookup APILIVE
Keyed /public/v1/ rate-search & pricing endpoints for embedding rate lookups in other tools.
