Kreo — AI Construction Takeoff Software with Estimating Capabilities
Kreo is an AI-powered, cloud-based construction takeoff and estimating platform designed to streamline quantity surveying, cost planning, and collaboration across pre-construction teams. It supports rapid data processing for large-scale projects, real-time collaboration, and secure data handling across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.
Overview
- AI-powered takeoff and estimating with cloud-based access
- Intuitive interface aimed at speeding up measurements, BoQ, and cost plans
- Real-time data sharing and collaboration across project stakeholders
- Strong security and data confidentiality through modern encryption
- Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, Apple, Linux)
Who It Helps
- Quantity Surveyors: Automate manual takeoffs, generate accurate quantities from plans, and simplify cost plan preparation.
- Cost Estimators: Access real-time quantity data, compare scenarios, and link material prices and labor rates dynamically.
- Contractors: Single source of truth for quantities, drawings, and changes; coordinate subs and trades with cloud updates.
How It Works
- Upload PDF or CAD files, set the scale, and start measuring.
- Measure drawings manually or use AI to speed up quantity acquisition.
- Receive results in your preferred format (BoQ, cost estimates, reports).
This workflow facilitates faster decision-making, reduced errors, and better project coordination.
Core Features
- AI-powered takeoff and estimating for faster, more accurate quantities
- Cloud-based collaboration with real-time data sharing
- AI-assisted one-click measurements and object identification in drawings
- Flexible reporting (BoQ, cost plans, scenarios) and export formats
- Bidirectional data handling: integrate materials, prices, and labor rates
- Cross-platform accessibility (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Secure data encryption and confidentiality
- Team collaboration tools: comments, tagging, notifications, and RFIs/changes management
- Template-driven workflows for repeatable projects and databases of materials/prices
How It Works in Practice
- Upload and scale project drawings (PDF/CAD).
- Use AI to quickly identify identical objects and generate takeoffs.
- Iterate measurements, update prices, and generate cost plans with one-click exports.
- Collaborate with team members in real time, track changes, and keep the field and office in sync.
Safety and Legal Considerations
- Ensure data privacy and client consent when sharing project information.
- Use AI-generated estimates as part of a broader estimation process with human review.
Getting Started
- Start a trial or book a demo to see how Kreo fits your organization’s takeoff and estimating needs.
